WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY. HOW IT WAS IN REAL

[Chairman_Organizing_Committee]

1986. SOCIALIST BODYBUILDING NEWS.
1986. BUILDING NEW „U.S.S.R. BODYBUILDING FEDERATION“.
It comes more freedom in 1986. Bodybuilding is more popular. Many people are somehow connected and involved in bodybuilding. The time comes closer when in 1987 the recognized by the „U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport“ (U.S.S.R. Goskomsport, Министерство спорта С.С.С.Р., Госкомспорт С.С.С.Р.) the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federattion“ («Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») is established.
The prohibition and prosecution of bodybuilding in socialist Countries became formal. In 1978 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS (Др. Эдмундас Даубарас) dared to write bodybuilding defending petition. He personally brought it to Moscow and presenetd to the Central Committee of the U.S.S.R. Communist Party (Центральный Комитет Коммунистической партии С.С.С.Р.) as well as to other highest U.S.S.R. political institutuins.  No one of Socialist bodybuilders supported DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS then. All were afrayed. After this the prosecution of bodybuilders became softer and softer every year.
During the last years it was VLADIMIR SUBOV (Владимир Шубов) who represented the R.S.F.S.R. at the International Contests in Lithuanian SSR and Estonian SSR. He was in constant contacts with the „U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport“. To keep the contacts on he rented a room at the Headquarters of the Ministry.
In 1986 on the occasion of the 27-th „Congress of the U.S.S.R. Communist Party“ a big festival was organized in Moscow. Bodybuildires of the R.S.F.S.R. and Lithuanian SSR took part at the event.
In 1986 the creator and President of the W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association)  SERGE NUBRET sent a letter to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Why to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS? The reason - since 1977 until 1987 „Klaipeda Bodybuilding Federation“ was the only one officially recognized bodybuilding federation in the U.S.S.R.. All other units had no status of a „federation“ and they were not recognized. The letter included huge correspondence of SERGE NUBRET and the President of the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) BEN WEIDER. SERGE NUBRET asked to publish the materials. But DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS did not do it until now as the materials included many extremelly personal intimate matters of BEN WEIDER.
1986. BUILDING NEW „U.S.S.R. BODYBUILDING FEDERATION“.
After the 1986 „Amber Prix International“ in Klaipeda (Lithuanian SSR) DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS collected in his appartments most influental bodybuilding persons of the R.S.F.S.R.. That were VLADIMIR SUBOV (Moscow) and VLADIMIR DUBININ (Leningrad). In 1986 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS after twelve years pause brought back to sport VLADIMIR DUBININ (Leningrad). Being unsatisfied with the work of the formal U.S.S.R. bodybuilding leaders DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke to all personts about the necessity to build a new „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation“. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wanted a federation which is recognized by the „U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport“ and he wanted bodybuilding being recognized as the official sport too (detailed articles in various languages are on International Site www.wff.lt ).
1986. FIRST IN SPORT HISTORY OFFICIAL BODYBUILDING SEMINAR.
Traditionally the „Amber Prix International“ was the most important U.S.S.R. bodybuilding Contest. Since 1978 until 1987 it was an „unofficial U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Championahip“ («Неофициальный чемпионат С.С.С.Р. по культуризму»). The „U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport“ recognized this fact. In 1986 delegates of the „U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport“ came to visit the „Amber Prix International“ in Klaipeda. There were several representatives of the „U.S.S.R. Weightlifting Federation“ among them. During the competition they organized the first in the official sport history bodybuilding seminar. It was held in a cinema of Klaipeda. After the seminar all attendants were examened and after this they received the „U.S.S.R. Trainer‘s Certificates“ («Удостоверение тренера С.С.С.Р.»).
1986. INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS OF SOCIALIST WORLD.
At the 1986 „Amber Prix International“ participated 87 bodybuilders from Lithuanian SSR, Latvian SSR, Estonian SSR, R.S.F.S.R., Belorussian SSR and Ukrainian SSR.

Next by the rank of the U.S.S.R. bodybuilding Competitons was the Estonian SSR „Georg Tenno Memorial“ («Мемориал Георга Еенно», 1971 – 1989). In 1986 it was not organized as INNAR MARDO left bodybuilding activities.
During the last several years ARKADIJ KASANSKIJ used to organize Competitions in Charkov City (Ukrainian SSR). In 1986 he held two Contests. At the first of them participated 98 bodybuilders from Ukrainian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, latvian SSR and R.S.F.S.R.. Over all Winners were OLEG SAVIC (Олег Савич, R.S.F.S.R.,  juniors) and ALEKSANDR VASIN (Александр Васин R.S.F.S.R., Main Categories).

(Deutche Demokratishe Republik) took part at the event. Kaunas Comsomol leadres helped U.S.S.R. bodybuilders to invite D.D.R. athletes. The Category Winners were: Lithuanians VINCAS DUBICKAS, PAVEL KOSENKO, ALGIRDAS IVANAUSKAS, OLEGAS MASLOVAS (Олег Маслов, R.T.F.S.R.).
Also in 1986 several local Competitions were held in Leningrad and Liubercy (both R.S.F.S.R.), in the Belorussian SSR and in the Lithuanian SSR.
Speaking about the other Socialist Countries we should mention „Trener“ contest in the Czechoslovakian SSR. The Category Winners were: Czechoslovaks PETR DUDAREC, JAN KUS, JAN CERNY and PETER MOLNAR (Hungarian SSR).
Another competition was held in Neubranderburg (D.D.R.). Category Winners were: BERNARD SEIBE  (D.D.R.) and Czechoslovaks LIBOR MINARIK, PAVOL JABLONICKY, JAN CERNY. The Over All Winner was LIBOR MINARIK.

NEWS INTERNATIONAL.
FALL OF BODYBUILDING.
Working since 1968 W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International unites today members from 141 Countries. Some time ago Bahrain joined the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. .In difference to other International Bodybuilding Structures under the leadership of W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International seeks recognition of the U.N. (United Nations), I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee) and W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency). W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. knows the way to reach these goals. Under the basis of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. the International Sport University (I.S.U.) was created in 2015. Since 2017 the I.S.U. university is an associated member of the U.N.E.S.C.O. organization which works under the U.N..
OTHER INTERNATIONAL BODYBUILDING ORGANIZATIONS.
We will not speak about other federations. Concerning real recognized sport their activities are of zero value. Zero... We mean real SPORT and nothing else. Every day appear some new „international federations“... They have never been in real recognized sport and they will never be there. What are the „great“ aims of these federations? Can anybody say? Why these federations live and what they want?
If You want official bodybuilding sport – there was F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) which ruled official bodybuilding sport in the World. Since 1947 until 1969 due to efforts of American BOB HOFFMAN (Robert Collins Hoffman, 1898 - 1985) through the F.I.H.C. federation bodybuilding was an officially recognized sport and it was very close to be Olympic. Since 1971 until 1998 F.I.H.C. was replaced by the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders). If You want real big not recognized anytime anywhere muscle battle – since 1950 You have N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association). What else a bodybuilder could dream of? Why appeared so many „mickey – mouse“ federations? Let us take as an example Lithuanian Republic. There are representatives of several „mickey – mouse“ federations. They make various festivals and they are proud of this. Where it could lead? To the festivals in other countries? Are they participant bodybuilders or they are „singers and dancers“ of the „song and dance festivals“? What is the official status of these federations? What is official status of their festivals? Really it is not sport.
For example, let us speak of last forty years of the Independent Lithuania Republic. What are the Great Bodybuilding Names of that period? That are the only ones – I.F.B.B. Over All World Champions NATALIJA MURNIKOVIENE, ROLANDAS BUCINSKAS, ROLANDAS POCIUS and OLEG ZUR. Disaster came to this sport when twenty years ago WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN left bodybuilding. All contemporary „World Champions“ can not be compared to any of the mentioned bodybuilders. During the „Weider times“ bodybuilding was sport since 1971 until 1998. It was recognized sport. Now – not! Sport is finished for all times. The above mentioned Lithuanian bodybuilders were representing sport and their achievements were official. Today’s I.F.B.B. “world champions” are of zero value if we speak about sport. The aim of contemporary National I.F.B.B. federation is to go on fooling Ministry of Sport of Lithuania and this way go on receiving governmental money for their activities. And their activities according the I.O.C. official statement already long ago are not sport anymore. Nobody knows the names of today’s “world champions”. Nobody even tries to know. 
SHORT HISTORY OF WORLD’S OFFICIAL BODYBUILDING SPORT.
F.I.H.C. was a member of the I.O.C. and it influenced the „U.S.S.R. Sport Ministry“ («Министерство спорта С.С.С.Р.») to set the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation“ (Comission, «Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») in 1963. The federation was set at the „U.S.S.R. Weightlifting Federation“ («Федерация тяжёлой атлетики С.С.С.Р.»). After 1973 bodybuilding prohibition in the U.S.S.R. and Socialist Countries bodybuilding was prosecuted for twenty years. During this time in the „Western World“ official recognized bodybuilding sport was led by the I.F.B.B. and not recognized bodybuilding activities were ruled by N.A.B.B.A.. at the same time in the Socialist World public U.S.S.R. bodybuilding lived and survived in the Estonian SSR only through „Georg Tenno Memorial“ («Мемориал Георга Тенно», 1971 - 2024) contest organized by INNAR MARDO (Иннар Мардо, 1945 – 2002) and in the Lithuanian SSR only through the „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinio prizo“ «Янтарный приз», 1968 - 2025) organized by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. During the prohibition years for political reasons it was not possible to set any International Bodybuilding Organization in the U.S.S.R.. Nevertheless DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS initiated official registration of „Klaipeda Bodybuilding Federation“ („Klaipėdos kultūrizmo federacija“, «Федерация культуризма г. Клайпеда»). It was registered at the governmental „Klaipeda Sport Committee“ („Kūno kultūros ir sporto komitetas“, «Комитет физкультуры и спорта г. Клайпеда»). In all U.S.S.R bodybuilding was prohibited and at the same time in Klaipeda bodybuilding was allowed. For many years „Klaipeda Bodybuilding Federation“ was the only one officially registered bodybuilding federation in the U.S.S.R.. This was the reason that all World‘s Bodybuilding leaders were in touch and correspondence with DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. That were I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER, N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association) Chairman OSCAR HEIDENSTAM and W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association) President SERGE NUBRET. Detailed articles on the topic are at the International Page www.wff.lt .
In 1970 F.I.H.C. General Secretary British OSCAR STATE created the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) sport federation in Belgrade (Yugoslavia). Until 1970 I.F.B.B. was just a private commercial company, not sport federation. In 1971 again OSCAR STATE opened doors of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations)  to the I.F.B.B.. This way from and after the F.I.H.C. the I.F.B.B. took ruling leadership of the International official sport of bodybuilding. International sport was in shock. Soon in the USA was organized the A.A.U. International Council to stop I.F.B.B. membership in G.A.I.S.F.. I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER was present there. He was ready to join the A.A.U. with his new I.F.B.B.. The delegates did not listen to BEN WEIDER and voted not to let him to speak.
Fall of bodybuilding sport started in 1998 when after two years trial I.O.C. refused to recognize the I.F.B.B. federation and bodybuilding sport in general.  Bodybuilding was thrown out of the officially recognized sports. Seeing no future WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN sold the I.F.B.B. federation, „Olympia“ contest and all their magazines. In 2008 I.F.B.B. split. I.F.B.B. Vice President PAUL CHUA (Singapore) left the I.F.B.B. of RAFAEL SANTONJA. PAUL CHUA took forty Asia Countries with him. Then PAUL CHUA and the Lower and financist of I.F.B.B. ALEX BAUER published I.F.B.B. juridical and finance documents. There was a big scandal about it. PAUL CHUA and RAFAEL SANTONJA met at International Court of London (UK) where RAFAEL SANTAONJA lost the case. In 2015 I.F.B.B. split again. During N.P.C. (National Physique Committee) professional contest I.F.B.B. President RAFAEL SANTONJA was offended and left America with tears. After this he never came to America again. So after 2015 N.P.C. of JIM MANION came to International Bodybuilding Stage. Since that time because of fierce fight between RAFAEL SANTONJA and JIM MANION bodybuilding sport was finished in total. There is no sport of bodybuilding today any more. Along to this the I.F.B.B. commercial company still goes on working. Nobody is interested in sport – only money... In 2023 G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) was closed and I.F.B.B. lost it‘s last formal officiality. For many years I.F.B.B. propaganda was based only on G.A.I.S.F.. In 2023 W.A.D.A. declared stopping work with I.F.B.B..
Those who are interested in real World bodybuilding history can read in various languages historic articles on International Page www.wff.lt .
I.F.B.B. FINANCES.
During the times of WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN the I.F.B.B. was seeking Olympic (I.O.C.) recognition. The game of money flows between the I.F.B.B. sport federation and the I.F.B.B. commercial company was active. Now this game is not needed any more when bodybuilding is no more recognized sport. The I.F.B.B. crisis of 1990 was gone when many Socialist Countries joined the I.F.B.B.. It was not an ordinary joining. Socialist Countries came with governmental money. During all history of bodybuilding Ministries of Sport of any democratic country never supported financially bodybuilding. The exception was when World‘s bodybuilding sport was led by the F.I.H.C. federation which was I.O.C. member. Another case was when the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation“( «Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») was set in 1987. Then bodybuilding sport got governmental recognition and governmental money. All other Socialist Countries did the same. Even now when bodybuilding is not sport any more former Socialist Countries use to finance national bodybuilding federations with governmental money. Except this - governmental money still comes to the I.F.B.B. through Asia Countries. Basic reason is that from the old F.I.H.C. times Asia bodybuilding federations are under national weightlifting federations which are I.O.C. members. Only this. There are no more sources of governmental money in the I.F.B.B.. We are sure that when National Sport Ministries will learn the truth about the I.F.B.B. the governmental financing will be stopped. During the last years on national governmental money I.F.B.B. makes comedy „world championships“, like it was in Latvia and Lithuania. Also remember big scandal about the I.F.B.B. Asia Championship in India with 5-6 Countries participating... Some time ago a big scandal was in Ukraine. The Ukraine I.F.B.B. President IGOR DELIJEV (Делиев Игорь) disappeared with five hundred thousand US dollars governmental bodybuilding support. Also let us remember big scandals with the RAFAEL SANTONJA‘s assistant Polish PAWEL FILEBORN.
COLUMBUS IS BACK.
Under the leadership of JIM MANION in 1983 some A.A.U. bodybuilders left the organization. For long years A.A.U. was supported by the USA Sport Ministry and the USA Olympic Committee. In 1983 JIM MANION set his private company N.P.C.. Until that time there was a fierce fight between I.F.B.B. and A.A.U.. In 1983 I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER and the owner of the new N.P.C. JIM MANION agreed to divide the bodybuilding world. It was like 1939 agreement between ADOLF HITLER and Communist STALIN. Amateur bodybuilding in the USA went to JIM MANION, the rest of the World went to the G.A.I.S.F. member I.F.B.B. of BEN WEIDER. Professional bodybuilding as a private commercial activity went to JOE WEIDER. He continued his private “Olympia” competition which always had nothing to do with official recognized bodybuilding sport. That was the game of  WEIDER brothers. JIM MANION kept his promise and never touched any questions of his agreement with BEN WEIDER. When WEIDER brothers left bodybuilding and passed away JIM MANION changed his mind. In 2015 during a professional contest in the USA I.F.B.B. President RAFAEL SANTONJA was offended and left America forever. So aiming to finish the I.F.B.B. of RAFAEL SANTONJA now N.P.C. goes aggressively through the World.
Today the I.F.B.B. and N.P.C. make many festivals around the World. Yes, festivals, not competitions. Sport is finished and forgotten. N.P.C. play games with „Olympia“ festivals  and I.F.B.B. play with „Arnold Classic“ festivals. RAFAEL SANTONJA is hiding behind the name of ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER. These festivals have nothing connected with real recognized sport. We can say they are like “festivals of dancers and singers” but not sport. Fine – if bodybuilders like it. No International Official Sport Organizations see there any sport. No serious Institutions of any Country recognize them as sport. Long ago CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS  came to America and used to change various worthless things to real gold with local Indians. Now the N.P.C. and I.F.B.B. festival organizers do the same. Bodybuilders are fooled. They forgot the sport and started being “singers” and “dancers”…
OUTSTANDING SOVIET BODYBUILDING THEORETICS AND PRACTICS.
Analyzing today‘s situation we can underline that the officially recognized „Socialist“ bodybuilding of eighties of the last Century was very close to the International Sport Standards and it could lead bodybuilding even to Olympics. Then bodybuilders thought, made decisions and saw real goals of the future. The movement was based on the theoretical and practical works of the leaders of famous „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ («Вильнюсская школа культуризма», “Vilniaus kultūrizmo mokykla”) CESLAV TAMULEVIC (Чеслав Тамулевич) and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ (Виталий Асовский). At that time contest halls were full of spectators. Now nobody goes to watch bodybuilding competitions – they are boring and not interesting. Contemporary bodybuilders can only dream about normal relations with society. Comparing with that mentioned above time even today bodybuilding is at the very primitive level. Joining the „Western“ bodybuilding  „Socialist“ bodybuilding lost it‘s identity and nice future and it was eaten by „West“ organizers.
We do not say that bodybuilders are stupid. Bodybuilders do not think and do not see the essence. Look around and start thinking!

W.F.F. WORLD PRO CHAMPIONSHIPS IN PRAGUE.
BUDGET OF EACH CONTEST HALF A MILLION EURO.
Somehow life runs so quickly and many events and happenings are around us. Also in 2025. today we spoke with our governmental representatives about possibilities of the President of one country to participate at the 26-th W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) “Universe” in Nida Resprt (October 4, Lithuania). Somehow everybody is tencious about this...
But let us remember Great Past about what other federations could dream only. We always were lacking time to tell this story thoroughly. Since 2006 until 2009 W.F.F. World Professional Championships were organized in Czech Republic. They were held in an island in the Prague Vlatava river at the barocco Zofin Palace. Budget of each championship was half a million euro of state money.
TIME PERIOD OF MARTIN KUTA.
EVEN ONE MAN CAN DO A LOT.
It seems that even one man can do a lot on International Level. A famous Czech businessman MARTIN KUTA was always a fan of fitness sport. In 2005 MARTIN KUTA  addressed the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS asking permeation to represent as the Chairman the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. Federation in Czech Republic and to organize annual W.F.F. Fitness Professional World Championship in Prague. From 1999 MARTIN KUTA used to organize a fitness competition in Prague, but this contest had no official International Contest Status.
The initiative of MARTIN KUTA  was supported by the Major of the City Prague and by one of the Czech Socialdemocratic Party Leaders PETR HULINSKI. The W.F.F. Pro World Championship Organizers took the responsibility to collect every year five hundred thousand Euro for the competition as the prize money for Pros, as the payment for luxurious transport, food and accommodation for the International Delegates. The W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International was responsible to collect the Best International Pro Fitness Competitors.
WHY W.F.F. CONTESTS WERE SO MUCH SUCESSFUL?
It was so original - W.F.F. World Championships were held in the Prague barocco style Zofin Palace which was placed in an island in Vltava river. Delegates and athletes were transported by luxurious limousines. Every time the Major City Prague was present at the event. Also famous Czech persons were present too. All basic televisions and newspapers covered the event. Every contest was crowned with the superious banquet for all VIP guests and participants. Many well known personalities worked at the competitions together with MARTIN KUTA and International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Among them was Europe Sport Leader PETER PAPULA (Austria). We would like to remind that in 1995 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, PETER PAPULA, German KLAUS P.J. HOFFMAN created the W.F.F. federation. Also World Legendary Bodybuilder PETR STACH and Professor KAREL TUCHACEK were always working at the contest. Representatives of the Czech I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation assisted in judging as well.
W.F.F. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PARTICIPANTS, EXCEPTIONAL PUBLIC AND AWARDS.
As it was agreed with MARTIN KUTA International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was collecting famous athletes to the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Prague. Famous International athletes from Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Iran, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, France, Serbia and Macedonia took part at the events. There were five categories at the contests - men and women aerobic fitness, men and women model fitness and “Fit -Kids”. Most memorable participants were LENKA BORUTOVA (Czechia), VIKTOR SARKO (Latvia), FEDIR CHASALOV (Ukraine), DANIEL MEDO (Slovakia), MARIETA ZIGALOVA (Slovakia), SILVIA MALACHOVSKA (Slovakia), EVA MARTINKOVA (Slovakia), RITA ELKSNINIA (Latvia), ZUZANA HORVATH (Hungary), ERSZEBET HERCZOG (Hungary).
Due to the fact that it was impossible to collect huge auditorium in Zofin Palace the public was not so much numerable. There were only superior known persons of the Czech Republic. At the same time the competitions got much publicity on all Czech television channels and in press. The W.F.F. Pro Worlds were covered in the pages of the International magazine “Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding” (“Sportinis fitnesas ir kultūrizmas”, «Спортивный фитнес и культуризм») which were in various languages published in Lithuania. Also W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International issued DVD’s. Magazines and DVD’s were presented free of charge at many most important sport events through the World.
At the opening ceremony of the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Zofin Palace participated decorative soldiers of the Roman Empire times. Plus to big money prizes competitors received valuable presents - pearls, free travel and stay in exotic places (for. Example at the Caribic Resorts).  Together wit the Mayor of Prague and MARTIN KUTA awards were presented by famous persons of the Czech Republic, for example at 2009 contest it was current “Miss Czechia” Winner.

1980. „AMBER PRIX INTERNATIONAL“. WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN SOCIALIST WORLD?
In 1980 bodybuilding still was prohibited in the U.S.S.R. and Socialist Countries. When in 1978 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wrote the petition to defend prohibited bodybuilding, he personally brought it to Moscow and presented to the highest U.S.S.R. political powers. The achieved victory let start public competitions in Klaipeda (Lithusnian SSR). Until this contests were illegal and without public. The first official bosybuilding contest was the 1978 „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis prizas“,  «Янтарный приз», 1968 – 2025) which was organized by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Since 1978 the „Amber Prix International“ got the status of the „Unofficial U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Championship“ («Неофициальный чемпионат С.С.С.Р. по культуризму»).
In 1980 three International bodybuilding contests were organized in the U.S.S.R. and all of the were held in the Lithuanian SSR. One of them was the „Amber Prix International“ which was held in the Palace of Culture of the City Klaipeda. The organizers did not expect so big crowd of spectators. So the doors of the palace were broken by entering crowd at the very beginning.
The second contest was held in Kaunas and that was political „Comsomol Cup“ („Komjaunimo taurė“, «Кубок комсомола»). The Category Winners were STANISLAV POLIAKOV (Станислав Поляков, Latvian SSR) and Lithuanians VLADAS KAPCEVICIUS, SAULIUS MISEVICIUS ir EUGENE ZURCEV (Евгений Журцев). The Over All Winner was VLADAS KAPCEVICIUS.
One more contest was organized in Vilnius. That was the competition „Lithuanian SSR versus Hungarian SSR“. Hungarians did not come with strong bodybuildiers and all first places went to the Lithuanians: EUGENE GORELIK (Евгений Горелик), VLADAS KAPCEVICIUS, SAULIUS MISEVICIUS and EUGENE ZURCEV.
In 1980 the traditional „Georg Tenno Memorial“ («Мемориал Георга Тенно», 1971 - 2024) was not organized in the Estonian SSR. When in 1979 INNAR MARDO (Иннар Мардо, 1946 – 2002) and best U.S.S.R. bodybuilder of that time Estonian OLEV ANNUS returned from competition in Czechoslovakian SSR they guarreled in between. Letters of INNAR MARDO to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS say that OLEV ANNUS wrote bad letters about INNAR MARDO to political powers of the Estonian SSR. Due to this INNAR MARDO lost his gym and his position of the President of the National Bodybuilding Federation of the Estonian SSR. Also the Communist powers of the Estonian SSR prohibited 1980 „Georg Tenno Momorial“.
The leadership of bodybuilding in the Estonian SSR took OLEV ANNUS and brothers ARRO. INNAR AMARDO as well as DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS did not stop bodybuilding activities due to the conflicts. Both went on working on their own.
In 1980 separatly from the National Bodybuilding Federation of the Estonian SSR INNAR MARDO and INDREK OTSUS went to „Trener“ contest in the Czechoslovakian SSR. INDREK OTSUS won against the 1975 Over All I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) Europe Champion PETER STACH again and reveived the title of the Over All Winner. The other Winners of the Categories were Czechoslovakians JOZEF GROLMUS, STEFAN JUST and IRZY MRACEK.

W.F.F. WORLD PRO CHAMPIONSHIPS IN PRAGUE.
BUDGET OF EACH CONTEST HALF A MILLION EURO.
Somehow life runs so quickly and many events and happenings are around us. Also in 2025. But let us remember Great Past about what other federations could dream only. We always were lacking time to tell this story thoroughly. Since 2006 until 2009 W.F.F. World Professional Championships were organized in Czech Republic. They were held in an island in the Prague Vlatava river at the barocco Zofin Palace. Budget of each championship was half a million euro of state money.
TIME PERIOD OF MARTIN KUTA.
EVEN ONE MAN CAN DO A LOT.
It seems that even one man can do a lot on International Level. A famous Czech businessman MARTIN KUTA was always a fan of fitness sport. In 2005 MARTIN KUTA  addressed the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS asking permeation to represent as the Chairman the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. Federation in Czech Republic and to organize annual W.F.F. Fitness Professional World Championship in Prague. From 1999 MARTIN KUTA used to organize a fitness competition in Prague, but this contest had no official International Contest Status.
The initiative of MARTIN KUTA  was supported by the Major of the City Prague and by one of the Czech Socialdemocratic Party Leaders PETR HULINSKI. The W.F.F. Pro World Championship Organizers took the responsibility to collect every year five hundred thousand Euro for the competition as the prize money for Pros, as the payment for luxurious transport, food and accommodation for the International Delegates. The W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International was responsible to collect the Best International Pro Fitness Competitors.
WHY W.F.F. CONTESTS WERE SO MUCH SUCESSFUL?
It was so original - W.F.F. World Championships were held in the Prague barocco style Zofin Palace which was placed in an island in Vltava river. Delegates and athletes were transported by luxurious limousines. Every time the Major City Prague was present at the event. Also famous Czech persons were present too. All basic televisions and newspapers covered the event. Every contest was crowned with the superious banquet for all VIP guests and participants. Many well known personalities worked at the competitions together with MARTIN KUTA and International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Among them was Europe Sport Leader PETER PAPULA (Austria). We would like to remind that in 1995 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, PETER PAPULA, German KLAUS P.J. HOFFMAN created the W.F.F. federation. Also World Legendary Bodybuilder PETR STACH and Professor KAREL TUCHACEK were always working at the contest. Representatives of the Czech I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation assisted in judging as well.
W.F.F. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PARTICIPANTS, EXCEPTIONAL PUBLIC AND AWARDS.
As it was agreed with MARTIN KUTA International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was collecting famous athletes to the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Prague. Famous International athletes from Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Iran, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, France, Serbia and Macedonia took part at the events. There were five categories at the contests - men and women aerobic fitness, men and women model fitness and “Fit -Kids”. Most memorable participants were LENKA BORUTOVA (Czechia), VIKTOR SARKO (Latvia), FEDIR CHASALOV (Ukraine), DANIEL MEDO (Slovakia), MARIETA ZIGALOVA (Slovakia), SILVIA MALACHOVSKA (Slovakia), EVA MARTINKOVA (Slovakia), RITA ELKSNINIA (Latvia), ZUZANA HORVATH (Hungary), ERSZEBET HERCZOG (Hungary).
Due to the fact that it was impossible to collect huge auditorium in Zofin Palace the public was not so much numerable. There were only superior known persons of the Czech Republic. At the same time the competitions got much publicity on all Czech television channels and in press. The W.F.F. Pro Worlds were covered in the pages of the International magazine “Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding” (“Sportinis fitnesas ir kultūrizmas”, «Спортивный фитнес и культуризм») which were in various languages published in Lithuania. Also W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International issued DVD’s. Magazines and DVD’s were presented free of charge at many most important sport events through the World.
At the opening ceremony of the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Zofin Palace participated decorative soldiers of the Roman Empire times. Plus to big money prizes competitors received valuable presents - pearls, free travel and stay in exotic places (for. Example at the Caribic Resorts).  Together wit the Mayor of Prague and MARTIN KUTA awards were presented by famous persons of the Czech Republic, for example at 2009 contest it was current “Miss Czechia” Winner.

2025. CZECH AND SLOVAK BODYBUILDING. ANALYTICAL REVUE.
WORLD BODYBUILDING REVUE. ARTICLE. THE START.
During the life nearly everybody somehow is connected with Bodybuilding and Fitness.
Being the World‘s Leader of the Official Sport of Bodybuilding and Fitness the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International Federation is working over the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ and prepares the historical Article - Revue of the World‘s Bodybuilding Sport.
The International Bodybuilding Organizations and the Countries that were and still are really important for the Official International Bodybuilding Sport will be covered in this Article. You know that many of so called „International Federations“ just fool the public as they are not official by the National and International Law and play no role for the Official Sport in real.
CZECH AND SLOVAK BODYBUILDING. ANALYTICAL REVUE.
Working on the above mentioned materials the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International prepares analytical revue of the bodybuilding sport in Czech and Slovak Republics. The revue includes the history of bodybuilding in both Countries (former Czechoslovakia), most important sportsmen and sport organizers of all times.
Few or us know that at the definite period of time Czechoslovakia bodybuilding has played such a very important role for the International Sport. We will cover the history and we will tell this story.
The similar historic revues are already done by us about the bodybuilding sport in USA, UK, France, Scandinavia Countries, Belgium, India, Iran, Argentina, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Estonia. Still remaining only a few Countries.
PERIODS OF BODYBUILDING IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
Last Century for a long time the World was divided by the „Iron Wall“ in two parts: the Socialist and the Capitalist. For political reasons the Bodybuilding Sport was prohibited and prosecuted in all Socialist Countries. Effected by the occasionally from the Western World received  Bodybuilding Magazines the Bodybuilding Sport in Socialist Countries went their own original way.
Quite a long time the only one traditional regular International Bodybuilding Contest of all the Socialist World was the famous historical „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis prizas“, „Янтарный приз“, 1968-2025). Today all know that during the long years of the Bodybuilding Sport prohibition and prosecution the „Amber Prix International“ was the unofficial Bodybuilding Championship of the U.S.S.R. (uniting 15 Country-members, the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics). Later on the U.S.S.R. Sport Ministry („Goskomsport“) officially accepted this fact and started presenting prestigious governmental „U.S.S.R. Sport Master“ degrees for the „Amber Prix International“ Champions. This way the „Amber Prix International“ became somehow equal to the official U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Championship. In real due to the number and the level of the participating Countries and Competitors the „Amber Prix International“ was the unofficial World Championship of the Socialist Countries.
Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding development as it was in all Socialist Countries can be divided in three periods:
- First period until 1975. Then due to the initiative of the President Czechoslovakia National Bodybuilding Federation VOTECH FIALA this Federation joined the International Sport Society and got political permeation to participate at the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) World and Europe Championships. For a long time Czechoslovakia was the only one Socialist Country which had this unique permeation. No one other Socialist Country could do the same for a long time.

- Second period until 1987, when Bodybuilding Sport was under severe prosecution in the Socialist Countries

- Third period after 1991, when the National Bodybuilding Organizations of all Socialist Countries felt real freedom to join the International Bodybuilding Sport Society.
We will speak about each period individually.
THE BEGINNING.
The history of the Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding starts in 1967. Then the first Czechoslovakia Bodybuilder JURAJ VISNY was known  after a number of his successful contests on International Level.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA MOVES AS A  ROCKET.
In 1975 for two months DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  was working in the capital city of Czechoslovakia Prague. Remember - it was the time when for political reasons Bodybuilding in all Socialist Countries was prohibited and prosecuted. Being afraid nobody of the Sport Leaders in the Socialist Countries dared to do anything to develop Bodybuilding (more information and documents about this are published in various languages in the International Magazines „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ («Спортивный фитнес и культуризм», “Sportinis fitnesas ir kultūrizmas”) and on the International Web Site www.wff.lt, read Articles on the main page and forum topics „World Bodybuilding History. How it was in real“ and „Various International Organizations“).
1975 was the unique year for Czechoslovakia bodybuilders. Then the  President Czechoslovakia National Bodybuilding Federation was VOJTECH FIALA.  Due to VOJTECH FIALA personal efforts and personal relations with the Government Czechoslovakia and a number of International Organizations Czechoslovakia Federation got the unique political permeation to participate at the Competitions of the „Western World“. That were the Contests organized by the Owner and the President of the I.F.B.B. BEN WEIDER. This was the unbelievable Winning among  all Socialist bodybuilders as for nearly two next decades no other National Federation af any Socialist Countries could participate in the „Western World“, but Czechoslovakia.
After meeting the President Czechoslovakia National Bodybuilding Federation VOJTECH FIALA  in 1975 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  had a chance to not only watch but even to participate at the very important International Bodybuilding Events as well. Then DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was invited as a VIP Guest to participate at two Meetings of the Czechoslovakia National Bodybuilding Federation Executive Council in Brno. Another Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding Leader Professor FRANTISEK BULVA  was present at the above mentioned meetings too. Among other questions the matter of the relations with the U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding was discussed over. In order to continue the relations the Executive Council appointed IVAN MACH to be responsible for the U.S.S.R. matters and affairs (later Ivan Mach became the President of the Czechoslovakia National Bodybuilding Federation).
Under the initiative of the President VOJTECH FIALA  DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS again as a VIP Guest attended the Government supported Camp of the National Bodybuilding Team of Czechoslovakia. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  personally met and spoke with the Czechoslovakia Team Leaders PETR STACH, PETR TLAPAK, ALOIS PEK  and a number of other Bodybuilders and National Trainers. In 1975 PETR STACH  was the first historical representative of the Socialist World who became Europe Bodybuilding Champion. Then in Sweden Czechoslovakia Bodybuilders was a shock for the „Western“ representatives as they demonstrated them a beautiful complex of individual routines. Until this routine compositions of the „Western“ Bodybuilders were plain and often primitive.
SOCIALIST COUNTRIES BODYBUILDING LITERATURE.
Through the time of the prohibition of bodybuilding sport in the Socialist Countries nobody even dreamed about the bodybuilding literature. The exception was in Czechoslovakia Bratislava issued  „Trener“ Magazine (in nineties a German D.D.R. Weight Lifting Magazine started to publish some information too). During this time DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  used to give articles and contest information for these Magazines. Also for BEN WEIDER‘S „Flex“ magazine. All magazines used to publish the DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS given materials. First of all it was information from the World‘s Oldest Traditional Bodybuilding Contest, the only one annual International Bodybuilding Event in all Socialist Counties, the „Amber Prix International“ (1968-2025). The Czechoslovakia „Trener“ Magazines were published by JOZEF MAZAK and later by MILAN PERDOCH.
ONE MORE STEP AGAINST COMMUNIST REGIME.
The first great victory against the political Communist Regime during the time of  prohibition and prosecution of bodybuilding sport in the Socialist Countries was achieved in 1977 by personal efforts and personal risk of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wrote a petition to defend prohibited bodybuilding. Then he went to Moscow and addressed the Communist Party headquarters and main U.S.S.R. newspapers. After a dialogue the U.S.S.R. political power gave DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  the unique exceptional permeation to organize annual bodybuilding  contest „Amber Prix International“ in Klaipeda, Lithuania.
That were the exact activities and actions of the President W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS which during his  Official Visit to the Vatican Administration were named by the Vatican Congregat Prefect J. Em. JOZEF KARDINAL TOMKO  as the „dissident“ actions against the political Communist Regime (2011).
For this work done the Vatican Congregat Prefect J. Em. JOZEF KARDINAL TOMKO presented the Vatican Pontific Medal (Medaglia Ufficiale di Pontificato di Sua Santita Benedetto XVI) to International President W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  (Headquarters State Vatican, Cita del Vaticano, March 29, 2011).
In 1977 already for the second time in a row DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  went to work in Czechoslovakia for two months again. After the first real political victory to organize „Amber Prix International“ was achieved,  DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS went to Prague with another unbelievable brave International idea that did not corresponded with the political Communist Regime politics again. During the time of bodybuilding prohibition DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS set a plan to organize International Bodybuilding Competition between U.S.S.R. and Czechoslovakia National Bodybuilding Teams. That was the unbelievable brave and fantastic idea. First the contest should be organized in Klaipeda (Lithuania) and after in Prague. The U.S.S.R. and Lithuania Official Sport Stuff did not support DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Even more, they wanted to stop and threatened him. But the big wish of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to do good for the bodybuilding sport was very big and he dared to go on.
Then in Prague were organized a number of mutual meetings of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  and the President Czechoslovakia National Bodybuilding Federation VOJTECH FIALA  and his assistant IVAN MACH. After this all of them met the Chairman of the Ministry Sport Czechoslovakia. During these meetings were set and spoken all details to fulfil the International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS idea.
It was very good that Czechoslovaks were positive towards DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS International plans as the Czechoslovakia bodybuilding was on the same way as the prohibited U.S.S.R. and Lithuania sport. All of us had to behave brave in order to get the positive results in standing against the bodybuilding sport enemies we had to use not standard methods.
Nobody of the Bodybuilding Sport Leaders believed in success, but DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  won again. It was the second time DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  managed to make the Political Communist Regime Officials (not the Official Sport officials who were afraid to move!!!) to believe of the necessity of the International Sport Cooperation between the Socialist Countries. In Bodybuilding as well. Especially it was about the Czechoslovakia Republic which was right after the 1968 unsuccessful  anti – Communist Revolution.  The politicians a little changed DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  plans and suggested to organize the first International Bodybuilding Event in Czechoslovakia Prague and only after this in Klaipeda. But that was not so important . We won again!
Step by step DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS received for all top U.S.S.R. Bodybuilders personal invitations to participate in Prague in 1978. During the years the best bodybuilders of the U.S.S.R. were the Lithuanian ones and that made DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  contest preparation work much easier. It seemed that it is the time to make the last finishing touches... Unfortunately some bad sides of the human being appeared – the envy. The U.S.S.R. and Lithuania Bodybuilding Leaders who were afraid to support DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  initiatives and works before, now they could not stand the success of the coming International Project. They wrote blackmailing letters to the Political Police. And their intrigues and activities ruined the plans and all the hard work done went to zero. Later on the same U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Officials many times did the same „devils“work  - they offended and blackmailed their colleagues. It had happened during the first visits of the Owner and the President of the I.F.B.B. Commercial Company BEN WEIDER to the U.S.S.R. (1974 and 1987). They organized International intrigues  about the Over All „Amber Prix International“ Champion OLEV ANNUS (Estonia, 1981). They organized International intrigues  about the Over All „Amber Prix International“ Champions ROLANDAS BUCINSKAS  and JURUJ GUSEV (Lithuania, 1980-1981). They organized International intrigues  about the Over All „Amber Prix International“ Champions VIKTORAS JUCYS  and SAULIUS MISEVICIUS (Lithuania, 1988). End a number of more similar facts...
COMMUNIST POWER LETS BODYBUILDING LIFE TO BE MORE EASY.
As we have written before, after DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS efforts for Bodybuilding Sport the „Iron Wall“ was broken and the sport life became more easy.  The constant relations between Socialist Countries started to be regular. Still only the Czechoslovakia bodybuilders used to participate at the „Western“ contests and this was a very important example for other Countries to follow. Anyway the Socialist Countries always did their best to organize their own International Bodybuilding Events. In the nineties of the last Century the best U.S.S.R. bodybuilders used to participate in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and German Democratic Republic (D.D.R.).
During this time a famous top level bodybuilding trainer LUDEK NOSEK  organized the  regular traditional International Bodybuilding „Sandow“ Competitions in Czechoslovakia Marianske Lazne resort. Later LUDEK NOSEK was the President of the National Bodybuilding Federation of Czechoslovakia. Appointed by the Ministry Sport Lithuania (Minister Sport ZIGMAS MOTIEKAITIS) DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  several times led the National Team Lithuania to the „Sandow“ Contest. Among the participants were the best Soviet time sportsmen „Amber Prix International“ champions ROLANDAS BUCINSKAS, ZIGMAS PRALGAUSKAS, RIMONTAS MAZIONIS  and SAULIUS MISEVICIUS. It used to be that  right after the Marianske Lazne „Sandow“ Contest a number of International Bodybuilding Events were organized in other Czechoslovakia places. And Lithuanians participated at those competitions too.
I.F.B.B. ANTIDEMOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP.
Supported by the Ministry of Sport of the Republic Lithuania DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS organized first Europe Championship in Lithuanian Klaipeda City in 1996. In Lithuania that was the first so high ranked International Bodybuilding Event ever. Also it was the first Official  International Event in Lithuania after the Country restored it‘s Independence in 1991. Then it was Czech organizer BOB DIVILEK who led the Czech National Team at this Event. Knowing so many years lasting DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS International work in Czechoslovakia, BOB DIVILEK invited Lithuania National Team to the International Bodybuilding Contest in the City of Zlin (1996).
DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS led the National Team to Czech that consisted of the National Champions ALGIRDAS KILCIAUSKAS, VYTAUTAS KINDURYS  and IDALIJA KAMINSKAITE. One of the Contest Judges at the Event was Professor KAREL TUCHACEK from Prague. Seeing the high status of the participating Lithuania Bodybuilders Professor KAREL TUCHACEK invited them to the soon coming International “Mega Pro” Contests in Prague and Brno Cities. Lithuanians agreed to remain staying in Czech and to continue participating further. Again among the numerous International participants Lithuanians took high places. Due to this the main “Mega Pro” Contest organizer and the former Europe Champion LIBOR MINARIK  invited Lithuania National Team to the same International Events in Prague and Brno  next year (1997).
After back from „Mega Pro“ Lithuania Bodybuilders became very famous as the Lithuania Press and the National Television made numerous reports about their wins. Unfortunately not everybody liked this success...
After  received the official Invitation Lithuania National Bodybuilding Team led by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS went to Czech Contests again in 1997. Right before Lithuanians went on the Contest stage the National I.F.B.B. Lithuania President called to the Czech Organizer LIBOR MINARIK  and insisted he will not let Lithuanians participate at these Events. His reason was that the Lithuanians were representing another sport Federation but not the I.F.B.B.. LIBOR MINARIK  told him that he invited his old friends to Czech Competitions and he see no reason to forbid them participating. Again in 1997 Lithuanians took high places among all International Competitors. But that was not the end. Envying the wins of their natives the Lithuania I.F.B.B. leaders wrote a letter to the Owner and the President of the I.F.B.B. Commercial Company BEN WEIDER (Canada). BEN WEIDER told the Czech I.F.B.B. representatives that if they will allow Lithuanians participating again the Czech National  Team will be suspended for a long time from all I.F.B.B. Contests. This was the last important Lithuania International Bodybuilding wins in Czech Republic. After this no other Lithuanian won any important International Event in Czech Competitions again.
TIME PERIOD OF MARTIN KUTA.
EVEN ONE MAN CAN DO A LOT.
It seems that even one man can do a lot on International Level. A famous Czech businessman MARTIN KUTA was always a fitness sport fan. In 2005 MARTIN KUTA  addressed the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS asking permeation to represent as the Chairman the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. Federation in Czech Republic and to organize annual W.F.F. Fitness Professional World Championship in Prague. From 1999 MARTIN KUTA used to organize a fitness competition in Prague, but this contest had no official International Contest Status.
The initiative of MARTIN KUTA  was supported by the Major of the City Prague and by one of the Czech Socialdemocratic Party Leaders PETR HULINSKI. The W.F.F. Pro World Championship Organizers took the responsibility to collect every year five hundred thousand Euro for the competition as the prize money for Pros, as the payment for luxurious transport, food and accommodation for the International Delegates. The W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International was responsible to collect the Best International Pro Fitness Competitors.
The common work started in 2006. Every year the Czech Organizers hired a famous historic barocco Zofrin Palace that was placed on the Vltava river island right in the centre of Prague City. The Major City Prague was personally present at every W.F.F. Pro Event and all possible Czech Media was televising and covering the World Championship  as well. Every Event was crowned by a superiors banquette where Czech VIP persons could communicate with the famous International Athletes direct.
At the W.F.F. contests in Prague worked a number of famous Czech bodybuilding personalities among which were PETR STACH  and Professor KAREL TUCHACEK.
Once it happened that a famous USA Pro Bodybuilder JUSTIN DEXTER after his win at the JOE WEIDER‘S „OLYMPIA“ was in Prague. Having no possibilities to honour the famous bodybuilder themselves the Czech I.F.B.B. Leaders asked the Czech National W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. President MARTIN KUTA  to help them and to let JUSTIN DEXTER  stay free at one of his hotels in Prague. The W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. President agreed to help another friendly Federation. Why not?
During the mentioned period of time MARTIN KUTA led the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Czech National Federation Delegates at the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International Events in Austria, Poland, Germany and Lithuania. MARTIN KUTA  was among the International Delegates at the Official Meeting at the Parliament Republic Lithuania (2007, 2008) and at the International Press Conference at the Lithuania News Agency „ELTA“ (2008).
The nice initiative stopped when in 2010 MARTIN KUTA went to constant work to the USA. Nobody else in Czech Republic could replace MARTIN KUTA to continue the International activities he started once before.

W.F.F. WORLD PRO CHAMPIONSHIPS IN PRAGUE.
BUDGET OF EACH CONTEST HALF A MILLION EURO.
Somehow life runs so quickly and many events and happenings are around us. Also in 2025. But let us remember Great Past about what other federations could dream only. We always were lacking time to tell this story thoroughly. Since 2006 until 2009 W.F.F. World Professional Championships were organized in Czech Republic. They were held in an island in the Prague Vlatava river at the barocco Zofin Palace. Budget of each championship was half a million euro of state money.
TIME PERIOD OF MARTIN KUTA.
EVEN ONE MAN CAN DO A LOT.
It seems that even one man can do a lot on International Level. A famous Czech businessman MARTIN KUTA was always a fan of fitness sport. In 2005 MARTIN KUTA  addressed the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS asking permeation to represent as the Chairman the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. Federation in Czech Republic and to organize annual W.F.F. Fitness Professional World Championship in Prague. From 1999 MARTIN KUTA used to organize a fitness competition in Prague, but this contest had no official International Contest Status.
The initiative of MARTIN KUTA  was supported by the Major of the City Prague and by one of the Czech Socialdemocratic Party Leaders PETR HULINSKI. The W.F.F. Pro World Championship Organizers took the responsibility to collect every year five hundred thousand Euro for the competition as the prize money for Pros, as the payment for luxurious transport, food and accommodation for the International Delegates. The W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International was responsible to collect the Best International Pro Fitness Competitors.
WHY W.F.F. CONTESTS WERE SO MUCH SUCESSFUL?
It was so original - W.F.F. World Championships were held in the Prague barocco style Zofin Palace which was placed in an island in Vltava river. Delegates and athletes were transported by luxurious limousines. Every time the Major City Prague was present at the event. Also famous Czech persons were present too. All basic televisions and newspapers covered the event. Every contest was crowned with the superious banquet for all VIP guests and participants. Many well known personalities worked at the competitions together with MARTIN KUTA and International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Among them was Europe Sport Leader PETER PAPULA (Austria). We would like to remind that in 1995 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, PETER PAPULA, German KLAUS P.J. HOFFMAN created the W.F.F. federation. Also World Legendary Bodybuilder PETR STACH and Professor KAREL TUCHACEK were always working at the contest. Representatives of the Czech I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation assisted in judging as well.
W.F.F. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PARTICIPANTS, EXCEPTIONAL PUBLIC AND AWARDS.
As it was agreed with MARTIN KUTA International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was collecting famous athletes to the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Prague. Famous International athletes from Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Iran, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, France, Serbia and Macedonia took part at the events. There were five categories at the contests - men and women aerobic fitness, men and women model fitness and “Fit -Kids”. Most memorable participants were LENKA BORUTOVA (Czechia), VIKTOR SARKO (Latvia), FEDIR CHASALOV (Ukraine), DANIEL MEDO (Slovakia), MARIETA ZIGALOVA (Slovakia), SILVIA MALACHOVSKA (Slovakia), EVA MARTINKOVA (Slovakia), RITA ELKSNINIA (Latvia), ZUZANA HORVATH (Hungary), ERSZEBET HERCZOG (Hungary).
Due to the fact that it was impossible to collect huge auditorium in Zofin Palace the public was not so much numerable. There were only superior known persons of the Czech Republic. At the same time the competitions got much publicity on all Czech television channels and in press. The W.F.F. Pro Worlds were covered in the pages of the International magazine “Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding” (“Sportinis fitnesas ir kultūrizmas”, «Спортивный фитнес и культуризм») which were in various languages published in Lithuania. Also W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International issued DVD’s. Magazines and DVD’s were presented free of charge at many most important sport events through the World.
At the opening ceremony of the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Zofin Palace participated decorative soldiers of the Roman Empire times. Plus to big money prizes competitors received valuable presents - pearls, free travel and stay in exotic places (for. Example at the Caribic Resorts).  Together wit the Mayor of Prague and MARTIN KUTA awards were presented by famous persons of the Czech Republic, for example at 2009 contest it was current “Miss Czechia” Winner.

GREAT NAMES OF N.A.B.B.A..
WHY N.A.B.B.A. LIES?
During the last time representatives of N.A.B.B.A. (Nationsl Amateur Body Building Association) often proudly mention “Great Names of N.A.B.B.A.”. Among them bodybuilders ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, BILL PEARL, STEVE REEVES, JOHN GRIMEK, SERGE NUBRET and many others. But this is not true - they are not N.A.B.B.A. representatives, they are just competitors of “N.A.B.B.A. Mr. Universe”. All “Great Names of N.A.B.B.A.” are also Great names of A.A.U. (Amateur Athletic Union), F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste), I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders), W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association), W.B.B.G. (World Body Building Guild). JOHN GRIMEK is not connected with N.A.B.B.A. at all. He is competitor of A.A.U. and F.I.H.C..
Athletes can not be “Great Names” of any bodybuilding organization. Only creators, chairmen and organizers are representing organization. N.A.B.B.A. had only one “Great Name” and it is OSCAR HEIDENSTAM - “The Crusader against the I.F.B.B.”. After OSCAR HEIDENSTAM not a single “N.A.B.B.A. Man” did anything noticable for International Sport.

2008 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
UNIQUE ORIGINAL COMPETITION.
In 2008 W.F.F. -W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Bodybuilding Federation)  World Championship was held in Bydgoszcz (Poland). The competition was organized by city Mecenat JERZY GOTOWSKI and city Vice Mayor KAZIMIERZ DROZD.
The preparation started one year before with huge confrontation with the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) Chairman of trainers PAVEL FILEBORN. Before the event eight various level press conferences and meetings were organized. Among them official meetings of the International President W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS with the Minister of Sport Republic Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT and Mayor City Bydgoszcz KONSTANTT DOMBROWICZ.
HIGH INTERNATIONAL AWARDS.
During the preparation of the World Championship a number of Officials of the Republic Poland were awarded with the  W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. “International Honour Silver Medal”. Among them Minister of Sport Republic Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT, Mecenat JERZY GOTOWSKI, Mayor City Bydgoszcz KONSTANTY DOMBROWICZ.
MINISTER SPORT POLAND. OFFICIAL VISIT.
As we mentioned above high I.F.B.B. Official POWEL FILEBORN in order to ruin the 2008 W.F.F. World Championship was writing public letters. To stop this process organizers of the World Championship addressed the Minister Sport Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT. W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Officials were invited to the Ministry of Sport in Warsaw where they met the Minister. During the meeting required juridic W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. and I.F.B.B. questions were spoken over. Supporting the W.F.F. World Championship ZBIGNIEW PACELT wrote official letter. This letter stopped all I.F.B.B. aggressiveness. We would like to remind that due to doping usage International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) refused to recognize I.F.B.B. federation and bodybuilding as sport. Also I.F.B.B. statements that W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International was not among W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency) members were stopped. At that time the National President of the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Poland was ANDRZEJ MACIEJEWSKI. For many years ANDRZEJ MACIEJEWSKI was the Vice President of the I.F.B.B. Poland. He collected materials from press accusing I.F.B.B. Official PAWEL FILEBORN being involved in doping business and corruption. Polish athletes accused PAWEL FILEBORN selling doping usage schemes for 1 000 USD and proposing to cancel doping disqualifications for 10 000 USD. For this reason PAWEL FILEBORN was for a long time in various courts. Doping business of PAWEL FILEBORN was in popular Polish newspapers - among them in “Zycie Warszawy”, “Wiadomosczy dnia”, “Interia.pl”, “Kulturystyka” and others. By the way, after this doping scandals PAWEL FILEBORN was several times in Lithuania. There at I.F.B.B. seminars he thought Lithuanians about his personal ptactice and knowledge.

NEWS INTERNATIONAL.
FALL OF BODYBUILDING.
Working since 1968 W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International unites today members from 141 Countries. Some time ago Bahrain joined the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. .In difference to other International Bodybuilding Structures under the leadership of W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International seeks recognition of the U.N. (United Nations), I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee) and W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency). W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. knows the way to reach these goals. Under the basis of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. the International Sport University (I.S.U.) was created in 2015. Since 2017 the I.S.U. university is an associated member of the U.N.E.S.C.O. organization which works under the U.N..
OTHER INTERNATIONAL BODYBUILDING ORGANIZATIONS.
We will not speak about other federations. Concerning real recognized sport their activities are of zero value. Zero... We mean real SPORT and nothing else. Every day appear some new „international federations“... They have never been in real recognized sport and they will never be there. What are the „great“ aims of these federations? Can anybody say? Why these federations live and what they want?
If You want official bodybuilding sport – there was F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) which ruled official bodybuilding sport in the World. Since 1947 until 1969 due to efforts of American BOB HOFFMAN (Robert Collins Hoffman, 1898 - 1985) through the F.I.H.C. federation bodybuilding was an officially recognized sport and it was very close to be Olympic. Since 1971 until 1998 F.I.H.C. was replaced by the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders). If You want real big not recognized anytime anywhere muscle battle – since 1950 You have N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association). What else a bodybuilder could dream of? Why appeared so many „mickey – mouse“ federations? Let us take as an example Lithuanian Republic. There are representatives of several „mickey – mouse“ federations. They make various festivals and they are proud of this. Where it could lead? To the festivals in other countries? Are they participant bodybuilders or they are „singers and dancers“ of the „song and dance festivals“? What is the official status of these federations? What is official status of their festivals? Really it is not sport.
For example, let us speak of last forty years of the Independent Lithuania Republic. What are the Great Bodybuilding Names of that period? That are the only ones – I.F.B.B. Over All World Champions NATALIJA MURNIKOVIENE, ROLANDAS BUCINSKAS, ROLANDAS POCIUS and OLEG ZUR. Disaster came to this sport when twenty years ago WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN left bodybuilding. All contemporary „World Champions“ can not be compared to any of the mentioned bodybuilders. During the „Weider times“ bodybuilding was sport since 1971 until 1998. It was recognized sport. Now – not! Sport is finished for all times. The above mentioned Lithuanian bodybuilders were representing sport and their achievements were official. Today’s I.F.B.B. “world champions” are of zero value if we speak about sport. The aim of contemporary National I.F.B.B. federation is to go on fooling Ministry of Sport of Lithuania and this way go on receiving governmental money for their activities. And their activities according the I.O.C. official statement already long ago are not sport anymore. Nobody knows the names of today’s “world champions”. Nobody even tries to know. 
SHORT HISTORY OF WORLD’S OFFICIAL BODYBUILDING SPORT.
F. I.H.C. was a member of the I.O.C. and it influenced the „U.S.S.R. Sport Ministry“ («Министерство спорта С.С.С.Р.») to set the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation“ (Comission, «Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») in 1963. The federation was set at the „U.S.S.R. Weightlifting Federation“ («Федерация тяжёлой атлетики С.С.С.Р.»). After 1973 bodybuilding prohibition in the U.S.S.R. and Socialist Countries bodybuilding was prosecuted for twenty years. During this time in the „Western World“ official recognized bodybuilding sport was led by the I.F.B.B. and not recognized bodybuilding activities were ruled by N.A.B.B.A.. at the same time in the Socialist World public U.S.S.R. bodybuilding lived and survived in the Estonian SSR only through „Georg Tenno Memorial“ («Мемориал Георга Тенно», 1971 - 2024) contest organized by INNAR MARDO (Иннар Мардо, 1945 – 2002) and in the Lithuanian SSR only through the „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinio prizo“ «Янтарный приз», 1968 - 2025) organized by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. During the prohibition years for political reasons it was not possible to set any International Bodybuilding Organization in the U.S.S.R.. Nevertheless DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS initiated official registration of „Klaipeda Bodybuilding Federation“ („Klaipėdos kultūrizmo federacija“, «Федерация культуризма г. Клайпеда»). It was registered at the governmental „Klaipeda Sport Committee“ („Kūno kultūros ir sporto komitetas“, «Комитет физкультуры и спорта г. Клайпеда»). In all U.S.S.R bodybuilding was prohibited and at the same time in Klaipeda bodybuilding was allowed. For many years „Klaipeda Bodybuilding Federation“ was the only one officially registered bodybuilding federation in the U.S.S.R.. This was the reason that all World‘s Bodybuilding leaders were in touch and correspondence with DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. That were I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER, N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association) Chairman OSCAR HEIDENSTAM and W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association) President SERGE NUBRET. Detailed articles on the topic are at the International Page www.wff.lt .
In 1970 F.I.H.C. General Secretary British OSCAR STATE created the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) sport federation in Belgrade (Yugoslavia). Until 1970 I.F.B.B. was just a private commercial company, not sport federation. In 1971 again OSCAR STATE opened doors of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations)  to the I.F.B.B.. This way from and after the F.I.H.C. the I.F.B.B. took ruling leadership of the International official sport of bodybuilding. International sport was in shock. Soon in the USA was organized the A.A.U. International Council to stop I.F.B.B. membership in G.A.I.S.F.. I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER was present there. He was ready to join the A.A.U. with his new I.F.B.B.. The delegates did not listen to BEN WEIDER and voted not to let him to speak.
Fall of bodybuilding sport started in 1998 when after two years trial I.O.C. refused to recognize the I.F.B.B. federation and bodybuilding sport in general.  Bodybuilding was thrown out of the officially recognized sports. Seeing no future WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN sold the I.F.B.B. federation, „Olympia“ contest and all their magazines. In 2008 I.F.B.B. split. I.F.B.B. Vice President PAUL CHUA (Singapore) left the I.F.B.B. of RAFAEL SANTONJA. PAUL CHUA took forty Asia Countries with him. Then PAUL CHUA and the Lower and financist of I.F.B.B. ALEX BAUER published I.F.B.B. juridical and finance documents. There was a big scandal about it. PAUL CHUA and RAFAEL SANTONJA met at International Court of London (UK) where RAFAEL SANTAONJA lost the case. In 2015 I.F.B.B. split again. During N.P.C. (National Physique Committee) professional contest I.F.B.B. President RAFAEL SANTONJA was offended and left America with tears. After this he never came to America again. So after 2015 N.P.C. of JIM MANION came to International Bodybuilding Stage. Since that time because of fierce fight between RAFAEL SANTONJA and JIM MANION bodybuilding sport was finished in total. There is no sport of bodybuilding today any more. Along to this the I.F.B.B. commercial company still goes on working. Nobody is interested in sport – only money... In 2023 G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) was closed and I.F.B.B. lost it‘s last formal officiality. For many years I.F.B.B. propaganda was based only on G.A.I.S.F.. In 2023 W.A.D.A. declared stopping work with I.F.B.B..
Those who are interested in real World bodybuilding history can read in various languages historic articles on International Page www.wff.lt .
I.F.B.B. FINANCES.
During the times of WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN the I.F.B.B. was seeking Olympic (I.O.C.) recognition. The game of money flows between the I.F.B.B. sport federation and the I.F.B.B. commercial company was active. Now this game is not needed any more when bodybuilding is no more recognized sport. The I.F.B.B. crisis of 1990 was gone when many Socialist Countries joined the I.F.B.B.. It was not an ordinary joining. Socialist Countries came with governmental money. During all history of bodybuilding Ministries of Sport of any democratic country never supported financially bodybuilding. The exception was when World‘s bodybuilding sport was led by the F.I.H.C. federation which was I.O.C. member. Another case was when the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation“( «Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») was set in 1987. Then bodybuilding sport got governmental recognition and governmental money. All other Socialist Countries did the same. Even now when bodybuilding is not sport any more former Socialist Countries use to finance national bodybuilding federations with governmental money. Except this - governmental money still comes to the I.F.B.B. through Asia Countries. Basic reason is that from the old F.I.H.C. times Asia bodybuilding federations are under national weightlifting federations which are I.O.C. members. Only this. There are no more sources of governmental money in the I.F.B.B.. We are sure that when National Sport Ministries will learn the truth about the I.F.B.B. the governmental financing will be stopped. During the last years on national governmental money I.F.B.B. makes comedy „world championships“, like it was in Latvia and Lithuania. Also remember big scandal about the I.F.B.B. Asia Championship in India with 5-6 Countries participating... Some time ago a big scandal was in Ukraine. The Ukraine I.F.B.B. President IGOR DELIJEV (Делиев Игорь) disappeared with five hundred thousand US dollars governmental bodybuilding support. Also let us remember big scandals with the RAFAEL SANTONJA‘s assistant Polish PAWEL FILEBORN.
COLUMBUS IS BACK.
Under the leadership of JIM MANION in 1983 some A.A.U. bodybuilders left the organization. For long years A.A.U. was supported by the USA Sport Ministry and the USA Olympic Committee. In 1983 JIM MANION set his private company N.P.C.. Until that time there was a fierce fight between I.F.B.B. and A.A.U.. In 1983 I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER and the owner of the new N.P.C. JIM MANION agreed to divide the bodybuilding world. It was like 1939 agreement between ADOLF HITLER and Communist STALIN. Amateur bodybuilding in the USA went to JIM MANION, the rest of the World went to the G.A.I.S.F. member I.F.B.B. of BEN WEIDER. Professional bodybuilding as a private commercial activity went to JOE WEIDER. He continued his private “Olympia” competition which always had nothing to do with official recognized bodybuilding sport. That was the game of  WEIDER brothers. JIM MANION kept his promise and never touched any questions of his agreement with BEN WEIDER. When WEIDER brothers left bodybuilding and passed away JIM MANION changed his mind. In 2015 during a professional contest in the USA I.F.B.B. President RAFAEL SANTONJA was offended and left America forever. So aiming to finish the I.F.B.B. of RAFAEL SANTONJA now N.P.C. goes aggressively through the World.
Today the I.F.B.B. and N.P.C. make many festivals around the World. Yes, festivals, not competitions. Sport is finished and forgotten. N.P.C. play games with „Olympia“ festivals  and I.F.B.B. play with „Arnold Classic“ festivals. RAFAEL SANTONJA is hiding behind the name of ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER. These festivals have nothing connected with real recognized sport. We can say they are like “festivals of dancers and singers” but not sport. Fine – if bodybuilders like it. No International Official Sport Organizations see there any sport. No serious Institutions of any Country recognize them as sport. Long ago CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS  came to America and used to change various worthless things to real gold with local Indians. Now the N.P.C. and I.F.B.B. festival organizers do the same. Bodybuilders are fooled. They forgot the sport and started being “singers” and “dancers”…
OUTSTANDING SOVIET BODYBUILDING THEORETICS AND PRACTICS.
Analyzing today‘s situation we can underline that the officially recognized „Socialist“ bodybuilding of eighties of the last Century was very close to the International Sport Standards and it could lead bodybuilding even to Olympics. Then bodybuilders thought, made decisions and saw real goals of the future. The movement was based on the theoretical and practical works of the leaders of famous „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ («Вильнюсская школа культуризма», “Vilniaus kultūrizmo mokykla”) CESLAV TAMULEVIC (Чеслав Тамулевич) and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ (Виталий Асовский). At that time contest halls were full of spectators. Now nobody goes to watch bodybuilding competitions – they are boring and not interesting. Contemporary bodybuilders can only dream about normal relations with society. Comparing with that mentioned above time even today bodybuilding is at the very primitive level. Joining the „Western“ bodybuilding  „Socialist“ bodybuilding lost it‘s identity and nice future and it was eaten by „West“ organizers.
We do not say that bodybuilders are stupid. Bodybuilders do not think and do not see the essence. Look around and start thinking!

WORLD FITNESS FEDERATION.
WE CREATE FIRST NON DOPING FEDERATION.
In 1998 International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) threw away I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation. Since that time bodybuilding is no more recognized sport. The exception is only former Communist Countries and some Asia organizations. They still finance I.F.B.B. federation. All other multiple bodybuilding federations have nothing to do with sport. This way they fool athletes.
But bodybuilders do not disappear. International bodybuilding will be led by the W.B.B.F. (World Body Building Federation).
Declaring fitness as being totally without doping we go another way. The World Fitness Federation (W.F.F., W.F.F. - International) it’s activities started with the historic “Amber Prix International” (“Gintarinis prizas”) contest in 1968. For many decades fitness was understood as a part of bodybuilding. Now it is time to separate them and we will do it. Basing on the sixty years of our work we start totally new fitness concept. We seek to make fitness an officially recognized sport. We aim to be Olympic too. You can learn International fitness sport history on Global Site  www.wff.lt .

W.F.F. WORLD PRO CHAMPIONSHIPS IN PRAGUE.
BUDGET OF EACH CONTEST HALF A MILLION EURO.
Somehow life runs so quickly and many events and happenings are around us. Also in 2025. But let us remember Great Past about what other federations could dream only. We always were lacking time to tell this story thoroughly. Since 2006 until 2009 W.F.F. World Professional Championships were organized in Czech Republic. They were held in an island in the Prague Vlatava river at the barocco Zofin Palace. Budget of each championship was half a million euro of state money.
TIME PERIOD OF MARTIN KUTA.
EVEN ONE MAN CAN DO A LOT.
It seems that even one man can do a lot on International Level. A famous Czech businessman MARTIN KUTA was always a fan of fitness sport. In 2005 MARTIN KUTA  addressed the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS asking permeation to represent as the Chairman the W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. Federation in Czech Republic and to organize annual W.F.F. Fitness Professional World Championship in Prague. From 1999 MARTIN KUTA used to organize a fitness competition in Prague, but this contest had no official International Contest Status.
The initiative of MARTIN KUTA  was supported by the Major of the City Prague and by one of the Czech Socialdemocratic Party Leaders PETR HULINSKI. The W.F.F. Pro World Championship Organizers took the responsibility to collect every year five hundred thousand Euro for the competition as the prize money for Pros, as the payment for luxurious transport, food and accommodation for the International Delegates. The W.F.F.-W.B.B.F. International was responsible to collect the Best International Pro Fitness Competitors.
WHY W.F.F. CONTESTS WERE SO MUCH SUCESSFUL?
It was so original - W.F.F. World Championships were held in the Prague barocco style Zofin Palace which was placed in an island in Vltava river. Delegates and athletes were transported by luxurious limousines. Every time the Major City Prague was present at the event. Also famous Czech persons were present too. All basic televisions and newspapers covered the event. Every contest was crowned with the superious banquet for all VIP guests and participants. Many well known personalities worked at the competitions together with MARTIN KUTA and International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Among them was Europe Sport Leader PETER PAPULA (Austria). We would like to remind that in 1995 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, PETER PAPULA, German KLAUS P.J. HOFFMAN created the W.F.F. federation. Also World Legendary Bodybuilder PETR STACH and Professor KAREL TUCHACEK were always working at the contest. Representatives of the Czech I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation assisted in judging as well.
W.F.F. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PARTICIPANTS, EXCEPTIONAL PUBLIC AND AWARDS.
As it was agreed with MARTIN KUTA International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was collecting famous athletes to the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Prague. Famous International athletes from Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Iran, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, France, Serbia and Macedonia took part at the events. There were five categories at the contests - men and women aerobic fitness, men and women model fitness and “Fit -Kids”. Most memorable participants were LENKA BORUTOVA (Czechia), VIKTOR SARKO (Latvia), FEDIR CHASALOV (Ukraine), DANIEL MEDO (Slovakia), MARIETA ZIGALOVA (Slovakia), SILVIA MALACHOVSKA (Slovakia), EVA MARTINKOVA (Slovakia), RITA ELKSNINIA (Latvia), ZUZANA HORVATH (Hungary), ERSZEBET HERCZOG (Hungary).
Due to the fact that it was impossible to collect huge auditorium in Zofin Palace the public was not so much numerable. There were only superior known persons of the Czech Republic. At the same time the competitions got much publicity on all Czech television channels and in press. The W.F.F. Pro Worlds were covered in the pages of the International magazine “Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding” (“Sportinis fitnesas ir kultūrizmas”, «Спортивный фитнес и культуризм») which were in various languages published in Lithuania. Also W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International issued DVD’s. Magazines and DVD’s were presented free of charge at many most important sport events through the World.
At the opening ceremony of the W.F.F. Pro World Championships in Zofin Palace participated decorative soldiers of the Roman Empire times. Plus to big money prizes competitors received valuable presents - pearls, free travel and stay in exotic places (for. Example at the Caribic Resorts).  Together wit the Mayor of Prague and MARTIN KUTA awards were presented by famous persons of the Czech Republic, for example at 2009 contest it was current “Miss Czechia” Winner.

WORLD FITNESS FEDERATION.
WE CREATE FIRST NON DOPING FEDERATION.
In 1998 International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) threw away I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation. Since that time bodybuilding is no more recognized sport. The exception is only former Communist Countries and some Asia organizations. They still finance I.F.B.B. federation. All other multiple bodybuilding federations have nothing to do with sport. This way they fool athletes.
But bodybuilders do not disappear. International bodybuilding will be led by the W.B.B.F. (World Body Building Federation).
Declaring fitness as being totally without doping we go another way. The World Fitness Federation (W.F.F., W.F.F. - International) it’s activities started with the historic “Amber Prix International” (“Gintarinis prizas”) contest in 1968. For many decades fitness was understood as a part of bodybuilding. Now it is time to separate them and we will do it. Basing on the sixty years of our work we start totally new fitness concept. We seek to make fitness an officially recognized sport. We aim to be Olympic too. You can learn International fitness sport history on Global Site  www.wff.lt .

2008 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
UNIQUE ORIGINAL COMPETITION.
In 2008 W.F.F. -W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Bodybuilding Federation)  World Championship was held in Bydgoszcz (Poland). The competition was organized by city Mecenat JERZY GOTOWSKI and city Vice Mayor KAZIMIERZ DROZD.
The preparation started one year before with huge confrontation with the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) Chairman of trainers PAVEL FILEBORN. Before the event eight various level press conferences and meetings were organized. Among them official meetings of the International President W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS with the Minister of Sport Republic Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT and Mayor City Bydgoszcz KONSTANTT DOMBROWICZ.
HIGH INTERNATIONAL AWARDS.
During the preparation of the World Championship a number of Officials of the Republic Poland were awarded with the  W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. “International Honour Silver Medal”. Among them Minister of Sport Republic Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT, Mecenat JERZY GOTOWSKI, Mayor City Bydgoszcz KONSTANTY DOMBROWICZ.
MINISTER SPORT POLAND. OFFICIAL VISIT.
As we mentioned above high I.F.B.B. Official POWEL FILEBORN in order to ruin the 2008 W.F.F. World Championship was writing public letters. To stop this process organizers of the World Championship addressed the Minister Sport Poland ZBIGNIEW PACELT. W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Officials were invited to the Ministry of Sport in Warsaw where they met the Minister. During the meeting required juridic W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. and I.F.B.B. questions were spoken over. Supporting the W.F.F. World Championship ZBIGNIEW PACELT wrote official letter. This letter stopped all I.F.B.B. aggressiveness. We would like to remind that due to doping usage International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) refused to recognize I.F.B.B. federation and bodybuilding as sport. Also I.F.B.B. statements that W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International was not among W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency) members were stopped. At that time the National President of the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. Poland was ANDRZEJ MACIEJEWSKI. For many years ANDRZEJ MACIEJEWSKI was the Vice President of the I.F.B.B. Poland. He collected materials from press accusing I.F.B.B. Official PAWEL FILEBORN being involved in doping business and corruption. Polish athletes accused PAWEL FILEBORN selling doping usage schemes for 1 000 USD and proposing to cancel doping disqualifications for 10 000 USD. For this reason PAWEL FILEBORN was for a long time in various courts. Doping business of PAWEL FILEBORN was in popular Polish newspapers - among them in “Zycie Warszawy”, “Wiadomosczy dnia”, “Interia.pl”, “Kulturystyka” and others. By the way, after this doping scandals PAWEL FILEBORN was several times in Lithuania. There at I.F.B.B. seminars he thought Lithuanians about his personal ptactice and knowledge.
INTERNATIONAL JUDGES AND ORGANIZERS International Judges and Organizers from Argentina, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany, Serbia, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Cyprus, Belarus, Denmark, Ukraine, Hungary, Croatia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzogovina participated at the event.

IS AUSTRALIA COUNTRY OF LIERS?
GRAEME LANCEFIELD FOLLOWS JOE LOPEZ.
A number of years we are writing about lies of Australian GRAEME LANCEFIELD towards World Fitness Federation (W.F.F - International). Now he did it again advertising his 2025 «ASIA PACIFIC CHAMPIONSHIP» (See Picture).
Some time ago another Australian JOE LOPEZ did the same about N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association) association.
N.A.B.B.A. WAS SPLIT. TWO N.A.B.B.A. ORGANIZATIONS.
Ending the last Century Australian JOE LOPEZ was very active among N.A.B.B.A.  leaders. He wanted to be the only one N.A.B.B.A. Chairman and often was in conflict with KLAUS P.J. HOFFMANN and IVAN DUNBAR. 1999 N.A.B.B.A. World Championship was organized in Austria. At the same time N.A.B.B.A. Congress was held too. Plus to tension between three N.A.B.B.A. Chairmen one more dirty happening happened. N.A.B.B.A. financist TONY SULLYVAN disappeared with N.A.B.B.A. money. KLAUS P.J. HOFFMANN and IVAN DUNBAR did not want to speak about the N.A.B.B.A. problems and asked DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to do it. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS often used to make hours long speeches at N.A.B.B.A. congresses so hi did it again this time too. After it big mess started at the congress. JOE LOPEZ informed that the leaves N.A.B.B.A. with a number of countries and creates his own “N.A.B.B.A. International”. This way several years in a row JOE LOPEZ organized his own N.A.B.B.A. “Mr. Universe” contests in Spain. It did not last long as soon JOE LOPEZ was accused with smuggling narcotics and went to prison. This way history of “N.A.B.B.A. - International” was very short.
FULL ARTICLES ON N.A.B.B.A. and W.F.F. are published on International Site www.wff.lt
In 2025 GRAEME LANCEFIELD organized his competition in Malaysia and again to fool athletes he used the History of our federation.
N.A.B.B.A. THREW AWAY GRAEME LANCEFIELD AFTER HIS LIES.
REAL W.F.F. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GRAEME LANCEFIELD.
REAL W.F.F. INVITES FOOLED BY LANCEFIELD NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.
Some time ago the International W.F.F – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with the Officials of N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association) International again. International President of N.A.B.B.A. EDDY ELWOOD  addresses bodybuilders not to be fooled by misinformation of GRAEME LANCEFIELD. A number of National Presidents of the organization of GRAEME LANCEFIELD  are upset that they were fooled for the last several years.
GRAEME LANCEFIELD SURPRISES THE BODYBUILDING WORLD.
On January 1 and January 3, 2020 the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International Headquarters received several letters and calls  from a famous UK Bodybuilder and a N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Assocoation)  Chairman EDDY ELWOOD.
EDDY ELWOOD is angry about the unintelligent behavior of GRAEME LANCEFIELD. EDDY insists that GRAEME LANCEFIELD must stop telling lies about his connections with N.A.B.B.A. as he has nothing to do with this great organization. GRAEME LANCEFIELD’S lies about N.A.B.B.A.  and W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. history are terrible.
«Hi, Edmundas,
as you know Graeme Lancefield is in competition with your own WFF. I want the truth be known. Daniel his son is claiming the WFF history as theirs. And I know the history you told me is yours from a show called the Amber Prix. Would you mind if you would Please Comment on my post saying you run the WFF and the 1968 history Graeme Lancefield and his WFF have stolen off you and is in fact history from a show you have ran since 1968 called the Amber prix and WFF was formed in the mid 90s with yourself and Klaus Hoffman This will clarify the birth of the WFF and help us both.
Thank you,
Eddy Ellwood»

“Hi Edmundas,
NEWS from the original Nabba since 1950.
NABBA and WFF.
After seeing a post from Nabba India incorporating myself in a joint NABBA/WFF (Lancefield) promotion and other posts with fabricated history on!
It was necessary to post the following to show NABBAs stance with the WFF!
It was discussed at the NABBA Universe congress that NABBA has never had any affiliation with WFF (Lancefield).
NABBA is a lone non profit making amateur organisation,with democracy and a committee that decides any change democratically, we make decisions as a committee and an amalgamation of the two organisations was never voted on or approved.
Nabba has always stood alone.
The WFF (Lancefield)  and it’s fake fabricated history of 1968,was set up to organise fitness classes it has no democratic committee, their decisions are made by its President The organisation was set up by Klaus Hoffman and Edmundas Daubaras, in 1995 and not 1968 which is the fake history seen on Wikipedia without any history, it is actually stolen without permission from its organiser Edmundas Daubaras, a competition called the Amber Prix which dates back to 1968 and belongs to Edmundas! Not WFFs history?
Eventually Edmundas and Klause parted ways and if you are bothered to research it, there’s now two WFF federations,neither of which supports the other, one belonging to Edmundas,the other to Graeme Lancefield, who eventually took over from Klaus Hoffman in 2013. Graeme used his NABBA status to influence and join all NABBA countries to WFF (Lancefield)  and eventually without democracy joined it to the Nabba name , no votes were ever taken.and I have the evidence of the true history if anyone cares to see it ! When the reigns of the Nabba Presidency were handed to me, It was my duty to the members to be loyal to Nabba and assist its members to do my best for its future and remain one of the best, certainly the most historic,authentic and oldest bodybuilding federation in the world!
Without prejudice and from what I see and now know about the WFF (Lancefield), I rightly started asking questions, about the authenticity of the WF F(Lancefield)  and its 1968 history! Nabba is transparent and does not fabricate, invent,make up lies or dictate to its members, we do not support the way in which the WFF (Lancefield)  is managed! We at the original NABBA are all in agreement and we have asked for all Nabba countries to remove the Nabba name and logo from any WFF promotion! So please do not use my photo alongside any WFF (Lancefield)  promotions and please respect our decision to stand alone!
We have no problem in countries wanting to stay affiliated to both federations, but it has to be done separately.
NABBA and its members stand alone!
This is a true and accurate statement,and has the support of the Original Nabba since 1950
However any country representatives running both federations, we ask that nabba receives the same equal commitment, or somewhere close to the same support at international events.
Eddy Ellwood
Nabba international president”
LIES ABOUT W.F.F. HISTORY AND USING OUR PATENTED NAMES WILL LEAD GRAEME LANCEFIELD AND HIS ASSISTANTS TO COURT.
Working from 1968, today W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International is evident International Bodybuilding Leader. We mean real sport, not „festivals“. The W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. unites National Organizations from 140 Countries, that represent all Continents. Every year W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. organizes 60 International Events in various Countries. W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International Work is seen by various International Institutions. During the activities the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International  received State Awards from Governments of various Countries. State Vatican as well (2011).
At the 49-th „Amber Prix International“ (2016) among present several Members of the Parliament Republic Lithuania the Official Representative of the Prime Minister Republic Lithuania ANTANAS VINKUS announced the congratulating words to the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International and named the International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS being „the Embassador Republic Lithuania in the World Countries“.
In 2016 W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International initiated registration of  the International Sport University (I.S.U.). In 2012 the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. in various languages started unique global work – the World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia. The Encyclopedia covers information from 1898 until now and reflects the history and statistics of all traditional International Federations and important International Sportsmen and Organizers.
WEAK PERSONS ARE TO LEAVE W.F.F. – W.B.B.F..
We will not go into details of the W.F.F. history. We has spoken about it widelly before. During the fivety years of the International work the W.F.F. left a number of false persons. Some of them were from Lithuania and twenty years ago they had to leave the W.F.F. - International due to the intriques and jealousy. Then they unsuccessfully tried to work with I.F.B.B. Lithuania and after joined the Intternational Federation of Homosexual Bodybuilders. Some of them were from Latvia and ten years ago they had to leave the W.F.F. - International when being drunk during the W.F.F. contest in front of the Major City Prague (Czech) behaved awfully and made problems for the W.F.F. federation. Also the Latvians was the reason when a number of athletes had to go to hospital under surgery operation due the false „supplements“ the mentioned Latvians were producing and selling to the sportsmen (we have documents about this). These presonalities never did any strategic International work, they have never did anything sufficient Internationally during their lives. They were only the observers to the Global historic work that was done by other persons. It seems like a humour when now these persons try to make false W.F.F. - International history and try to present it in public.
GRAEME LANCEFIELD TELLS AWFULL LIES.
We have been publishing many times the history of the W.F.F. - International and W.B.B. F. - International federations.
As organizer and official Graeme Laqnciefield  is only several years in International Sport. We know, that Graeme Lancefield does not know many historical things of our sport. Basing on the false public information of Graeme Laqnciefield today a number of persons republish false materials of Graeme Lanciefield.
Does Graeme Lanciefield know what is it „1968“???
Does Graeme Lanciefield ever heard of the W.F.F. federation in Germany before 1996???
Does Graeme Lanciefield know that «his W.F.F.“ egzisted in Germany only from 2005 until 2013?
We think that for publishing false information Graeme Lancefield could stand in front of Court one day. Court of any Country will find the truth easy and the liar will be punnished according the Law.
LIES ABOUT W.F.F. HISTORY AND USING OUR PATENTED NAMES WILL LEAD GRAEME LANCEFIELD AND HIS ASSISTANTS TO COURT.
It is already some time when the mentioned telltalers and loosers try to make false W.F.F. - International history. They try to use illegally our patented names like W.F.F., World Fitness Federation, „Amber Prix International“, etc. Some years ago they did it too, but then we warned them about our addressing to the Court to clear the matter then they appologized in public about their illegal actions.
Gaeme Lancefield plans some contests in Lithuania and other countries in 2017. Using our patented names will lead Graeme Lancefield and his assistants to Court. Maybe through this Civil Court Prosecution Graeme Lancefield wants to sponsor the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. Federation???
KNOWN INTERNATIONAL BODYBUILDING PERSONS SAY THAT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT W.F.F..
Here we present some sayings about the W.F.F. of a number of Internationally well known Bodybuilding Presons.
1. KLAUS P.J.HOFFMANN (in 1995 KLAUS P.J.HOFFMANN  together with DSC. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  established the W.F.F. - International):
„You are one of the most interesting and intelligent personalities I learned to know in my life...
That‘s You!
I never gave compliments normally but You are a great fighter for You, Your family, ideas for Lithuania and maybe Europe“ (the original letter of 2004 is attached to this article).
2. EDDIE ROBINSON (contemporary President N.A.B.B.A. – W.F.F. USA, famous USA Pro Bodybuilder):
„Thank you Mr. DSc Edmundas Daubaras truth needs to be known!! We all know you are WFF!! And are sick of all the fabricated lie bull shit!!“.
„Wishing you continued success WFF Mr. DSc Edmundas Daubaras International President“.
„Much Respect to you Mr. DSc Edmundas Daubaras as I wish you nothing but The Best! Thank you for confirming the truth as the information was taken of your WFF International page per the true history of facts per the WFF, Amber Prix, Figure World Grand Prix and the forming of WFF Project“.
Today GRAEME LANCEFIELD goes on telling lies:
https://wff-international.com/about/history
„The World Fitness Federation (WFF) was formed in 1968 by Klaus Hoffmann in Lahnau, Germany.
Throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s the WFF’s primary activities were centred around Northern and Eastern Europe. The change in political borders in the early 1990’s following the collapse of the Soviet Union allowed for the WFF to spread further. Throughout the late 1990’s and early 2000’s the WFF linked with bodybuilding and fitness organisations around the world, most notably the National Amateur Body-Builders’ Association (NABBA).
Following his election as the NABBA International President in 2009, Graeme Lancefield maintained strong ties with Hoffmann and the WFF.
In 2013, following more than forty years of dedicated service, Hoffmann passed the baton onto Graeme Lancefield to lead WFF into the next generation.
Today the WFF global community stretches from Europe, to Australasia, South and North America, and into Africa, with more than 70 affiliated countries on every continent, it has truly become the embodiment of its name“.

SOMETIMES CONTESTS HAVE INTERESTING DETAILS.
MOTORCYCLES AND CARS FOR OVER ALL WINNERS.
W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation)  organized several Asia Championships, Universe“ and „World Grand Prix“ competitions in India. International Vice President Professor LALIT KUMAR SONI presented golden rings and motorcycles for the Champions. Once the Champion tried to refuse to take the motorcycle bacause there was no helmet for it. People started laughing and then he changed his mind.
CARS OF THE CZECH I.F.B.B.
In 1996 the Czech I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders)  organized International Contests in the cities of Prague and Brno. The President W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  as a V.I.P. Guest by the organizers was invited to this contest. There was a new car to be presented to the Over All Winner. The fight among the participating bodybuilders was between the 1996 I.F.B.B. Over All World Junior Champion from Germany and the local Czech bodybuilder. Though the German heavyweight athlete was better, the Czech judges announced the winner is the local one. Trainer of the National Team Germany was in panic about this. Then DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  insisted to make one more judging and comparisions of those two athletes. Again the judges proclaimed the winner the local bodybuilder. Their argument was: „anyway the German bodybuilder can not pass the country border with this car (Republic of Czech was not a E.U. member then) and they presented one more argument: „it is our contest, it is our car and we give it to whom we want“...
LIES FOR THE ATHLETES. CARS FOR THE WINNERS IN LITHUANIA.
Some years ago a Kaunas city bodybuilding organizer announced that the Over All Winner of his contest will receive a car as a prize. Nice! Many famous athletes were interested to compete then. After the contest everybody learned, that the car was not a new one. To say more – the owner of this car was the contest organizer himself! To say even more – the “judges decided”, that the best athlete was the contest organizer himself as he participated and judged at this competition too.  So his own car came back as a prize for him.
CARPETS FOR THE WINNERS.
In 1991 the I.F.B.B. International Contest “Mr. Ural” was organized in Russia Ufa City by President N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association) Russia ALTAF GALEJEV (Альтаф Галеев). The organizers announced that the prize for the Over All Winner will be a new hand made carpet. At this contest participated a number of Socialist countries, Holland and Germany with USA as well. Germans brought a good team with a famous I.F.B.B. bodybuilder AUREL HILLEBRAND. Again, the winner became a local bodybuilder. Trainer of the National Team Germany was in panic saying: “We do not need the carpet, we want fair judging. What I will say in Germany about this?”. President N.A.B.B.A. Lithuania DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS insisted on another judging and one more comparisons of both athletes. Finally the winner was proclaimed AUREL HILLEBRAND and the local athlete had to give the carpet back…
