SITUATION IN USA
Dear friends,
In bodybuilding and fitness USA work differently as all of us do. Earning money and making business of everything using all possible devices – this is the top idea in this country. Receiving Governmental supp[ort, making sport official and recognized – USA dealers do not care for this.
Every Pro contest in USA has it’s own owner, the businessman. If anyone wants to take part at his private Pro Show, You should address him personally and get his approval. Even IFBB as a private structure of Spanish Rafael Santonja has no Pro Shows in USA though they call some of them “the IFBB Show”. Every Pro show in USA is owned and ruled by a certain businessman, not a federation.
Our representative in USA Michael Glass many times tried to make an amateur show, but lacking support and money he has still no success. In March, 2011 Mike makes an amateur show, but the WFF-WBBF International having so many International Events around the World is not going to participate in USA this time too.
The WFF-WBBF North America Championship (amateur) for last four years was organized by the President WFF-WBBF Mexico Manuel Solano. Next 2011 WFF-WBBF North America Championship will be held in October in Mexico again.

Today the 2010 WFF-WBBF „Universe“ Champion ALEKSANDR NEVSKY speaks on the radio „Voice of America“:
Александр Невский снимает фильм «Мистер Вселенная»
ГОЛОС АМЕРИКИ
Надежный источник новостей и информации
Олег Сулькин | Нью-Йорк
Актер, продюсер и культурист Александр Невский объявил о начале съемок фильма «Мистер Вселенная». Это римейк документальной ленты 1977 года «Качай железо», давшей старт международной моде на бодибилдинг и карьере Арнольда Шварценеггера. Как сообщили ряд изданий, в конце октября Невский завоевал титул Universe на 60-м чемпионате мира по бодибилдингу среди любителей, проходившем по версии Всемирной федерации бодибилдинга и фитнеса (WBBF) в Брусно Купеле (Словакия). С Александром Невским, выбравшим своей московской резиденцией отель Ritz Carlton, побеседовал по телефону нью-йоркский корреспондент «Голоса Америки» Олег Сулькин.
Олег Сулькин: Почему ты решил снимать римейк «Качай железо»?
Александр Невский: Друзья отговаривали меня ехать на чемпионат в Словакию. И я себя почувствовал себя как Рокки Бальбоа в последнем фильме Сильвестра Сталлоне. Он хочет вернуться в бокс, а ему говорят: не ходи, а то побьют. Я решил - раз я еду на чемпионат, раз я решил исполнить мечту всей жизни, то надо снять об этом кино. В 1993 году документальный фильм «Цель – Вселенная» сделал меня известным в России. Заслуга «Качай железо» в том, что чемпионаты по бодибилдингу показаны не как цирк или зверинец, а как своего рода искусство, спорт высшей пробы. Мне тоже хочется сделать достойное кино.
О.С.: Где будут проходить съемки?
А.Н.: Мы снимали на чемпионате в Словакии, будем снимать и в России, и в Америке. Фильм выйдет на английском языке. Мне важно, чтобы молодые люди в разных странах почувствовали вкус к бодибилдингу, поняли, что это спорт не для перекачанных экстремалов, а для гармоничных людей.
О.С.: Если не ошибаюсь, ты не собирался выступать на чемпионате...
А.Н.: В июне на московскую премьеру моего нового фильма «Убийство в Лас-Вегасе», в январе выходящего в США под названием «Magic Man», пришло много моих друзей. Среди них - президент Всемирной федерации бодибилдинга и фитнеса (WBBF) Эдмундас Даубарас, легендарный человек, выводивший культуризм из подполья в Советском Союзе. На премьере он меня официально пригласил на чемпионат в Словакию.
О.С.: У тебя не возникло сомнений?
А.Н.: Ты имеешь в виду мой возраст? Да, 17 июля мне исполнилось 39 лет. В тот день я находился на волшебном гавайском острове Мауи. Мне как будто кто-то в ухо нашептал, что делать дальше. Я понял, что должен обязательно выступить. Я начал заниматься бодибилдингом в 1986 году. Благодаря этому, стал известен в 90-е годы в России, где активно пропагандировал и пропагандирую этот вид спорта.
О.С.: И в Голливуд ты прорвался...
А.Н.: Несколько позже и не благодаря бодибилдингу. В 80-90-е годы российские атлеты не участвовали в конкурсах «Мистер Вселенная», так что пройти маршрутом Шварценеггера мне не удалось. Он сначала получил титул «Мистер Вселенная», а потом покорил Голливуд. Но заноза у меня осталась, и я решил: либо сейчас, либо никогда. Меня поддержали моя мама и потрясающая девушка, Оксана Сидоренко, которая находится теперь со мной рядом. Я познакомился с Оксаной, чемпионкой мира по бальным танцам, на телеконкурсе «Танцы со звездами», где мы дошли с ней до финала. Так вот, за невероятно короткий срок в три с половиной месяца мне нужно было восстановить мышечную массу и ее «отсушить».
О.С.: Судя по результату, тебе все удалось...
А.Н.: Да, и во многом благодаря тому, что я всегда наращивал мышцы без анаболиков. В итоге мы с Оксаной привезли пять кубков, причем один из них мы получили вместе за победу в парах по бодибилдингу и фитнесу, а еще один получил я как обладатель титула Universe. Все по версии WBBF. Оксана молодец, она поставила нам показательную программу «Геракл и Афродита», оригинально совмещающую бодибилдинг и танцы. Свою победу я использую, чтобы привлечь внимание подростков и молодежи к натуральному бодибилдингу, спорту без стероидов.
О.С.: Где для тебя важнее карьера – в Голливуде или в России?
А.Н.: Пытаюсь совмещать обе. Когда я уехал из России в 2000 году, российский кинопрокат собирал 5-7 млн долларов в год, а сейчас превысил отметку в 1 млрд долларов. Это серьезный рынок, и мне, как продюсеру, очень важно наращивать здесь свое присутствие. Но не буду скрывать, мне нравится Америка. Я гражданин России, но у меня есть гринкарта. Я всегда хотел жить в Калифорнии, в Мекке бодибилдинга и кинобизнеса. Образно говоря, я такой «мускулистый мостик» между Россией и Америкой.
О.С.: Какие роли нравятся «мускулистому мостику»?
А.Н.: Я никогда не играю отмороженных русских бандитов, не хочу потакать таким стереотипам. Снимаю фильмы, в которых действуют русские герои, вызывающие симпатию. Когда я в России слышу негативные высказывания об Америке, всегда стараюсь их развенчивать. Я себя одинаково комфортно чувствую и в Москве, и в Лос-Анджелесе.
О.С.: Кто режиссер фильма «Мистер Вселенная» и когда он выйдет на экраны?
А.Н.: Снимает фильм Артур Аллан Сейделман, обладатель премии «Эмми» и создатель культового фильма «Геркулес в Нью-Йорке». Я продюсирую его вместе с кинокомпанией Hollywood Strom при участии концерна Magic Crystal. Мировая премьера запланирована на первую половину 2011 года.

Omani officials barred from Beach Games bodybuilding
Muscat Daily Staff Writer , December 01, 2010
Officials of the Oman Bodybuilding Committee have been barred from being part of the Asian Beach Games by the world and Asian governing bodies for the sport as a penalty for participating in competitions organised by two rival bodies recently.
At one point, even Oman's team was on the verge of being barred from the competition to be held at the City Amphitheatre, Qurm from December 9 to 11. But the host's team was finally cleared 'in the interests of the bodybuilders' and under certain conditions including fresh dope tests.
The bodybuilding competition at the Beach Games is being held by Asian Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation (ABBF) and the World Bodybuilding & Physique Sports Federation (WBPF), both operating under the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA).
The Beach Games is being held in Muscat and Musannah from December 8-16 under the patronage of the OCA.
However, the ABBF and WBPF objected to Oman's participation in an Asian championship (Bahrain, October) and a world championship (Azerbaijan, November) organised by the rival federations - Asian Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (AFBF) and International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (IFBB).
These two rival federations are not recognised by the OCA. Speaking exclusively to Muscat Daily from Singapore, Paul Chua, ABBF and WBPF secretary- general, said, “We were upset with the participation of Oman teams at the championships organised by the rival bodies. The Oman Bodybuilding Committee (OBC) is responsible for the athletes' participation. But the executive council of the ABBF, in the interests of the bodybuilders, unanimously decided that Omani competitors will be allowed to participate at the Asian Beach Games on certain conditions.
“The executive council agreed that the athletes should not suffer for the violations committed by the Oman Bodybuilding Committee. One of our primary conditions for an athlete to participate is that he must provide a dope test clearance certificate from a recognised International Olympic Committee laboratory. We want to ensure a dope free event, which is one of the main goals of OCA. Besides that, athletes will have to follow the competition rules of the ABBF and the WBPF.”
However, Chua confirmed there would be no place for members of the Oman Bodybuilding Committee at the Games. “None of the members, even if they are qualified judges, will be allowed to officiate at the Asian Beach Games,” he said. “There is no role, be it technical or another, for any member of the Omani committee. We have already announced a high-powered delegation for the Muscat Games. The participation of Oman teams in the rival Asian and world championships has not gone down well with us and we want to send a clear warning.
“Having said that, we have high regard for the Oman Olympic Committee (OOC), which is making all efforts to make the Games a success. We would like to ensure that the Muscat Asian Beach Games is a grand success. I have been in Muscat twice and am happy with the arrangements made for the competition.”
Reacting to the development, an official from the Oman Bodybuilding Committee told Muscat Daily, “We are happy that our athletes are participating at the Games as we have hopes for medals from them. They have trained hard. I would not like to get into any debate on our past participation and I am happy that we have managed to resolve the row for the moment.”

Meet the ‘Russian Arnold Schwarzenegger’
01 December 2010
By Joy Neumeyer
After 15 minutes of talking, Alexander Nevsky — aka "Mr. Universe" — is hungry. Really hungry.
“Mind if we take a break?” he asks, his fork hovering eagerly over his brunch.
Granted permission, Nevsky dives into the mammoth plate of five eggs before him. The self-proclaimed "Russian Arnold Schwarzenegger" is still celebrating his return to cholesterol after the punishing diet that helped earn him his bodybuilding title in late October — and flaunting the critics who say his "Mr. Universe" mantle is not the one that Nevsky’s idol first captured in 1967.
At an imposing 6 feet 7 inches, with hulking biceps and a broad smile, it’s hard to believe that Nevsky once favored books over barbells. Born in Moscow in 1971 to an engineer and a professor, Nevsky says that as a child he didn’t play sports.
“I didn’t understand my friends — they were all running around with a ball, and I was sitting with a book,” such as the Anna Akhmatova poetry beloved by his mother.
When he sprouted up to a beanpole-like 200 centimeters, the 14-year-old Nevsky encountered problems with his peers. “Boys who’d basically never read any poetry didn’t like that ‘skinny pencil neck’ was getting more attention from girls when [I] couldn’t even do push-ups,” he said. “So they started picking on me.”
To fight back, he began training at a boxing gym. Soon, “all the bad guys in our school, they were surprised,” he said. “Suddenly that ‘pencil neck’ started to fight with them and put them in their place.” But while his self-confidence soared, his appearance remained the same. Frustrated, he asked his mother for money to buy dumbbells and began lifting weights on his own.
Nevsky may have remained a mere at-home fitness enthusiast if it weren’t for one singularly muscled inspiration. When he saw Arnold Schwarzenegger’s star-making turn in “Conan the Destroyer” in 1986, Nevsky knew he had found his life’s dream. “Schwarzenegger was at his prime, muscle-wise, in the movie. I was in shock,” he said. “As soon as the movie finished, I knew what I should do.
“I should start bodybuilding.”
Nevsky worked on his training in between classes at the State Academy of Management. Though bodybuilding had gained global popularity in the '60s and '70s — thanks in large part to Schwarzenegger — in the '80s it was still illegal in the Soviet Union. Nevsky says that at the time, there were only two bodybuilding gyms in Moscow, and they operated under strict discretion. “You couldn’t even put a Schwarzenegger poster on the wall.”
In the early '90s, the Soviet Union’s collapse was accompanied by an explosion of Russian bodybuilding; at last its buff practitioners could bare their chests and compete openly. As his biceps expanded, Nevsky’s star began to rise. At 25, he changed his last name from "Kuritsyn," which in Russian bears an unfortunate resemblance to "kuritsa," or "chicken," to the more robust "Nevsky," reminiscent of the Russian medieval hero. (Nevsky says it’s also his mother’s maiden name.)
Nevsky seized upon the wave of consumerist self-reinvention that accompanied Russia’s shift to capitalism, marketing fitness as a lifestyle. In 1996, Nevsky penned his first book, which combined self-help advice with exercises, and called it “How to Become Arnold Schwarzenegger in Russia.” A television show called “Self-Made Man” and several more books followed.
In 1999, Nevsky moved to Los Angeles to pursue a film career. According to him, in 2000 he had the opportunity to meet his idol when he presented Schwarzenegger with a book signed by Mikhail Gorbachev. (Nevsky says he befriended Gorbachev after defending him from a heckling Communist on a Russian political talk show in the '90s.) “He likes my films, by the way,” Nevsky said.
After improving his English and studying acting, he has produced and starred in several English-language action movies filmed in Moscow, including “Moscow Heat” with Michael York and “Treasure Raiders” with David Carradine. So far, Nevsky’s films have been widely panned in Russia, and have gone straight to DVD in the United States.
Though Schwarzenegger’s international movie stardom has eluded his grasp, Nevsky finally got a shot at one of his idol’s crowning achievements: the Mr. Universe title. In June, Edmundas Daubaras, head of the World Bodybuilding Federation (WBBF) and World Fitness Federation (WFF), which sponsor the tournament, approached him with an offer to compete in this year’s 60th anniversary competition.
Three and a half months later, Nevsky and Oksana Sidorenko (Nevsky’s recent "Dancing With the Stars" partner and now-girlfriend) took the stage in Brusno Kupele, Slovakia. They dressed as Hercules and Aphrodite, posing alongside their competitors for hours beneath bright stage lights without drinking water. (“You want your muscles to be more defined,” Nevsky explained.) On Oct. 29, Nevsky’s press agency announced that he was anointed Mr. Universe, Sidorenko won World Champion in Model Fitness, and together they took the pairs crown.
However, some fitness buffs claim that the WBBF/WFF event has no relation to the Mr. Universe competition in which Schwarzenegger participated, which was sponsored by the National Amateur Body Builders’ Association (NABBA). Russian bodybuilding web site Powerlifting.ru led the charges, proclaiming: “Nevsky, the king of bodybuilding, has turned out to be 'naked,' since he won a competition that has conferred global status on itself and has no relation to the prize recognized by the best sportsmen.”
In a press release issued by Nevsky’s PR agency, WBBF general secretary Andrei Basov denied the claims, asserting that the WBBF competition is the current official Mr. Universe competition, and that the current NABBA Mr. Universe is not registered. For his part, Nevsky shrugs off the allegations. “When you’re successful, other people are jealous,” he said.
Despite the doubts surrounding his title, Nevsky is seizing on publicity from the event to promote his new film projects, starting with a remake of Schwarzenegger’s 1977 biographical film, “Pumping Iron.”
Unlike his hero, Nevsky says that for now he has no designs to run for office. However, he does believe he has a special political mission of his own. As he polished off the last morsels of his toast, Nevsky said his ultimate goal is to foster better relations between his native and adopted countries. “I’m kind of like a bridge between Hollywood and Moscow,” he said. “I’m trying to show that Russia and America, they can work together. They can fight evil together. They can be friends.”
Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev should take note. As his classmates learned several decades ago, when Alexander Nevsky speaks, it’s wise to listen.

Meet the ‘Russian Arnold Schwarzenegger’
01 December 2010
By Joy Neumeyer
After 15 minutes of talking, Alexander Nevsky — aka "Mr. Universe" — is hungry. Really hungry.
“Mind if we take a break?” he asks, his fork hovering eagerly over his brunch.
Granted permission, Nevsky dives into the mammoth plate of five eggs before him. The self-proclaimed "Russian Arnold Schwarzenegger" is still celebrating his return to cholesterol after the punishing diet that helped earn him his bodybuilding title in late October — and flaunting the critics who say his "Mr. Universe" mantle is not the one that Nevsky’s idol first captured in 1967.
At an imposing 6 feet 7 inches, with hulking biceps and a broad smile, it’s hard to believe that Nevsky once favored books over barbells. Born in Moscow in 1971 to an engineer and a professor, Nevsky says that as a child he didn’t play sports.
“I didn’t understand my friends — they were all running around with a ball, and I was sitting with a book,” such as the Anna Akhmatova poetry beloved by his mother.
When he sprouted up to a beanpole-like 200 centimeters, the 14-year-old Nevsky encountered problems with his peers. “Boys who’d basically never read any poetry didn’t like that ‘skinny pencil neck’ was getting more attention from girls when [I] couldn’t even do push-ups,” he said. “So they started picking on me.”
To fight back, he began training at a boxing gym. Soon, “all the bad guys in our school, they were surprised,” he said. “Suddenly that ‘pencil neck’ started to fight with them and put them in their place.” But while his self-confidence soared, his appearance remained the same. Frustrated, he asked his mother for money to buy dumbbells and began lifting weights on his own.
Nevsky may have remained a mere at-home fitness enthusiast if it weren’t for one singularly muscled inspiration. When he saw Arnold Schwarzenegger’s star-making turn in “Conan the Destroyer” in 1986, Nevsky knew he had found his life’s dream. “Schwarzenegger was at his prime, muscle-wise, in the movie. I was in shock,” he said. “As soon as the movie finished, I knew what I should do.
“I should start bodybuilding.”
Nevsky worked on his training in between classes at the State Academy of Management. Though bodybuilding had gained global popularity in the '60s and '70s — thanks in large part to Schwarzenegger — in the '80s it was still illegal in the Soviet Union. Nevsky says that at the time, there were only two bodybuilding gyms in Moscow, and they operated under strict discretion. “You couldn’t even put a Schwarzenegger poster on the wall.”
In the early '90s, the Soviet Union’s collapse was accompanied by an explosion of Russian bodybuilding; at last its buff practitioners could bare their chests and compete openly. As his biceps expanded, Nevsky’s star began to rise. At 25, he changed his last name from "Kuritsyn," which in Russian bears an unfortunate resemblance to "kuritsa," or "chicken," to the more robust "Nevsky," reminiscent of the Russian medieval hero.
