Begravningsakten för Joe Weider avhölls för ett tag sedan, och var en mindre ceremoni för de närmast sörjande. På söndag avhålls dock en minnesstund i Santa Monica, Kalifornien där många av kroppsbyggarsportens legender kommer att närvara, bland annat är Arnold på plats för att hålla tal. Bodybuilding.com webbsänder högtiden.
Nio timmars tidsskillnad mellan Los Angeles och Sverige ger att starttiden blir 22:00 söndag kväll svensk tid.
