Arnold Classic Europe arrangeras i Madrid, Spanien helgen den 7-8 oktober 2011. Gissa om många gymråttor kommer att vallfärda dit då? BODY planerar att vara på plats för att se både proffs och amatörer tävla i Bodybuilding, Body Fitness, Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness, Bikini samt Strongman.
Tillsammans med Arnold Schwarzenegger har Jim Lorimer arrangerat Arnold Classic sedan 1989 (Jims son Bob Lorimer också med i Classic Productions och hjälper till). [http://www.arnoldsportsfestival.com/ Arnold Sports Festival] har växt brutalt de senaste åren – med alla sporter som finns representerade har de flera tusen fler TÄVLANDE än till exempel Fitnessfestivalen har BESÖKARE.
Nu när Arnold inte längre är [https://www.body.se/artiklar/nyheter/20110103/arnold-schwarzeneggers-sista-tal-som-guvernor bunden av guvernörsämbetet] gör man slag i saken och expanderar åt det enda håll som finns kvar – genom att arrangera tävlingen en gång till per år, men utanför Columbus, Ohio, USA. Arrangemanget verkar vara en expansion av den sedan tidigare inplanerade IFBB Grand Prix Valancia 8 oktober i spanien (där top-3 kvalar till Olympia). Mer information om detta stora event kommer då det blir tillgängligt. Gissningsvis får vi se Arnold himself där, jag tweetar honom för att kolla

112 dagar kvar tills superhelgen gör sin debut i Madrid. Pressrelease från i början av veckan:
Quote:Arnold Classic Europe To Debut In Madrid In OctoberCOLUMBUS, Ohio – After hosting the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio for the past 23 years, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to take his popular health and fitness extravaganza on the road.
The first-ever Arnold Classic Europe will be held Oct. 8-9 in Madrid, Spain and will feature IFBB Pro League men’s bodybuilding and fitness, a complete lineup of amateur bodybuilding events, amateur sports and a health & fitness expo.
Arnold Classic Europe is a joint venture between Gov. Schwarzenegger, Arnold Sports Festival co-promoter Jim Lorimer, and Rafael Santonja, the president of the International Federation of Body Building.
”We have had many requests over the years to take the Arnold Classic to many cities throughout the world, and we are excited to begin the globalization of our event with the first Arnold Classic Europe,” said Lorimer, co-promoter of the Arnold Sports Festival. ”Rafael Santonja has been one of our biggest supporters and we look forward to working together for many years.”
In addition to pro men’s bodybuilding and pro fitness, the Arnold Classic Europe will have contests for amateur bodybuilding, fitness, bodyfitness (figure) and bikini competitions. Others will include strongman, armwrestling, weightlifting, gymnastics, Paralympics and track & field. Events will be held at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos del Campo de las Naciones in Madrid.

Quote:The first, inaugural edition of the international amateur contest Arnold Classic Europe seems to be very successful: over 400 competitors have been already nominated! They represent 42 countries from 4 continents. Most of them are from Europe what is obvious as they have not so long distance to cover. But we will see also athletes from South America: Argentina, Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela, form ”Black” Africa: Gambia and Ghana, from Asia: Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Singapore and from Caribbean island of Curacao. A real world physique sports festivity![…]
I mentioned the best known names but a lot of new participants at the world level will also come to challenge the renown stars. As usual, we can expect some surprises and ”dark horses”. This is a beauty of the physique sports also. Registration of athletes will be run next Thursday and the battle on the stages of the Palacio Municipal de Congresos in Madrid will start Friday morning.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see the best bodies of the World!
