Arold Sports Festival
|
The Arnold Sports Festival was for me an impressive and exciting event. I saw some Powerlifting and Bodybuilding legends and our Powerlifting events were visited by many, many spectators. The audience follows the athletes passionately. This was assisted by very good announcers, whereas I like the solution with two announcers.
The organisation went well and Dr. Larry Maile with his team made an outstanding contribution that the events were a big success.
It was a pleasure and honour to met Jim Lorimer, Ben Weider, Dr. Rafael Santonja, Bill Kazmaier among others. The performances on the stages were on a high level and there were achieved some World and national records. The competition table with Kathy and Joe Marksteiner was well prepared and the program of Joe showed the audience all the important information. On behalf of the IPF the Anti-Doping Agency "International Doping Tests & Management" (IDTM) has carried out the anti doping tests. My conclusion is that the Arnold Sports Festival was a good platform to show the abilities of the USAPL and the IPF. I am looking forward to attend the Arnold Sports Festival in 2009, because Dr. Larry Maile has reached the goal that we are also the Powerlifting promoter in the festival in 2009. Detlev |
