On June 6, 2009, the NAC (National Athletics Committee) staged their World Championships at the World Forum in the Hague, Netherlands.
A total of 163 athletes from 21 countries in 12 classes - not counting the couples class - went into battle
for top honors in their class. Most top spots were taken by male and female athletes from Hungary, and the overall title in the Men's Body division was taken by Hungarian behemoth Mihaly Kormany. Mihaly's legs and calves were so large, the audience just shook their heads in disbelief.
Overall top honors in the Figure class was taken
by Natalia Bystrova from Russia, who looked absolutely superb. In the Men's Athletic classes, the overall title went to Ferenc Nagy from Hungary.
The overall quality of athletes was of a very high standard, showing the NAC can hold their own easily
amongst all other federations. Promoter and NAC President in the Netherlands Leon Spijkers organized an overwhelming show at a great venue!
Below you can find all results and a selection of the pictures I took at the contest. To keep this page's size under control, I decided to only show the top six of every class. If you want to see more pictures of a specific class, click on the class name and you will be taken to contest gallery for that class.
The complete contest gallery of the NAC World Championships 2009 (2924 pictures) can be found
here. Pictures can be ordered straight from the gallery, or via the
order page.
All photo's can be clicked on, which will open a second browser screen that shows the picture in a larger format.
