On Sunday April 19 2009, the moment was finally there: the Open Dutch Championships Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure of the Dutch Bodybuilding Federation NBBF was on the road!
Me and my buddy Johan went to the contest, and luckily he took a TomTom navigator with him to
navigate us through all the one-way streets of downtown Schiedam. The contest was held at the Theater aan de Schie and was sold out completely. There were a total of seventy-three contestants (I counted them... some competed in more than one class) divided into fourteen classes, and competition was fierce.The ultimate winner of the contest was Paul Lans, who took victory home in the Masters class, the men until 80 kg class and the open class until 85 kg. Great job, he was perfectly ripped. The men's overall title was taken by Eddy Wilson, who looked absolutely mind blowing at this contest.
A delegation from Singapore also competed in the open classes, and they scored well.
The guest performances were great. Contest organizer Papa Mike had gone all out and had attracted three top athletes: pro Victor Martinez, almost-pro Roelly Winklaar and Russian champ Elena Shportun.
The contest started at two in the afternoon, and due to the sheer number of athletes adorning the posing dais and because the fitness and body fitness ladies walked the stage multiple times, the contest ended at eleven at night! It was a long day, but definitely worth it.
Below you can find all results and a selection of the pictures I took at the contest. The complete contest gallery of the NBBF Dutch Championships 2009 (1818 pictures) can be found here.
