by Andrew Michalak

Austrian Federation President Dr. Wolfgang Schober can be happy: the frenetic crowd of 500 fans filled the venue of this year�s International Austria Cup held on
September 29th in Vienna. Altogether, 70 athletes from eight nations - Belarus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland and Austria battled for the medals. Tomas Kaspar from the Czech Republic made the overall title in bodybuilding. Kurt Strohmayer kept the classic bodybuilding overall title in Austria.
For ladies it was an important test of their body condition just a week before the upcoming Women�s Worlds in Poland. And they can be satisfied. Zrinka Fiser from Croatia was a clear numero uno in bodyfitness. And Slovenia�s Tanja Canc celebrated a fantastic victory in the bikini fitness tall class final. But there were more top girls placed just behind the winners. Look at the pictures below and you can find tons of photos at:
