European Men s Bodybuilding & Classic BB & Mixed Pairs Championships

DIRECTLY FROM NOVI SAD AFTER THE SEMIFINALS

By Andrew Michalak

The 2009 European Men’s Championships broke the former record of participants: 152 bodybuilders from 26 countries compared to 137 athletes in the last year. And there are 8 mixed pairs, what seems to be a renaissance of this category.

Semifinals were run in 2 sessions: morning and afternoon. As the result, a list of six finalists in each of 13 categories was announced. They will battle for medals on Sunday afternoon (beginning of the finals at 16:00) and the EBFF International Congress will be held Sunday morning (beginning at 10:00).
