IFBB SOLIDARITY
It is a tradition within the IFBB family that the Congress Report contain a section called "IFBB Solidarity". These photographs are, by and large, candid recorded memories of the friends and colleagues we all met during the World Championships and International Congress.
Our parting words, "'Till we meet again in the spirit of friendship and cooperation", portray the true meaning of our coming together as a family, once each year, to celebrate the world's premiere bodybuilding event.
To all IFBB and National Federation officials, we hope that you enjoy and cherish these memories.

Setup and Rehearsals
On November 18, 2002, a full-dress rehearsal took place at the venue site, the National Indoor Stadium-1. Brig. Gen. Thura Aye Myint, Minister for Sports, was present to oversee the rehearsal.
