INBA Australia commissioned the striking of an exclusive gold Achievement Medallion for our competitors who take up the challenge of competing, but do not place Top 3. The double-sided Achievement Medallion recognises that to make it on-stage is a remarkable accomplishment. Not many people have the strength to attempt or succeed in completing the ultimate physical challenge - to endure the 24/7 rigours of contest preparation, diet, training and also learn the mind field of knowledge to take your body to new boundaries. INBA Presidents wanted something special to recognise their competitors feat of making it all the way to “contest day”. Plus to highlight that placing outside Top 3 does not reflect what you have achieved – sometimes those who finish last have fulfilled the biggest personal challenge. Like finishing a marathon, to compete on stage deserves its credit - the INBA Achievement Medallion.
