352 entrants representing 20 Countries in the 2009 INBA Natural Olympia turned the Gold Coast (Australia) event into a history defining 4-days for Natural Bodybuilding. The physiques, personalities, quality and contest condition of each drug-free athlete competing created an awesome experience for everyone involved and an "event storm" on the Natural Olympia day. Not were just the Top 3 incredible, the top dozen competitors, were awe-inspiring to watch on stage. With line-ups of up to 28 per division, never in 30 years of involvement in the sport of bodybuilding have I witnessed such a stunning event and competitors. Every part of the 4-days was awesome. Starting with 210 minutes of registration on Thursday, where 352 entrants were registered, music and posing instructions taken, contest number and ID Passport handed out, questions answered, uniforms purchased, tickets collected, DVD orders confirmed......that is an average of 48 seconds per entrant! The professionalism of the event administration was second to none. The drive and energy of Promoter, Jason Woodforth, was the mast that sailed the contest. The event itself started on Thursday night with the Female and Male SportsModels judged and presented at the Opening Party. The following day, the Bikini Divas literally stopped traffic in the heart of Surfers Paradise with over 300 spectators cramming into Cavill Mall to watch the INBA beauties. All this was just entree to the greatest-show-on-earth, The 2009 INBA Natural Olympia contest on Saturday. 350 competitors rolled out 11 hours of top-end competition in a seamless, faultless, display of figure, fitness, physique and bodybuilding that was completed by 9PM. With a relaxed and happy celebration of the event following on Sunday, INBA booked SeaWorld resort for our own private Luncheon and Gala Presentations.
