WHAT INTERNATIONAL CONTEST IS OFFICIAL AND WHAT CONTEST IS NOT OFFICIAL?

OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS.

If You will address to any Olympic Committee or Sport Ministry, then any of You will get a plain answer - official Internetional contests are the folowing ones:

-          Olympic Games

-          World Championship and World Cup

-          Continent Championship or Cup (America, Europe, Asia etc..).

Every officially working International Sport Federation follow the above statement.

OFFICIAL NATIONAL CONTESTS

Official National Contests are:

Annual National Championship and National Cup.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO WFF-WBBF INTERNATIONAL CONTEST ORGANIZERS.

Three specific requirements of the WFF-WBBF International  should be followed:

1.     officially appointed group of the International secretaries (including a professional photographer) must work at any official contest

2.     at least 5 Internationally Certified Judges must work at any official contest. International Judges Certificates are given to any National Judge after attending the annual International Judges Seminar.

3.     The organizer of any official contest must solve the question of covering expences of International secretaries and International judges that must be present at a definite official event

4.     Any International contest that does not cover these 3 above requirements can not be official from the point of view of the WFF-WBBF International.

WFF-WBBF INTERNATIONAL OFFICIAL CONTESTS

In difference to most so called „International bodybuilding federations“ the WFF-WBBF International does it‘s best to work as any official federation of any sport. „various „festivals“, „weekends“, „classics“, „nights of champions“, „variety shows“ never were WFF-WBBF official contests as it is among other „federations“.

The 50 years lasting history of the WFF-WBBF federation is highly connected with „Amber Prix International“ which served as the unofficial World Champiomnship of over 20 socialist countries for nearly 30 years. It was recognized by the Ministry of Sport of the USSR (1989). This is the reason the „Amber Prix International“ is included to the WFF-WBBF official contests. Also bodybuilding is not an Olympic kind of sport. This is the reason that the WFF-WBBF counts the status of the „Universe“  contest equal to the World Championship.

In 2018 about 60 contests are organized under the WFF-WBBF name in various countries. For example: 12 contests in Russia (most of them are International), 8 contests in Belorussia (4 of them International), 2 in Poland, 6 in Brazil, 2 in Paraguay etc... These contests are not folowing the specific requirements of the WFF-WBBF International official contest.

The 2018 Official International Contests of the WFF-WBBF International Federation are:

February 26, 2018, ASIA CHAMPIONSHIP, Ludhiana, India

May 19, 2018, 51-st „AMBER PRIX INTERNATIONAL“, Klaipeda, Lithuania

May 20, 2018, PRO „UNIVERSE“, Klaipeda, Lithuania

June 9, 2018, WORLD GRAND PRIX RUSSIA, Sochi, Russia

2018. GLOBAL TELEVISION CNN PRESENTED WFF-WBBF TO A BILLION PEOPLE WORLD WIDE.

FOREIGN MINISTRY REPUBLIC LITHUANIA WORKS WITH WFF-WBBF.

Today the International Federation WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) unites 129 Country-Members from all Continents. Every year WFF-WBBF holds over 60 International Events in various Countries.

CNN NEWS PRESENTED WFF-WBBF TO A BILLION PEOPLE WORLD WIDE.

Some time ago the Global CNN (Cable News Network) television made a special report on the WFF-WBBF events that were held in Klaipeda (EU, Republic Lithuania) in May, 2017. That were the 50-th „Amber Prix International“ («Янтарный приз», «Gintarinis Prizas“, 1968-2017) and the 18-th „Universe“ contests. Due to this a billion (milliard) people World Wide had a possibility to see the WFF-WBBF International work.

CNN is one of the World‘s most important International News Television Companies. We do not remember that CNN ever reported about bodybuilding sport before. Positively reported... We are proud that the report was about the WFF-WBBF International Events, that had happened in Lithuania, European Union.

Before this the WFF-WBBF International also had a number of  reports on other International Television Companies, such as  „Eurosport“, „Sky News“ and many national televisions of various countries through the World.

FOREIGN MINISTRY REPUBLIC LITHUANIA WORKS WITH WFF-WBBF.

Receiving the information about the CNN preparations to make a report from the WFF-WBBF International events in Lithuania, the Lithuania Republic Foreign Ministry officials addressed the International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  and assisted him in the common work with the CNN television.

WFF-WBBF ALWAYS WAS NON KOMMERCIAL SPORT ORGANIZATION.

During the fivety years of it‘s activities the WFF-WBBF always kept on the real sport side. Though there were various political and economical dificulties, the federation never stopped working on (read historical articles on the International Site www.wff.lt).

WFF-WBBF athletes always had possibilities to seek the highest titles at the International recognized official contests. Historic statistics prove the WFF-WBBF is a prestigeous International Federation among all federations. One can organize several successfull competitions, but it is not the same as the fivety years of serious stable work. The power of the WFF-WBBF – fivety years of constant International Sport work.

Today the valuables of the mankind changed. For most people money means everything. No morality, only money and lies. The 3000 years lasting Bible Concept of Ruling Menkind is close to the end. Today most of International Sport Organizations are commercial. Even WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) seeks profit and this is the reason that not every International Sport Organization can join WADA. Such mentioned above organizations  proclame commerce, not sport. It is a theater of absurd now and we were writing about this many times before.

WFF-WBBF will remain conservative and it will not follow other commercial sport organizations.  WFF-WBBF will remain on the real sport side and this is our priority. 

In difference to other organizations WFF-WBBF collaborates with the recognized International Sport Institutions, National Governmental Structures and representatives of all religions. All of them notice and valuate the WFF-WBBF activities. We see the WFF-WBBF as a strong friendly unit and this is our power.

2018. EMPIRE OF WEIDER BROTHERS COMPLEATELLY RUINED.

IN HUNDRED YEARS OF IT‘S HISTORY BODYBUILDING LOOKS AS ABSURD THEATER.

Everybody interested knows the International Bodybuilding History.  From the first circus athletes and first body demonstrations bodybuilding became a real kind of sport at the end of the last century. Then, due to our respected Friend and Owner and the President of the IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) BEN WEIDER bodybuilding got the two years of experimental time from the I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee) and really aimed to become the Olympic Sport.

All this is fare away now. After Weider brothers sold the IFBB federation and Professional „Olympia“, bodybuilding non stop sanks down.  Today the only one the WFF-WBBF(World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation),  which unites 129 Countries that represent all Continents, still seeks the official recognition of bodybuilding as sport. All others forgot the real sport even in their dreams. Lots of groups appeared and they call themselves as „international federations“... They do not have their history and they do not have any future vision as well. According the official sport reguirements they do not organize official sport competitions. Today bodybuilding contests are replaced by festivals, fibo‘s and other selling-buying  happenings, various „classics“ . Who are sportsmen? Champions of a happening? Today only business and commerce remains in bodybuilding. We are against it!

IFBB HAS INVOLVED IN NEW SCANDAL. FEDERATION INNER SPLIT FIGHTS GO ON.

In 2017 the IFBB and NPC (National Phisyque Committee) were split and, as it was always in the history, go on with primitive dirty fighting in between. They think this will make International Bodybuilding Face more clean and attractive to public. Detailed historical, juridical and financial information one can find in various languages on the Global Bodybuilding Site www.wff.lt. Read articles and forum topics: “IFBB/EFBB ILLEGAL JURIDICAL AND FINANCIAL DEALS” («ЮРИДИЧЕСКИЕ И ФИНАНСОВЫЕ АФЁРЫ ИФББ/ЕФББ»).

RAFAEL SANTONJA TAKES PART AT FIGHTING AT IFBB COMPETITION IN GREECE.

Some time ago Russia Governmental Television «Россия-24»   reported about a number of cases when some young IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) athletes die in a short period of time.

Now a new scandal happened at the IFBB competition in Greece with the presence of the Owner and President of the IFBB private company Spanish RAFAEL SANTONJA. During the „Diamond Cup“  contest a IFBB Greece bodybuilder IOANNIS MAGKOS hit a IFBB Judge, turned upside down judging tables and smashed judging documents.

SPORTSMEN SPEAK ABOUT CORRUPTION IN IFBB.

Rick Tiggeler:“ Still its a corrupt jurysport. I know his reaction, been there done that, people who do not know where they talk about can blame the roids. But it's hard work and dedication and then you lose because the other athletes are under training of a jury member or sponsor and takes the first place. He is not really in shape, but still. If he was and looked the best, he had a chance to lose“.

Antonio Romao: „Its all a mafia Giannis, not fair With that injustice! No matter what all everyone that knows you knows who you are! You supposed to have been the winner! You are a champion EVERYDAY!“.

John Koymentos:“ Only those who are blind they saw he had to win the dude in the fight the rest is for those who do not know the game, pity for the judges showed that did not respect the hard work of Maggos and the second made him first a pity for them that were affected by somewhere to give professional card in wrong athlete“.

Part 6.

 THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR OWN OPPINION

There are different point of views, there are different oppinions. But on what basis they are built? Often people discuss the history of bodybuilding never themselves being involved in any historic process. Often they only have heard something...
International President WFF-WBBF DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS personally took part in many important International Sport Events and still is. Many superior International Bosybuilding Events had happened not only with the participation of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, but often he himself was the initiator of those Historic Bodybuilding Events and Happenings.
For many decades among all USSR Bodybuilding Leaders DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was the only one to know several foreign languages. That gave the opportunity for DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to communicate direct with all International Bodybuilding Leaders through the World. Let us remember the famous International Press Conference when the IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) Owner and President BEN WEIDER came on official visit to the USSR first time. Then in front of public and journalists this long lasting Press Conference turned into a two hours lasting dialogue between BEN WEIDER and DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS.
Today the President WFF-WBBF International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS is in contact with nearly all known International Bodybuilding Leaders of the World. This prove thousands of documents saved in the historic archives of the WFF-WBBF International. The WFF-WBBF today is involved in important International Bodybuilding activities to change the basic position of our sport, to get the official recognition for Bodybuilding. That is why there is no enough time to be spent working on the documents of the History of World Bodybuilding.
Having another University Low Degree DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS studied the Juridical Background of every so called „International Bodybuilding Federation“. The statements about the WFF-WBBF being the World‘s nearly Sole International No Profit Bodybuilding Federation are proved by juridical documents. Not everybody like this. But do not talk, do not blackmail us – just go and register Your own International Federation according the International Law requirements, work for the bodybuilding sport at least fivety years as we did, have definite results of Your own work and then we will agree that all is ok with Your federation. But we do not think the real „owner“ of Your International Federation, who owns it as his private property, will let You see in public the real documents if there are such documents at all. In most cases – no.
For example, all of us know, that NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association) is registered as a UK public club, not as an International Sport Federation. It looks unserious.
It looks unserious when WABBA (World Amateur Body Building Association) International for many yeras had only it‘s name and logo registered. Nothing more.
On the official level we may call this „international bodybuilding humour“. Every ministry of sport of any country and every serious Governmental Sport Official will have nothing to do with such „International Federations“. And it is so until they do not cheat the Governmental Structures telling and presenting them false information about their federations.
Having new ideas and based on the correct juridical registration International WFF-WBBF works for the official recognition of our sport. For the last two decades other federations use to copy the ideas of WFF-WBBF: model fitness, bikiny categories, classic bodybuilding and fitness, „fit-kids“, disabled bodybuilding etc.. We have nothing against – take and use them. But again it proves the WFF-WBBF is on the right way.

2018. Celebrating fifty years of the WFF-WBBF International Activities and confronting the coming New Year of 2018 -  Congratulating Words of the President WFF-WBBF International DSc. Edmundas Daubaras.

Closing the year of the 2017 I want to thank all of You for the huge work that was done. We have been working much and achieved good positive results in 2017 again. Today the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International federation unites national organizations of 129 countries, that represent all Continents. Imagine – we organized 60 International Events World Wide! The Official Flag and the Official Himna of the WFF-WBBF International federation were presented at the most important World‘s Events. Especially important to the World‘s official sport were the our sport live history the 50-th „Amber Prix International“ (1968 - 2016, «Янтарный приз», «Gintarinis prizas“), the World Amateur and Professional Championships, the „Universe“ and the 2-d BRICS Championship. No one other International Organization, that represents our sport, can not be proud of so long history of it’s International activities. No one of them has so many Country - Members. No one organizes so many official International events. No one other organization seeks developing of our sport on official level, but the WFF-WBBF. They even do not try to do this. To say more – today all International Federations have chosen the commercial way and they are private commercial profit companies today, not sport federations.

Especially I would like to underline tremendous work done by the WFF-WBBF  International VIP Officials Lalit Soni (India), Andrej Basov, Svetlana Pugacheva and Ksenija Skvorcova (all Russia), Edita Sendriene and Vytautas Mikuckis (both Lithuania), Alireza Rasa (Iran), Pibe Rodriguez (Paraguay), Gianni Almeida (Brazil), James Davidsom (South Africa), Angelina Romanovic (Latvia), Gvidon Alvantzian (Cyprus), Valentina Kozlovskaja and Vladimir Kurilcik (both Belarus), Sergej Medvedev (Uzbekistan), Wojciech Nadolski and Zaneta Balsewic (both Poland), and many other our sport personalities.

In 2017 the Parliament Republic Lithuania organized the Official Meeting for the leaders of the WFF-WBBF International. Also at the Lithuania National News Agency ELTA  the International Press Conference was held.

In 2017 at the 50-th “Amber Prix International” Contest we celebrated the  fifty years of the WFF-WBBF International activities. The WFF-WBBF International goes on working on the unbelievable huge unique work – the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” (“Pasaulinė kultūrizmo enciklopedija”, «Энциклопедия всемирного культуризма»).  It will be published in various languages. Until now nobody in the World ever dared to do such a tremendous project.

In 2016 under the initiative of the WFF-WBBF International the International Sport University (I.S.U., Tarptautinis sporto universitetas, Международный университет спорта; www.isuniversity.lt ) was established and registered in the European Union. Under the guidance of talanted administrators and scientists now it works succcessfully. In 2017 the ISU became the Associated member of the UNESCO organization at the UN (United Nations). Professor Vasilij Bespalenko works  activelly at the International Sports University.

We work with various power sports over 50 years. In 2012 under the initiative of our representatives of Canada, India, Italy and Lithuania we established the WPSF (World Power Sports Federation). In 2017 it organized the first World Powerlifting Championship in Lithuania.

Various International and National Social and Governmental Institutions notice huge efforts of the WFF-WBBF International. We were presenting and publishing  information on this many times. For the International activities in 2017 the President WFF-WBBF International DSc. Edmundas Daubaras was awarded with the “Order of Christ”. The Respect Award was presented to him by the Order of the Christ which is an Associated Member of the UN (United Nations) in New York, USA. Some time ago the Chairman Parliament Republic Slovakia Mgr. Art. Andrej Hrciar sent his congratulating words to the WFF-WBBF International and also he awarded the International President DSc. Edmundas Daubaras with the Honour Award of the Parliament Republic Slovakia. After several years we would like to remember that in 2012 through His personal letter the Roman Pope Benedictus XVI (Benedetto XVI)  blessed the WFF-WBBF International activities.

Representing World‘s Fitness and Bodybuilding Sport the WFF-International and the WBBF-International are the only ones World Wide Officially Registered International Non Profit Sport Organizations that work well for our sport so long time. New ideas and tremendous work done for the International Sport make the WFF and WBBF to be the today’s International Leaders in Bodybuilding and Fitness World Wide. The WFF and WBBF do not live yesterday’s life. We have lots of  new Global Bodybuilding Projects ahead.

HEALTH, SUCCESS, LUCK AND HAPPINESS IN 2018!!!

God bless all of us in our sincere pray!

INTERNATIONAL BODYBUILDING NEWS.

Some time ago we were writing that WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) sent Holiday congratulations to the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International federation. What does it mean? Official International Sport Institution congratulated Official International WFF-WBBF Federation. Do You know any other International Federation of our sport that was congratulated by WADA?

Before we were writing many times, that most so called „International federations, Associations, Committees etc. Are not official International Sport Organizations by Law. Most of them are private commercial companies. As IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders; read International Page www.wff.lt articles and forum topics „Illegal IFBB/EFBB juridical and financial deals“). In 2009 after inner fights IFBB was split into two parts and in 2017 IFBB was split again  in two parts (of the Spanish RAFAEL SANTONJA‘s IFBB and the USA NPC, National Phisyque Committee of JIM MANION). All new structures fight in beween and go their own way.

RUSSIA IS A GLOBAL PLAYER.

There are only few Global Players in the World. Some time the „World Rullers“ decided to make a Global Player of Russia too. It is evident. The old World Rulling structures do not like this. They fight, but they have no chances to stop the Global Changes (get to know the „Bible World Rulling Concept“, which detalized all events through the last 3000 years).

There are lots of evidences of the Global Changes. Many people do not understand what is going on. Among them today‘s scandals of WADA in Russia. The World is changing and it is changing rappidly. The sport also is changing on Global, International and National level.   

Let us speak about our sport in Russia. From 1987 bodybuilding sport was represented by Russia IFBB and it was supported by the Sport Ministry of Russia. In 2016-2017 due to a multiple doping scandals and a number of athletes deaths the Sport Ministry refused to support IFBB Russia any longer. A famous Hollywood Actor and Producer, three time “Mr.Universe“ Champion (called „Russia Schwarzenegger“) ALEKSANDR NEVSKY writes about this:

„Только что, президентом "федерации бодибилдинга Санкт-Петербурга" избран А. Вишневский, уличённый в приёме запрещённых препаратов и лишенный титула чемпиона мира. Президентом "федерации бодибилдинга Москвы" уже несколько лет является О. Макшанцев, также лишенный титулов за применение "химии". Не удивлюсь, к сожалению, если один из них (или им подобный) вскоре станет и президентом "федерации бодибилдинга России", которая, кстати, получает финансирование от государства. Нужно ли объяснять, почему этими "федерациями бодибилдинга" не ведётся никакой анти-пропаганды анаболиков в российских СМИ, а единственным молодым "культуристом" на ТВ сейчас является несчастный недоросль с огромными руками, которые наполнены синтолом?“

Today Russia starts developing a new programme to develop bodybuilding. That will be much different from the old one. We will speak of this some time late ras we are sure the Russia process will change bodybuilding on International level too.

2017. DEMOCRACY IN SPORT. GET TO KNOW WORLD BODYBUILDING HISTORY.
MOST INTERNATIONAL SPORT FEDERATIONS ARE NOT FEDERATIONS.
Today the WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation)   International unites National Federations from 129 Countries that represent all Continents. Some time ago National Federation WFF-WBBF Republic Equatorial Guinea  became the 129 -th Country-Momber of the WFF-WBBF International.
Every year the WFF-WBBF International holds over 60 International Events World Wide.
 
MOST INTERNATIONAL FEDERATIONS ARE NOT FEDERATIONS. THEY PLAY GAMES AND FOOL PEOPLE. SPORT MINISTRY ADDRESSED WFF-WBBF PRESIDENT.
some time ago  the WFF-WBBF International Headquarters were addressed through it‘s representative by Sport Ministry of one Asia Country. Working with the National WFF-WBBF Federation of this Country the Sport Ministry wants to organize the WFF-WBBF World Amateur Championship. Such contacts are possible only with the WFF-WBBF International. Relations with the National Olympic Committees and Sport Ministries are evident only of in 2009 split in between IFBB-1(International Federation of Body Builders, Owner and President RAPHAEL SANTONJA  from Spain) and IFBB-2 (Leader PAUL CHUA from Singapore) and working from 1968 WFF-WBBF International. By the way, in 2017 IFBB-1 split agai between NPC (National Phisyque Committee) of American JIM MANION (owner of the NPC) and the mentioned above RAFAEL SANTONJA. So today we have three International IFBB federations, that fight in between. All other so called “International Federations” and “International Associations” can not work with Sport Ministries as they are not International Sport Federations by Law. Have you ever seen a single other so called “International Sport Federation” working with Olympic Committees and Sport Ministries but these three spoken above? No! Maybe somebody will register a new one real International Federation, but it is a long long way until it will get any recognition.

Now we will speak about various International Federations and we will start from ourselves – the WFF-WBBF International.
 
WFF-WBBF INTERNATIONAL.
We have spoken to the International Sport Society many times about the history of the WFF-WBBF International in the International Internet Page www.wff.lt, our multiple Facebook Pages and in the International Magazine “Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding”, that is issued in various languages since 1989. In all the World International historical materials about our sport collect and publish only the WFF-WBBF. Nobody else has so huge historic documents as the WFF-WBBF has. Other commercial federations care only about themselves and the Global development of our sport does not interest them. The WFF-WBBF International is the only one unique exception.
Crowning it‘s 50 years of  International Bodybuilding activities, the WFF-WBBF  works on the unique Global Bodybuilding Project -  the  „World Bodybuilding  Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедия мирового культуризма»).
Our  „World Bodybuilding  Encyclopedia“  is based on the fivety years collected Archives of the WFF-WBBF International, the Archivic Documents were presented to us by the Owner and the President of WABBA (World Amateur Body Building Association) SERGE NUBRET (France),  the Heads of the UK Public Club NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association) OSCAR HEIDENSTAM (England) and IVAN DUNBAR (Ireland), the Owners and Heads of the IFBB Commercial Company  BEN WEIDER (Canada), PAUL CHUA (Singapore), ALEX BAUER (Austria), JOSE PARDO HIDALGO (Spain).
Starting with EUGENE SANDOW (1898) our  „World Bodybuilding  Encyclopedia“  covers the period of over 100 years time. It presents over 8000 known International Bodybuilding  Sport personalities who were very important for the World Bodybuilding Sport during the last Century. Important - all these 8000 Bodybuilding Persons are representing all historically known traditional International Bodybuilding Federations.

 Now the WFF-WBBF International presents a new Global Sport Educational Institution – the INTERNATIONAL SPORT UNIVERSITY (Международный Университет Спорта, www.isuniversity.lt ). The ISU is registered in the EU and in 2017 became an Associated Member of the UNESCO at the UN (United Nations).

Part 5.

FIRST THROUGH THE IRON WALL

At the Soviet times the Universities of different countries used to change students in between. While studying the Law and Philology at the Vilnius State University contemporary International President WFF-WBBF DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  was included into such studnet‘s groups and  two times visited Czechoslovakia (1974 and 1976). Serious sport contacts with Czechoslovakia bodybuilding leaders started at once. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS had constant meetings and correspondence with the President IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders) Czechoslovakia VOJTECH FIALA. VOJTECH FIALA was a talanted smart and active Bodybuilding Official.  It was most result of VOJTECH FIALA personal work and his presonal International contacts that in 1974 Czechoslovakia broke the „Iron Wall“ of communists and started participating at the World and Continental Championships in the Western World. It was PETR STACH who won the European Championship first time in bodybuilding history representing all Socialist Countries in 1975. PETR STACH performed a complicated multy - pose posing routine accompanied by the music. He gave the  Western Bodybuilders the posing lessons and after his successfull participation new posing ideas started in the bodybuilding World. Before this at the Official Contests the Bodybuilders used to pose on a small podium. It was like this: a bodybuilder went on 1 x 1 meter podium, hit 1 - 2 poses, then thought for some time and hit 1 - 2 more poses again and that was all. What is interesting that during this „hard“ posing program bodybuilders somehow managed to forget and skip 1 or 2 poses... That was a popular topic of discussion after the routine.
Regular participation of Czechoslovakia Bodybuilders in the West quickly rised them on the Top in the Socialist Bodybuilding. Sportsmen of multiple Socialist Countries had no such chances and really envied the Czechoslovaks. On the hard political situation like this being the biggest regular International Event in the Socialist World the „Amber Prix International“ was of unbelievably great importance at that times.
Visiting Czechoslovakia DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS met a number of personal friends among the Sport Leaders and Bodybuilders: PETR STACH, PETR TLAPAK, ROBERT DANTLINGER, ALOIS PEK and many others. Good relations of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS were set with JOZEF MAZAK (later with MILAN PERDOCH). Both of them were directors of the in Bratislava (Czechoslovakia) published Magazine „Trener“. In those years „Trener“ Magazine used to publish bodybuilding materials constantly and it was the only sourse of regular information about our sport in the Socialist World. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wrote a number of articles for „Trener“ Magazine too. Among them about the „Amber Prix International“  („Gintarinis prizas“, „Янтарный приз», 1968-2017).
DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was in constant contact with Bodybuilding Leaders of Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, China. Two times after the invitation of the Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding Official Professor FRANTISEK BULVA DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was present as a VIP quest at the meetings of the National Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding Federation Executive Council (1976, Brno). DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  was in intensive correspondence with the Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding Officials and Athletes (lots of documents are in the historic archives of the WFF-WBBF International).
Under the personal initiative of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS the  unique International Contest between the National Teams of Lithuania and Czechoslovakia were thoroughly planned and worked out. After a long work finally DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS received from Sport Ministerium invitations for the Lithuania Bodybuilding Team to participate in Czechoslovakia. It was the unbelievable result in Socialist times. The successfull visa work started and ... it ended with the same result as it ends very often. Due to the inner misunderstandings, envy, jealousy, blackmailing letters of the Bodybuilding Officials to the Governmental Security Institutions of the USSR (KGB), the Contest in Czechoslovakia was canceled. These „famous“ historic documents, invitations still remain not used in the WFF-WBBF International archives. Angry with the USSR Bodybuilding Officials who did this, DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS gave his personal Intenational Contacts to his good Estonian friend and Bodybuilding Leader INNAR MARDO. Later INNAR MARDO used these contacts. INNAR MARDO due to his good personal contacts in Estonia Government, a number of times participated at International Contests in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia with the National Teams Estonia (1979 - 1981). It was INNAR MARDO who using the contacts given him by DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS brought the Over All „Amber Prix International“ Winner OLEV ANNUS and the „Amber Prix International“ Champion INDREK OTSUS (Estonia) abroad to win all the competitions they participated. Both of them won against the already famous Czechoslovakia bodybuilding stars. And again nothing new: when all goes well with INNAR MARDO, the envy, jealousy and dirty blackmailing starts in Estonia too. That made INNAR MARDO to leave his Bodybuilding activities for a number of years, OLEV ANNUS emigrated to Finland and became a famous Bodybuilder of IFBB and NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association). For participating at NABBA Events OLEV ANNUS twice was sanctioned and disqualified by the IFBB for „life“, but he always managed to come back and to participate again and again.

HISTORIC INTERNATIONAL „SPORT OF FITNESS AND BODYBUILDING“ MAGAZINE.
SOCIALIST COUNTRIES BODYBUILDING LITERATURE.

Before the prohibition of bodybuilding in the middle of the sixties of the last century in all Socialist World Countries  the only one regular magazine about bodybuilding sport was Polish „Sport Dla Wszystkich“. At that time Lithuanians presented the basics of bodybuilding in the magazine „The Student“(„Moksleivis“).

Through the time of the prohibition of bodybuilding sport in the Socialist Countries nobody even dreamed about the bodybuilding literature. The exception was in Czechoslovakia Bratislava issued  „Trener“ Magazine and the German DDR (Deutsches Demokratik Republik)  Weight Lifting Magazine „The Weightlifter‘s Training“ ( „Schwer Atlet Training“) which started to publish some information about our sport. During this time DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  used to give articles and contest information for these Magazines. Also for BEN WEIDER‘S „Flex“ magazine. All magazines used to publishe the DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS given materials. First of all it was information from the World‘s Oldest Traditional Bodybuilding Contest, the only one anual International Bodybuilding Event in all Socialist Counties, the „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis prizas“, „Янтарный приз», 1968-2017). The above mentioned Czechoslovakia „Trener“ Magazines were published by JOZEF MAZAK and later by MILAN PERDOCH.

International WFF-WBBF worked and still works on the documents and various materials of World‘s Bodybuilding History. The WFF-WBBF „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ Magazine started in English, Russian and Lithuanian languages in 1989. During this period of time the WFF-WBBF printed and spread through the World several millions copies of the Magazine. „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ is awailable at the National WFF-WBBF federations in all 129 Country - members of the WFF-WBBF International as well as at the most important World‘s International Bodybuilding and Fitness Events.
Main articles of the „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ Magazine were published in various Internet Pages, sport and public media, among them regularly in Spanish „Fitness Alive“ (Argentina, Magazine for South America and Spain), in German „Fitness News“ (Austria, Magazine for Germany, Austria and Switzerland), in English „Strenght and Health“ (UK, Magazine for England, Scotland and Ireland), in Russian „Zeleznyj Mir“ (Russia, for Russia and Post Soviet Russian Speaking Countries and etc..).
At the beginning a number of the WFF-WBBF Magazines were of methodical character. These Magazines were teaching the bodybuilders how to train from the primityve beginning to the Top Professional Level. Through decades the President WFF-WBBF International DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS collected and translated materials and documents from different possible sources, analised, evaluated and systemized them and finally presented as methodical recommendations for the sportsmen. That were a number of popular International Seria Magazines under the titles like “ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER recommends”, “Training Programs of the World’s Best Bodybuilders”, “Bodybuilding Stars Recommend” etc..). Ending the 90-ties of the last century basing on these Magazines a number of new generations of bodybuilders were born and educated. Wishing to have these Magazines in their collections the libraries of a number of Countries addressed the International WFF-WBBF Headquarters (like German State Library of Leipzig, Germany).
Today the WFF-WBBF „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ („Sportinis fitnesas ir kultūrizmas“, „Спортивный фитнес и культуризм») magazine has only informative International character but this makes it to be even more important. The Magazine covers most important World‘s Bodybuilding and Fitness Events and it gives true situation of sport on Official International Level, sets the goals of the sport for the future. Nobody else in the World does it, but the WFF-WBBF.
