FALL OF BODYBUILDING.

Working since 1968 W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International unites today members from 141 Countries. Some time ago Bahrain joined the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. . Under the leadership of W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International seeks recognition of the U.N. (United Nations), I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee) and W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency).

We will not speak about other federations. Concerning real recognized sport their activities are of zero value. Zero... They have never been in real sport and they will never be there. What are the aims of these federations? Can anybody say? Why these federations egzist and what they want?

Since 1947 until 1969 due to the efforts of American BOB HOFFMAN (Robert Collins Hoffman, 1898 - 1985) through the F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) federation bodybuilding was an officially recognized sport and it was very close to be Olympic. Those who are interested in real World bodybuilding history can read in various languages historic articles on International Page www.wff.lt .

In 1970 F.I.H.C. General Secretary British OSCAR STATE created the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) sport federation in Belgrade (Yugoslavia). Until that I.F.B.B. was a private company. In 1971 again OSCAR STETE opened doors of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations)  to the I.F.B.B.. This way from F.I.H.C. the I.F.B.B. tok the ruling leadership of the International official sport of bodybuilding.   When in 1998 I.O.C. refused to support the I.F.B.B. and stopped it‘s support for bodybuilding sport and when WEIDER JOE and BEN brothers left bodybuilding and when in 2015 I.F.B.B. was split – then we saw in 1983 created JIM MANION‘s private N.P.C. (National Physique Committee) company on the International stage. Due to the efforts of RAFAEL SANTONJA and JIM MANION bodybuilding is no more sport today. Sport does not interest anybody of bodybuilding leaders – only money... In 2023 G.A.I.S.F. stopped it‘s activities and was closed. In 2023 W.A.D.A. stopped it‘s relations with the I.F.B.B..

COLUMBUS IS BACK.

Today the I.F.B.B. and N.P.C. make many festivals. Ones with „Olympia“ festivals and othres with „Arnold Classic“ festivals. These festivals have nothing connected with real port. We can say they are like “festivals of dancers and singers” but not sport. Fine – if bodybuilders like it. No International Official Sport Organizations see there any sport. No serious Institutions of any Country recognize them as sport. Long ago CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS  came to America and used to change various worthless things to real gold with local Indians. Now the N.P.C. and I.F.B.B. festival organizers do the same. Bodybuilders are fooled. They forgot the sport and started being “singers” and “dancers”…

Analysing today‘s situation we can underline that the „Socilaist“ bodybuilding of the eighties of the last Century was very close to the International Sport Standards and it could lead bodybuilding even to Olympics. Bodybuilders thought, made decissions and saw real goals in the future. The movement was based on the theoretical and practical works of the leaders of famous „Vilnius Bodybuilding School“ («Вильнюсская школа культуризма», “Vilniaus kultūrizmo mokykla”) CESLAV TAMULEVIC (Чеслав Тамулевич) and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ (Виталий Асовский). At that time contest halls were full of spectarors. Now nobody goes to watch bodybuilding competitons – they are boring and not interesting. Contemporary bodybuilders can only dream about normal relations with society. Comparing with that mentioned above time even today bodybuilding is at the very primityve level. Joining the „Western“ bodybuilding the „Socialist“ bodybuilding lost it‘s identity and was eaten by „West“ organizers.

We do not say that bodybuilders are stupid. Bodybuilders do not think and do not see the essence. Look around and start thinking!

1990 U.S.S.R. ECONOMIC BLOCKADE TO LITHUANIA.

D.D.R. BODYBUILDERS WANT TO RUIN BLOCKADE.

ECONOMIC BLOCKADE

Socialist Republic of Lithuania was a part of the U.S.S.R. for several decades. On March 11, 1990 Lithuanian Republic restored it‘s Independence. In April, 1990 the U.S.S.R. started economic blockade to young Lithuanian Republic. The blockade lasted 75 days. Most goods could not reach the Country. Especially gasoline and oil products.

THE BEGINNING.

Representing Lithuanian bodybuilding DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS during the „gorbaciov perestrojka“ was the only one among the U.S.S.R. bodybuilders who was skilled in several foreign languages. Meeting representatives of various countries DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with them about the political situation in the Lithuanian Republic. Among them were representatives of the German Democratic Republic (G.D.R., Г.Д.Р., Германская Демократическая Республика, D.D.R., Deutsche Demokratische Republik) too. That were the Germans: Jurgen Madaj, Otto Rudiger, Peter Bajerowicz, Joachim Hennig, Peter Butze.

EAST GERMAN BODYBUILDERS OFFERED THEIR HELP TO LITHUANIA.

A number of G.D.R. bodybuilders were great businessmen. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS told them about the economic blockade. The Geramns collected information and evaluated their possibilities. In May, 1990 they offered DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to address the Government of the Lithuanian Republic. Aiming to stop the blockade bodybuilders of the D.D.R. bodybuilders sent DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS a number of telegrammes and offered help for the Lithuanian Republic. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS connected with the Government of the Republic Lithuania and spoke with the Prime Minister KAZIMIERA PRUNSKIENE. The Prime Minister said „Lithuania needs no help. We will manage to solve the problem ourselves“. That was the end of the G.D.R. support to Lithuania. On Octeber 3, 1990 G.D.R. was ruined and joined the F.R.G. (Federal Republic of Germany)

VYTAUTAS LANDSBERGIS INTERESTED ABOUT HISTORY OF G.D.R. BODYBUILDERS.

Several years ago DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS spoke with the first Leader of the Lithuanian Republic the „Patriarch“ VYTAUTAS LANDSBERGIS. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS told him the story abot the G.D.R. bodybuilders during the economic blockade. VYTAUTAS LADSBERGIS was interested very much in the happening. He asked to give him the telegrammes which were sent to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. The archives of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) are really huge. Working on the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедии всемирного культуризма», „Pasaulinė kultūrizmo enciklopedija“) only now we found the G.D.R. telegrammes. This way we are close to the year of 1991. We will tell more stories about the participation of Lithuania bodybuilders in the Independence process.
