ISLAMABAD:-The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the International Fitness Expo (IFE), Arif Mirza has revealed that the biggest sports event in the history of Pakistan would be held next month August 2022 at Pak-China Friendship Center Islamabad under the banner of Amateur Olympia Bodybuilding.
“The the two-day international event will be inaugurated on August 13, as over 300 bodybuilders from top 80 nations of the world including India will participate in the event. Internationally Known Bodybuilders Roelly Winkler and Tom Coleman will also be adding glory to this event by posing as special guests of this event, “he added.
Arif Mirza further said that this would be a golden opportunity for the body building participants to win pro-cards in three main categories; Men's BodyBuilding, Men's Physique, and Men's Classic Physique respectively, in each category there is 3 pro-cards, the Pakistani bodybuilders who are deprived of such chances to participate in major events. “This is a great opportunity for them, to prepare well and participate in this event and by winning pro-cards make their way to Mr. Olympia, “he maintained.
“No body builder in Pakistan has won any pro-card. There are few bodybuilders with pro-cards but they are not living in Pakistan, more to that Pakistani bodybuilders have not made it ahead of Mr. Pakistan competitions, and there are no international level body building events here in Pakistan. But, now bodybuilders from Pakistan have this chance to prove their skills and move forward, also to step up from Amateur Body Building to Professional BodyBuilding, “he replied to a question.
Arif Mirza said, “I want Pakistani bodybuilders to have a competent place on international level, because we don't have any less potential bodybuilders but due to scarcity of opportunities they are lagging far behind, now to motivate them ahead is the main mission of this event so, this is why such major event is being organized in Pakistan, “he concluded.
