The 2006 Oregon Iron Man Bodybuilding Championships
The 2006 Oregon Iron Man Bodybuilding Championships was incredible! Ron and Sue Smith always produce a superb show! This year was no exception. 2006 saw more athletes, more guest posers, more audience participation and just more fun overall. This is what makes a bodybuilding competition first-class! Kim "Kong" Farrison, emcee'd the show in another stunning phat ensemble that rocked (see pic, right)!
The first guest poser opened with a routine to "The devil went down to Georgia", was National Fitness Champion and Oregon's own Nikki Crawford, who did a routine that would break any person's back. Nikki is one of the top champion fitness models in the Northwest. She can do moves like no other fitness athlete!
The next guest poser was the 2000 Ms. Olympia, Valentina Chepiga. She did her very own rendition of "All that Jazz" from the musical, Chicago, and it was a splendid job of muscle, grace, beauty and choreography. She's coming back to compete in the 2007 Ms. Olympia. So watch out girls, she's coming back to win!
The last but not the least of the great guest posers was Oregon's own bodybuilding champion, Sean Calder. This guy could have just stood there and made the audience holler, but amazed and impressed everyone with his awesome size and muscularity.
A special presentation award was given to 1986 Champion bodybuilder, Terry Fultz by Ron Smith for his contribution to Oregon bodybuilding and it was a great introduction to an outstanding athlete.
Another introduction was for Michael Kindred, who will be the guest poser at the 2006 Northern Pacific States Classic October 7th at the 7 Feathers Hotel and Casino. He will be competing in two pro shows this year and also will be getting married to his lovely fiancé Charna Johnson June 2nd. Congratulations Michael and best of luck in your upcoming shows.
Now, on to what we've been waiting for; the athletes!
