Bodybuilders from different countries will come to the "Slavic Cup" tournament in Vitebsk

Under the auspices of the World Federation of Model Fitness and Bodybuilding, the III International Tournament "Slavic Cup" will be held in Vitebsk with the participation of the strongest athletes from Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Poland, Iran, Pakistan, and Ukraine.

In Soviet times, the very term "bodybuilding" was actually banned, and its adherents hid behind the neutral definition of "athletic gymnastics." Meanwhile, what is wrong with the aestheticization of bodily beauty, which dates back to the ancient Olympics? Moreover, it is an excellent promotion of a healthy lifestyle. It is a specific sport, as in 5 minutes you have to show what you have been doing in the gym for a year.

As reported by Anatoly Pugach, Deputy Chairman of the Belarusian Federation of Model Fitness and Bodybuilding from Vitebsk, along with men, female participants are also expected, including those from sunny Argentina. Naturally, we will be rooting for our athletes, who performed very creditably in the first two tournaments. The leadership of the World Federation, headed by its chairman Edmundas Daubaras, is also scheduled to attend. Special thanks from the organizers go to the sponsors from the Vitebsk electrical engineering enterprise "Svet". Great assistance is traditionally provided by Sergey Pilatov, director of "Elekta" (by the way, a laureate of the title "Person of the Year of Vitebsk Region"), known as a great supporter of bodybuilding.

The competition will take place on October 26 at the Cultural and Sports Center of the Vitebsk branch of Belarusian Railway (formerly the Railway Workers' House of Culture). Such an event should not be missed!
