Bodybuilding fans are well aware of Arnold Amateur bodybuilding champions Roelly Winklaair and Essa Obaid, who both won IFBB Pro League titles in 2010. Fitness fans will soon know the name Noemi Olah, too.
Like the more well-known Winklaar and Obaid, Olah has quickly gone from the Arnold Amateur stage to the IFBB winner's circle by taking the IFBB Detroit Pro Bikini in her pro debut in September 2010.
Ashley Kaltwasser
Olah, of Hungary, qualified for the Olympia with the victory, and competed in the inaugural Bikini International at the Arnold Classic in March 2011.
Ashley Kaltwasser of Akron, Ohio, might be next next IFBB Pro League star to be discovered at the Arnold Amatuer. Kaltwasser won the Arnold Amateur in March 2013 and then earned her pro card at NPC Team Universe.
The seventh-annual Arnold Amateur IFBB International Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini Championships will once again include amateurs from USA's NPC and IFBB and competitors from throughout Europe, Asia, and Canada.
U.S. competitors in men's bodybuilding, women's bodybuilding, fitness and figure must finish in the top five at an NPC national qualifying-sanctioned event to be eligible for the Arnold Amateur. No qualifications needed for classic bodybuilding and bikini. Get entry form at www.arnoldamateur.com.
This is a tremendous and unique opportunity to secure a spot in one of the most prestigious professional bodybuilding shows in the world.
Arnold Amateur winners also receive two tickets to the Arnold Classic bodybuilding finals on Saturday, March 2, 2013 and will be recognized on stage and be photographed with Arnold. The Arnold Amateur receives a tremendous amount of national and international coverage from leading publications, offering winners an unprecedented amount of media exposure.
