2000 NABBA Universe: The Men's - Prejudging
"The Millennium Universe - with a record number of countries represented."
The Juniors were back again in Southport, with the debut of the brightest young star to be seen for years - Stuart Craig Core; Masters Division - as good as ever; 4 Men’s Open Classes, and the Professional division. They just get better and better.
84 men spread over 7 classes - in this PREJUDGING video you see the symmetry rounds, all the key comparisons, and the posing routines of all the men NOT PLACED IN THE TOP 6.
The Overall Pro-Am Universe was won by Eddy Ellwood. SERGEI OGORODNIKOV of Russia won the overall Amateur Mr Universe title.
Class 3 was particularly interesting. It later eventuated at the show that RONNY ROCKEL did not win this class. He was in outstanding condition and was beaten by a Dutchman HENK JON HEYNEN. No disrespect to Henk who the judges felt was the better man on the day, but I have not heard much about Henk since that day. On the other hand Ronny has gone on to compete in the Mr Olympia a number of times and has also won the 2006 Australian Pro Grand Prix.
