Arnold Classic

In this time, I'll talk about the Arnold Classic competition. The Arnold Classic will be carried out in Columbus, Ohio in february last week (friday 29), and march beginnings (saturday 1 and sunday 2) respectively.
Next, a little bit of the Arnold Classic history.

The Arnold Classic is an annual bodybuilding competition, named after Arnold Schwarzenegger, that takes place in late February or early March in Columbus, Ohio, United States. It is considered the most lucrative competition in bodybuilding, with a number of large prizes. Most notably, first prize consists of $100,000 cash, a Hummer vehicle, and a Rolex watch. The Arnold Classic rivals the Mr. Olympia in prestige and popularity^{[citation needed]}. Like most bodybuilding competitions it is always hotly contested and often only one or two competition points will separate the winners.

The Arnold Classic includes three competitions for women: Ms. International, Fitness International, and Figure International. It has also been expanded to feature gymnastics, cheerleading, dance, fencing, table tennis, yoga, martial arts, strongman competitions, archery, wrestling, powerlifting and many other sports.

The Arnold Expo is held in the Greater Columbus Convention Center, while finals of the bodybuilding, fitness, figure, and strongman competitions are held in the Franklin County Veterans Memorial Auditorium. Beginning in 2006, events in boxing, martial arts and figure skating were added at Nationwide Arena.

The date for the 2008 event is February 29 - March 2, 2008.

At the present time, the women has won an important position in the sports world. Before one thought that the men were the unique ones who could practice sports, but the feminine presence has demonstrated that also there is opportunity to excel in this competitive field.
The feminine athletes have been able to represent their countries in diverse competitions like the Olympic Games, world-wide championships, etc.
One of the most remembered female athletes has been the Rumanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci.
Nadia Elena Comaneci (November 12 of 1961) is an ex- Rumanian gymnast, (at the moment with double Rumanian nationality - American), winner of 5 Olympic medals, was first in obtaining the perfect score, 10, in an Olympic competition. One of the greatest athletes of century XX is considered and it is by own right between the best gymnasts of all the times.
To the fourteen years of age it was the star of the Olympic Games of Montreal. The Rumanian is the first gymnast who managed to take to the judges the perfect score, 10, in Olympic Games - before Montreal already she had received it 19 times, and in addition she would repeat six times more -. She gained three gold medals: individual general, asymmetric bar of balance and parallel bars, one of silver: general by equipment and one of bronze in ground exercises. Like peculiar data, when the qualifications announced in the electrical board, he appeared "1.0", since the system counted only on space for a whole number and a decimal.
