Official list of competitors for “Arnold Sports Festival 2009″ was released on December 22, 2008. The event will be held next year on March 6-8, 2009. Sixty two athletes received their invitations to Columbus to participate in tournaments such as professional bodybuilding, body-fitness, and fitness. Jim Lorimer, one of the festival’s organizers, said that those athletes will amaze the visitors once again in this magnificent talent and fitness show.
Victor Martinez deserves special attention, as because of the injury he missed not only the Arnold Classic, but also the entire 2008 competition season. Will Martinez be able to show the same supreme shape as he did in 2007? Recall, that in 2007 numerous specialists prophesied for him victories in both the Arnold show as well as in Olympic Games 2008.
