CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO HONOR IFBB PRO SERGE NUBRET WITH ARNOLD CLASSIC LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The Item: Legends Update, Special Honors

The Scoop: Just Announced: A campaign has been launched to honor legendary IFBB Pro Serge Nubret with the IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013.

In part, the campaign leader's recognition request reads as follows:

"My goal is for Serge Nubret to be honored at the 2013 Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony. If you could forward this message on to Jim and Bob Lorimar or those responsible for making such decisions, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger. I have created a campaign... to spread awareness of this."

"I am responsible for the English translation of Serge Nubret's autobiography, originally entitled "70 Years Young" before he passed away... If this event goes ahead, I assume it will take place in similar fashion to the 2012 Award, posthumously received by Bob Kennedy. I can organize the closest of Serge Nubret's family and friends to be in attendance at the Arnold Classic and the award ceremony but nobody can replace Serge Nubret himself being there. It would be in honor of his legacy and all he did for the sport of bodybuilding."

The "So What?": As reported in "Andrew Oye's Pro-Muscle Report," actor, author, and legendary professional bodybuilder Serge Nubret passed away last year (October 6, 1938 - April 19, 2011). After serving as Vice President of the Europe IFBB federation from 1970-1975, Nubret founded the WABBA federation in 1976.

In addition to sharing the camaraderie of sportsmanship, Nubret competed against 7-time Mr. Olympia IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger in three IFBB Pro League Mr. Olympia contests in 1972, 1974, and 1975. Their final Olympia face-off was featured in the famous bodybuilding documentary "Pumping Iron," which also starred IFBB Pro Lou Ferrigno.

Past Arnold Classic Lifetime Achievement Award honorees include: Actor and Mr. Universe Lou Ferrigno, Hollywood Actor and Director Sylvester Stallone, Entrepreneur Ben Weider and Publisher Robert Kennedy.

Andrew Oye's Verdict: Serge Nubret impacted physical culture with one of the most aesthetic physiques to ever grace the bodybuilding landscape.
