| New York Pro Show 2006 Hallo @ all , bin wieder back, hatte kein Internet einige Zeit und danach das Passwort verschwitzt für MC.de , aber nun bin ich wieder da und fange mal gleich an mit der : New York Pro Show 2006 an! Phil Heath schlägt ein wie eine Bombe im Profilager! 2. Profiwettkampf = 2. Sieg! Zitat:
Phil Heath has gone two for two in the IFBB pro ranks, adding the New York Pro title May 20 to his Colorado victory of last week. It was the most stunning pro debut since Flex Wheeler won four shows in 1993 and came in second at the Olympia, and although Heath wasn't as sharp as he was in the Mile High City, his physique was just too much for the other contenders to overcome.
Darrem Charles was runner-up for the second week in a row, and his disappointment was evident as he accepted his $10,000 second-place check and trophy. The Trinidad native was drier than in Denver, but still it wasn't enough in the judges' opinion to move him up a notch - when all was said and done, Heath won by four points.
In third was the sixth-place Olympia finisher from last year, Dennis James, who edged out a sliced-to-ribbons David Henry and earned a trip to the Olympia. James was not at his best, but among Henry, Charles and Heath, it would have been hard to argue against any of the three taking this show; all were amazing, and physique-wise provide much hope for the future of bodybuilding.
Repeating his Colorado performance, Big Bill Wilmore rounded out the top five. The Pennsylvanian, like Heath, was also making his IFBB debut in Colorado and New York, and although he didn't make the same splash as "The Gift," two top fives leave him nothing to be ashamed of - the 2005 NPC Nationals champ proved he has the goods to compete in the pros.
Among the other competitors, not even the stunt-casting of WWE wrestler Batista in his posing routine could help King Kamali get into the final posedown, as he finished sixth. New York's own George Farah and Rodney St. Cloud were seventh and eighth, respectively, while Jaroslav Horvath and Pavol Jablonicky, both of the Czech Republic, rounded out the top 10.
Promoter Steve Weinberger put on a solid, fast-paced event, and sold out the venue for the second year in a row. As the loud and expressive crowd proved, New York is still a hotbed for the sport of bodybuilding.
