1986 WABBA World Championships - Mr. & Miss World
Digital Download.
Amateur & Professional
Kursaal, Bern, Switzerland October 30-31, 1986
The 1986 WABBA World Championships was one of the greatest ever WABBA World Championships. Apart from the amazing standards in both the Amateur and Professional Classes, the star guest poser was 1983 Mr. Olympia Samir Bannout. Samir was in sensational form and delighted the huge crowd.
In the Amateur Class Men's Overall posedown, it was the rugged muscularity, symmetry and hard condition of the Frenchman, Nordine Zouareg, that prevailed in the end.
For the Overall Women's title, it was the battle of the Italians with the size, shape, class and style of Patricia Lo Coco being too much on the day for the elegant Anna Gileno. Future champion Sylvie Esmenjaud of France had to settle for 4th in her class.
In the Men's Pro Class, it was a very close decision between old NABBA Universe rivals in Thierry Pastel - France and Pierro Venturato - Italy for the top award. Finally it was the rugged physique and massive arms of Thierry Pastel swaying the judges his way for first place.
The Pro Women's class was won by the sensational Claudia Profanter of Italy, a future Ms. Olympia competitor. Claudia had the complete package of shape, style, condition, beauty and charisma.
