We have a few photos from the 2008 INBA Natural Olympia which was held today in San Francisco, USA. Top Australian natural pro Warren Clampit is leading the team of over 25 Australians in the highest level international level competition in the INBA. Next years INBA Natural Olympia will be held in Queensland, Australia from November 12 – 15 2009. It will be promoted by Jason Woodforth, and China will send it first team ever to compete, as it recently joined the INBA. This will mark the third time that the Natural Olympia will be held in Australia; as it was held in Perth [2006] and Melbourne [2000].

Samples from our small 2008 INBA Natural Olympia Photo Gallery, please click to enlarge. There are far more pics on Bodizone’s Facebook page here and photos of all class winners on the Naturalbodybuilding site here.

Edit Feb 09: Two Bodybuilders have failed the drug test, click here for more info.

Australian Tim Martin won his class and achieved pro status.

[We apologize for not having the full selection of photos - but we had an "issue". The website stated that pocket cameras were allowed, so we took the initiative to arrange for a friend in San Franciso to take photos but she was basically stopped quickly as apparently taking photos was againest the rules, so we only have about 25 despite our best efforts!]
