Kiwi bodybuilders better than Aussies?? - Australia-bodybuilding Forums

Seems to be the way in the last couple of years.

NZ even had a top 10 finisher at the Olympia last year.

Another recent NZ competitior at the Olympia was Jonathan Davie.

Where are all the Aussies?

Is he from NZ?

That I have read [I don't know him] but was unsure. At the 2003 Olympia [I was there and have the DVD also] they list him as Australia I am quite sure.

He is listed in the Australian Profile section, if he is from NZ I need to double list him in the New Zealand Profile section then - which is what we do with those double typish people - put them in both

There has been a bit of confusion over this, but if you were to ask the man himself, he would tell you he still considers himself a New Zealander.

I think for the size of our population, NZ does have quite a few good bodybuilders (and figure girls) who would be quite competitive against the aussies. Shame there aren't regular comps that gets the 2 countries competing with each other more. Mind you, in Aus there's so much more federations and more athletes competing so they probably don't need the kiwi competition as well!

Well, I guess there has to be SOMETHING that the Kiwi's are better than us at...

Ah thanks, I better bite the bullet and double list him then. We need to be as accurate as possible.

Very true, Kiwis do well for a small country.
