Flexonline.com has the prejudging pics up already. www.flexonline.com/news/62#Judging by those pics there are a lot of funky looking bodyparts in that show.... From Flexonline.com: In the biggest upset in bodybuilding history, Alberto Bistochi appears to be leading Ronnie Coleman in the Russia Grand Prix after the prejudging! That got your attention, huh? But seriously, coming off his sixth Olympia win, Coleman is a lock for first with Alexander Federov sure to be a solid but distant second. After that it's a toss-up with the judges calling out a variety of comparisons trying to determine who gets third and the coveted qualification for the 2005 Mr. Olympia. Poland's Radoslav Slodkiewicz, England's Michael Sheridan and Russia's Sergej Tsikunkol are all in the hunt. Kris Dim is not in his Olympia shape and may miss the top five. Also competing: Alberto Bistochi, Tommi Thorvildsen, Alex Tumashevion and Giuseppe Albi. |

Federov didn`t live up to the hype!! Ronnie is crushing him big time. I personally think Alex look`s terrible!!  |

What are some of those guys using for tan? Reminds me of the film Goldfinger.
Got to agree with you Tim about Federov, he's got the mass, but that's all. Those other pics you posted - isn't that the 3rd place guy Tsikunkol?

Gotta love Flex trying to hype Federov and next years 'O'....  " The first thing you should know about the Russian Grand Prix is Alexander Federov is for real." "Despite recovering from surgery for a torn pectoral, the 26-year-old Russian certainly has what it takes to make that posedown next year." "Team FLEX was there for the monumental rematch between Coleman and Federov" I truly do not understand what people are raving about with Federov. If size was the only criteria then Kovacs would be a 5 time mr olympia. |

Tim-
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one complaining that Federov "isn't all that."
I just don't get it. Other than his age and his size for his age, he doesn't impress me on iota.
In some of the above posted shots, I think he's going give birth to a pumpkin. Maybe it's his body starting to rebel against him. With such a young age, do you think anyone would consider a blown thyroid/kidney etc...... to be worth a magazine cover?
Some of these guys must be in dire need of attention.

This looked like a no brainer. Ronnie faced far better athletes in the O. No way he could lose this.
Federov could be formidable a few years down the road.
He needs to refine the mass and to improve his overall conditioning. He is well overhyped right now.
The other Russian looked good, and this qualifies both Russians for the 05 Olympia.

i want to congratulate Mike Sheridan for coming 4th and i do believe this qualify's him for the Olympia for the first time although Mike is a short BB he was ripped to bits and deserved 4th at last another Brit in the top ranks.....
i must admit i do agree i was a tad dissapointed by Federov his Abs and Thigh pose was Gastly...
but i di believe he has time to develop and make his physique better he is only 26.
he does impress me with the amount of muscle he has ok he does look bad in some poses but if Gunther can make the top 6 2yrs in a row anything can happen... ;D

Congrats to him on a good job!! I agree with the Gunter analogy as well................anything can happen if Gunter`s placings are any indication !!  |
