Saw Hany Rambod ath the 2008 Tournament of Champions on Saturday in Anaheim. He is doing well, as he was advising and training Desha Rodriguez for that IFBB Figure show that was held, with Desha coming in 4th, and just missing qualifying for the Olympia.
As for Haney working with Hide, as far as I know, currently he is working with Milos Sarcev, who would like Hidetada to compete at the Olympia 202 and Under show, but alas, Hidetada isnt qualified yet. As for a special invite, I think the lineup is set, and Hidetada would need to qualify for that.
Hopefully, we will see Hidetada at the 2009 Ironman, which is set for the latter part of January instead of two weeks before the Arnold.
Hany is training and advising about 4-5 competitors for the Olympia weekend, including Phil Heath, Jenny Lynn, Ray Arde and others.
Also, Hany and Kim Oddo should have a figure and fitness seminar on Sunday morning at Gold's Gym. This isnt for the guys, but for aspiring and active figure and fitness competitors.
