Title: Question for Chic regarding Atlantic City Pro
Post by: RagingBull on September 14, 2008, 06:58:11 AM
As the athletes' representative and a competitive bodybuilder, please educate us as to how and why the following competitors did not place ahead of Kamali:

Tarek Elsotouhi
Craig Richardson
Marcos Chacon

If the above contact you to express their dissatisfaction with the judging, will you go to bat for them?

I'm not Kamali bashing by asking...

Craig was too soft and maybe too small.  The other 2 I got no clue.  They looked alot better than King did to me but since I'm not a judge I guess that it doesn't matter.

Despite Craig not beeing at his best, he still has a much better overall package than Kamali.

I agree but I'm thinking conditioning was reason. I don't really know for sure or understand.  There were several guys at the show better than King imo.

1. I wasn't there

2. "go to bat for them"..? Are you telling me that this is the first time a bodybuilder thought he should have placed higher?

3. If they have an issue with the judging, I suggest they take it up with the JUDGES, or Manion....my job is to insure that the protocol is met...that they had enough comparisons, etc...

Apparently, the judges thought differently when they were compared

If you feel the judging is flawed, you should push for change.
