Paul Graham got the trophies. Can't tell you much about them. We won one for the best support gym. It was about 30 inches high. Paul said there was no time to present it at the contest. Nice one, Paul. A group of bodybuilders had a meeting at my gym several days after the contest and decided to form a new bb organization. We sent the trophy we won to Chris Dickerson. It read, " To Chris Dickerson,Mr Olympia 1980 from the bodybuilders of Australia". According to Randy Roach, Chris is proud of that trophy.
Found this photo. Not in good condition. Will look for the negative. Franco put on a seminar at our gym after the 1980 Mr Olympia contest in Sydney. Arnold was there. So was Bev Francis.Not a good seminar for bodybuilding info but okay for chiropractor demonstrations. Arnold took Bev for a short drive after this photo was taken. I suppose they wanted to know her secretto being so muscular and strong. Bev was the first woman to bench 300 pounds officially. She also posed at the Mr Olympia 1980 and the crowd gave her lots of applause. We were wonderinghow she would be accepted. No worries there at all.
Interesting. I see a T-shirt with a print that promotes Mr Olympia's contest in Australia on him. And in the middle.. Arnold Schwarzenegger. As if they knew that Arnold will compete.
is it the first time this photo is online? Arnold fans would love that fact
Yes, as far as I know. Not bad for a thread on Getbig.
to Nailon with a clause allowing me to make copies of the photos if I wanted. Two years ago I asked Robert if he had the negatives and slides. I was at his place with my laptop and scanner.Nope, everything now belonged to his son Scott who refused to let me make copies. We couldn't find the copy of the contract so Nailon refuses to uphold the agreement.
Why does this photo look shopped?
Here is the Muscle Digest cover of Arnold winning the 1980 Mr Olympia.I edited it a bit just now.
Unfortunately, they put the mirror version. That is the right arm, not the left
Why are you editing your original photos?
Nailon has my original negatives and slides. All I am doing is editing the copies that I have from covers published by magazines.In those days they didn't have much ability to colour correct photos. I can do that easier now.
vinceit seem convenient that all the famous photos you claim to have takenare not backed up by the original negatives
You are a persistent ignoramus and certified dope. Do yourself a favour and refrain from demonstrating your stupidity in my threads.
