Last year, Flex magazine reported that Will Harris was retireing from competition, discouraged as he was by his poor showings at the 2005 NY and Toronto shows. Sadly, it seemed World was to fade away before he could fulfill his potential, like so many pros before him. Not so!
According to Flex online, Mr. Harris is back and ready to kick it - old school, no doubt. He'll be competiting at this year's Europa Super Show, casting aside his rocking chair and donning his posing trunks once more.
Will Harris, who is also planning to enter the fray at the Europa, welcomes anyone who dares distract him from his training ritual at Gold’s Gym in Venice, California. “People who say they can’t train in California because of the distractions are people who are too easily distracted,” he says. “I have my sights set on big things and I am too focused to let anything get in my way. My training has been as close to Dorian Yates’ style of blood and guts as you can get, and as a result I am growing while dieting.”
He continues, “Big Will will be qualifying for the Olympia, and will have several surprises for those who doubt me. I just want take this opportunity to slow down the rumor mill and let all everyone know that I have not retired. I’m about to be reborn and show the world that when I control my destiny, my nutrition and training, nothing will stand in my way.”
Off the top, you gotta love it when someone speaks in the 3rd person - seriously. Secondly, it looks like Will Harris will have another opportunity to make the impact he was supposed to make last year. He's quite a character and I sincerely hope he does well.
What say the lot of you? Does he have a chance?
