Serge Nubret

Forse non tutti conoscono questo atleta che si è spento pochi giorni fa.
Un atleta del passato, dei tempi d'oro del primo body-building. Aveva 73 anni.
Tra i suoi successi:
* 1958: Mr. Guadeloupe
* 1960: IFBB World Most Muscular Man
* 1970: NABBA Mister Universe 2nd
* 1970: IFBB Mr. Europe (Tall)
* 1972: IFBB Mr. Olympia (3rd place)
* 1973: IFBB Mr. Olympia (2nd)
* 1974: IFBB Mr. Olympia (Heavy Weight, 3rd place)
* 1975: IFBB Mr. Olympia (Heavy Weight, 2nd) (Ben Weider, the president of IFBB, told Nubret that he could not compete because he was apparently "overweight", according to Nubret himself on the bodybuilding forums on bodyspace.com. This was 12 days before the IFBB Mr. Olympia event and for those 12 days, Nubret did not train and instead dieted and lost weight to be qualified for the IFBB event. He had lost 12 pounds in that period of time.) Ben Weider's account of this in the book Brothers in Iron gives the reason for Serge Nubret first being disqualified for the competition due to being in pornographic films. And in doing so had shamed the IFBB.[citation needed]
* 1976: Pro NABBA Mr. Universe
* 1976: WBBG Mr. World (2nd)
* 1977: WBBG Mr. World
* 1977: WBBG Mr. Olympus
