1996 NABBA World Championships: Women & Couples
Prejudging & Show.

Held in the magnificent Liederhalle Congress Centre, Stuttgart, Germany in June 1996, the world’s best male and female bodybuilders competed for glory. The women competed in five different classes including couples. This is a 109 minutes extravaganza of 49 incredible women, battling for the titles of best in the world!

The women’s DVD presents Figure, Physique and Couples, and you will see all the lineups, plus two sets of round 3 compulsories per class. Then the posing routines of every competitor, including the 6 couples, through to the final awards. This was the best women’s lineup ever seen at the Worlds, with many countries represented.

New Zealand won their first ever World Bodybuilding title with Billie Kaine victorious in her class. (Pictured upper front cover).  Probably one of the biggest surprises was French Figure Class star Brigitte Crepieux placing only 8th in her class.

The Overall winner for the Women’s Physique title was a sensational Cinzia Campeis of Italy. Beautiful blonde Isabelle Streit of France (pictured lower front cover) just edged out Australia’s Pina Theodoridis for the overall Women’s Figure title. (Pina is pictured rear cover)
