ONCE AGAIN, AMAZON IS
LIVE-STREAMING THE
OLYMPIA TO MILLIONS
AND MILLIONS OF FANS
AROUND THE WORLD,
WITH INTERNATIONAL
HOSTS PROVIDING
COMMENTARY. DAVID J. PECKER
Robin Chang for helping me with
this transaction. I look forward to
continue working with all of you as
we move into the future.
Finally, I am excited to announce
my presidential appointment as a
senior member of the President’s
Council on Fitness, Sports, and
Nutrition.
Our purpose is to engage,
educate, and
empower all
Americans to adopt a
healthy lifestyle that
includes regular
physical activity
and good nutrition.
It is important
to know that the
council’s message
is about people, not
politics.
That’s why I hope
you will all join me in
spreading this
message throughout
your communities
and help us build a
stronger, healthier America.
For the 10th straight year, we
increased the prize money. Most
important, this year’s increase gives
the women’s divisions parity with
their counterparts on the men’s
side, and I am proud to say, it’s
about time.
This year, we’re hosting our
first-ever amateur competition at
Olympia for bodybuilding, men’s
physique, classic physique, and
bikini.
This gives all our amateur
athletes the opportunity to earn
IFBB Pro League pro status.
And once again, Amazon is
live-streaming the Olympia to
millions and millions of fans
around the world, with
international hosts providing
commentary.
