June 17 & 18, 2011



Toronto -- February 24, 2011 -- The largest IFBB bodybuilding, figure, fitness and bikini pro show, and the first extreme sport expo, ever held in Canada is coming to Toronto this Spring. Bursting onto the scene, the first Toronto Pro SuperShow is opening its doors June 17 and 18th, 2011 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. It will be a showcase of everything fitness -- from vendors, demonstrations, shows and seminars, to world-class competitions.

Anchoring the show will be Canada's largest Fitness Expo -- a show floor of 70,000 square feet featuring everything related to health and fitness. Highlighting the show will be the very popular and anticipated events of both Amateur OPA and Professional IFBB bodybuilding, fitness, figure and bikini competitions. Mix it together with strongman, weightlifting, boxing and armwrestling competitions, and you have the largest event of its kind in Canadian history!

With only a $10 admission fee, the Fitness Expo will cater to fitness enthusiasts' every need with more than 100 booths related to fitness and competition apparel, fitness equipment, skin and body care products and services, healthy food options, supplements, fitness programs and more.

The competitions will take place in two locations: the Expo Stage will host men's and women's events, which are included with admission. The John Bassett Theatre, located within the Convention Centre, will host additional men's and women's competitions that require separate tickets.

"Visitors will bear witness to active living, skill testing and self-motivation to the fullest, which will hopefully influence their own passion towards a more active lifestyle and positive environment," said Ron Hache, President, Ontario Physique Association.


What makes this event unique?

Never before in Canada has there been a consumer show that combines the promotion of fitness and a healthy lifestyle, with the competition of extreme and combative sports. The common denominators among the two focus on active living, passion, motivation, competitive skill testing, personal fulfillment and camaraderie.

For the first time:
· professional and amateur athletes will be competing side by side -- with competitors from the Ontario Physique Amateur bodybuilding, figure, fitness and bikini categories competing alongside IFBB pros.
· youths will be competing in arm wrestling, boxing, fitness, kickboxing and weight lifting alongside veterans of competition.
· the IFBB Professional 202 (under 202 pounds) men's bodybuilding, fitness, and figure competitions, as well as women’s bodybuilding and bikini competitions will be stepping onto a Canadian stage; and-
· the show will host the first North American professional strongman competition where Canadian and World Champion Hugo Girard will have created a team to battle it out with the USA team. Canada versus USA!

With so many celebrities from the extreme sports world under one roof, this Expo will be filled with excitement that is not to be missed.
Tickets go on sale March 1st on the Toronto Pro SuperShow web site at www.TorontoProSuperShow.com.

Merci d'avance

Craig Richardson devant Lionel à New York c'était une belle blague.
La vidéo que Mike Pulcinella l'a bien propulsé politiquement.
ICI à Toronto Eric Favre semble être LE sponsor principal de l'événement, Lionel part déjà gagnant.
Avec le fait qu'il ai le "hype" ou "momentum" appelé ça comme vous voulez ... tout le monde parle que de lui sur les forums, c'est la sensation du moment.
Il a juste à arriver tel que à New York ou mieux enlever un 500g d'eau, et la 1ère place est pour lui.
EN tout cas je vais pour le supporter, je suis à fond derrière lui !!
S'il voudra bien je prendrai pas mal de photos de lui, s'il est d'accord que je poste ça.

fan de lionel et il est un exemple de réussite de haut niveau français masse ligne il fait vraiment fort cette annee mais cela se voyai kil avai du potentiel a revendre cela a fini par payer!!!!!!!!!!!
