Jamor Does it Again
The 2014 London Bodybuilding Championships was held on Saturday November 22nd at the Centennial Hall in London, Ontario. This event was put on by Jamor Enterprises who runs some of the best shows in the industry. They always put on a great show and this time was no different. This was the third show of the year hosted by Jamor Enterprises and they just keep getting better and better every time. Now with the bodybuilding season coming to an end, this was the second last show of the year so athletes from all over the province were in full swing trying to earn their qualifications to compete at the 2015 Ontario Championships. The top 5 place finishers in each category qualified to move up a level and will be hitting the Ontario’s in the new year. This year had a huge turnout as usual with well over 200 competitors gracing the stage to show their new and improved physiques. There were many new faces to the sport as well as some veterans looking to re-qualify for the provincial championships. This show is usually taken place during a major snow fall each and every year but not this time. It was actually a mild and rainy weather which for those who come out to the London Show each year can attest that is usually not the case. There was a wide array of sponsors including GNC, Perfect Nutrition, Muscle Insider, SYA, Beyond Yourself, and Muscle Memory Magazine all with booths to display their products. Just like every year this was a sold out event with a huge packed to the max auditorium loaded with die hard Bodybuilding fans looking to view all the beef. Let’s take a look at the first place winners in each division to see some Canadian Muscle at its best!

Steve Kuclo Rocks the Stage
One very special appearance was none other than the favourite crowd pleaser IFBB Pro Steve Kuclo. Steve guest posed at the same venue last year and with the crowd loving his performance so much, Jamor asked him back for a second round. Always a crowd favourite Steve rocked the stage like an animal hitting pose after pose for multiple songs. Hell even when he was done his routine he jumped off stage only to run into the frenzied crowd to pose some more and take pictures with all his fans both young and old. The crowd was ecstatic and took full advantage of Steve’s out going and kind demeanor. This was one guest posing session no one will forget and Steve put on one hell of a good show. Here a few pics of Steve, but you can also look forward to a full gallery of him alongside the report which I know you will love.
It’s not Over Yet!
The 2014 London Championships went out with a bang once again. Jamor Enterprises never seems to disappoint in providing a quality event that runs smooth as silk. It was a fun filled night with Steve Kuclo taking the lion’s share of excitement from the crowd and giving back to his fans like a true champion. I would like to thank Tina Goinarov and Lori Ann Redding as usual because without their hard work and dedication to the OPA events I would be lost. Also I would like to thank Dennis Ong for his amazing photography who always seems to get the best shots in a multitude of poses. He has moved up the ranks fast to becoming one of Canada’s most sought after event photographers. Thanks again to Mr. Ron Hache, Ontario Physique Association President, for getting us the best seats in the house.
The last show of the season will be the Gala event held in Toronto, Ontario on November 29th. Just because the season is coming to a close don’t think that MD Canada is going on a vacation. Hell NO! You can look forward to some new “In the Trenches” videos coming in from all over Canada in the next coming months from some of the biggest and “baddest” beasts from the Great White North. Not to forget some hot ladies for the Digital Diva section as well. Not to be forgotten are some truly inspiration stories that you are sure to love. So until the next report train hard, eat clean, and take your vitamins because MD Canada is here to bring you the most hardcore bodybuilding content from your neighbour to the North!
