As Florin Teodorescu confessed in his biography, organising a Grand Prix at Timisoara was his life’s dream. A dream that couldn’t come true for years. At first, because he needed to promote his image. Later, because of financial causes. Why is image important? Because setting up a Grand Prix is not a job for anyone. You need organising experience. Such a competition requires management, marketing and communication resources. The organiser must be a well-known promoter, a reliable person with a clean reputation. IFBB only associates its image with people/companies that can keep pace with the prestigious brand Weider. And, of course, you need a lot of money. When he found the necessary financial resources, Florin Teodorescu had already accumulated experience as competition organiser (he set up over 30 events in 2006), and had been rewarded IFBB medals and honorary diplomas. In 2006, thanks to CS Florin Teodorescu Centre, Timisoara hosted another first-time national event: the first professional Grand Prix bodybuilding contest.
