Weider's Grand Prix of Romania 2006
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.
