Liberty Cup - Vasile Balmus Memorial Over a thousand Romanians
died in the December 1989 revolution, killed by the communist oppressors.
Among the people whose blood was shed in 1989 were also sportsmen who came
in the streets to breathe the fresh air of freedom. One of the heroes who
were shot and died before they had the chance to taste freedom was the
bodybuilder Vasile Balmus, Florin Teodorescu’s friend and colleague. “He
was standing near me on December 17th”, recalls Florin. “We
had to rush asunder to hide from the gun shots. I heard a bullet. He fell
down beside me. There was nothing I could for him in that moment. Nobody
could have done anything for him. In memory of my friend, who did not have
the chance to grow old, because he died at only 25, I initiated the Liberty
Cup – Vasile Balmus Memorial, the most important competition for amateurs
in Romania”, as proved by the great sportsmen who take part
in it every year – world and European champions, multiple national and
Balkan champions – and the value of the awards, which has exceeded 10,000
euro. First-rate world bodybuilders, several Mr. Olympia laureates included
(a first-time event in Romania), have honoured the Liberty Cup with their
professional demonstrations.
