STARS OF THE 2010
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS DONETSK
There were 20 category
winners at the 2010 European Juniors and Masters Championships
recently held in Donetsk, Ukraine. Some of them are already
well-known stars, some are stars of the future. Have a closer look
on some of them.
Olga Stepyna – young,
20 years old, fitness star, student at the University of Economics
in Dnepropetrovsk. Former high-level competitive gymnast.

technique. Also tries to work as a photo model. Her sport dream: to
be the European women champion.
Adela Ondrejovicova –
junior bodyfitness over 163 cm and overall champion. Student at the
Trencin University in Slovakia. She is 20 years old and this event
was her inaugural performance at the international level. Almost
perfect overall body proportions and body lines, fuller, nicely
shaped muscles. All bodyparts beautifully harmonized: calves,
thighs, lats, shoulder width. The real discovery of her trainer
Pavol Jarabek.
Liana Pall – European
junior women’s bodybuilding champion. Repeated her success from 2009
but this time it was a completely different athlete: matured, with
shaped, bigger and harder muscles. Her low and massive lats create,
with narrow waist, perfect “V”-taper upper body. She is 20 years old
and studies at the Physical Education University in the Romanian
city of Sibiu. Congratulations to her trainers: Ioan Curtean i Felicia
Popa.

his trainer Roman Ovchinnikov will make him a champion in men’s 70
kg division. Currently his bodyweight is 68 kg at 167 cm height.
Mykhailo Itchenko –

performing in bodybuilding mixed pairs (current European champion)

the battle for the continental title. She works in the position of

Krandiyevskiy.
Taavi Koovit is a

and the audience. He lives in Tallinn, Estonia, working as a trainer
in “Sparta” Gym.
Stephen Graham won the
gold medal for United Kingdom in masters 40-49 age, up to 80 kg
class. Stephen has been performing since 2005 but has never entered
the continental or world championships finals before. Now he could
participate in the masters division for the first time and he was
immediately successful. He displayed very proportional physique with
balanced muscularity and top conditions. He lives in a small town
Ballymoney in Northern Ireland and by profession is a mechanical
engineer. He is trained by Dr. E. Serrano.

2009 success, showing in age 56 prefect body condition and wonderful
