Finnish amateur bodybuilder Salla Kauranen

[AnneP]

I got an idea, that we could here in new forum section make threads of our European athletes:amateurs,becoming pros, pros, bodybuilders, figure/fitness competitors. Threads would be easy to update with news and maybe we could get more European competitors to this board. And at least I am very interested of competitors from other European countries so... feel free to start a thread with pics, infos and news of competitors from ur/other European country.

I start with one of my favorite amateur bodybuilders, Salla Kauranen from Finland.

Her career in bodybuilding:
2001: Class and over all winner in Finnish nationals
2003: 3rd in the Worlds, over all-winner in Finnish nationals
2004: 5th in the Worlds, Finnish nationals Champion
2005: 6th place in the Worlds, 5th in the World Games, Finnish nationals Champion
2007: 2nd in the European Championships

And what I have heard, Salla is maybe competing this year in the Worlds!

Looks like a very complete bodybuilder. Nice back she has. Also an impressive career.

Why is she not listed at Loaded Cup Anne???

Diet-brain Hakan;), what do you mean?

She has never competed in Loaded Cup and will not compete in this spring. The worlds in september is her next goal.
