Mystro Clark knows how to make people laugh, but seldom has he had such an extraordinary opportunity to tickle so many funnybones. You see, Clark will serve as Master of Ceremonies at the upcoming WNBF Pro Natural U.S. Cup Bodybuilding Championships and Figure Contest (http://www.uscupnorcal.com/index.html) at the Crest Theatre in Sacramento, and it will be his job to make sure the audience doesn’t tire of the endless procession of beautiful semi-naked bodies. Fat chance of that, but you can bet that athletes and fans alike will be fair game for Clark’s ribald humor in this unique environment, and everyone should have a rollicking good time even in the midst of some serious competition.
Many in the audience will remember Clark as the American host of the syndicated series Soul Train from 1997 until 1999, handpicked by producer Don Cornelius himself. Mystro went on to become a film and television actor, and a writer for the show Cousin Skeeter and starred in many TV series such as The Newz (sketch comedy), The Show, Pulled Over, That’s Life, Lovespring International and The Shield. He also made several guest appearances on television shows, and has starred in the movies Chairman of the Board, Storm Catcher, Out at the Wedding, A Few Good Men, and the 2009 film Shrink. He also formed a music label, where he produced and released four projects including the album “Holy Water”.
But comedy is his forte, and Mystro has received standing ovations on HBO DEF COMEDY JAM, and 3 BET COMIC VIEW. He also appears on the Def Jam All Stars DVD series and can be seen live in theatres across the country or heard on XM satellite radio regularly. His latest comedy CD “Sexy, Funny, Bastard” is available online at cdbaby.com.
A native of Dayton, Ohio, Mystro attended the University of Dayton where he started DJ-ing parties with friends, and doing stand-up comedy. After winning a national college comedy search he was hooked on being a professional comedian. He graduated from college and worked as an Army Chemical weapons officer and Medical Technologist before moving to Los Angeles where, within three years, he landed his own TV series.
Mystro is ready for you - are you ready for him!?! Of course, you have to come to the show to find out, but where else can you enjoy world-class athletic competition hosted by a world-class comedian?

The upcoming 2009 U.S. Pro Natural Cup Bodybuilding and Figure Championships on September 26 in Sacramento will be enhanced by the presence of the one and only “Vadia” - singer, songwriter, and producer - who will open the event with her emotive rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
Although perhaps better known for her gospel singing, the Oakland native has the extraordinary vocal ability to adapt to almost every style of singing including jazz, show tunes, r&b, or popular music. One of five children, Vadia was inspired by the Gospel community at an early age. She began singing at age 5 and was recognized as a prodigy destined for great ministry through song.
Her musical skill has gradually and continually developed as a choir director, minister of music at her church, and as president of the California State Baptist Convention’s Youth and Young Adult music department. Vadia conducts her own annual gospel music workshop - now in its third year – and, along with her band and singing group “Predestined”, she has offered the Sacramento gospel community new and advanced instruction in gospel music as well as two great finale concerts in 2007 and 2008.
Vadia has been awarded the BMA Award for the Best Gospel Female Performance, Best Live Gospel Performance, the Academy of Gospel Music Youth Legacy Award, the Observer Media Newspaper Group 30 under 30 Extraordinary Achievement Award and many more. She has appeared on the stage with, opened for, or sang background for many national Gospel artists, including, Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, Tonex, Mary Mary, Douglas Miller, LaShun Pace, Crystal Aikins, Walter and Edwin Hawkins and many others. She has become the premiere “Urban Gospel” singer in Northern California and the East Bay.
Also a talented songwriter, Vadia shares her faith through her lyrics and by vocally creating an environment of heavenly praise and personal reflection. She is considered a representative of the Levitical music ministry. Vadia is currently working on her Sophomore 2009 project “The God Life” following her 2007 Debut CD “Exodus –The Way Out,” set to be one of the year’s finest releases.
This U.S. Pro Natural Cup (www.uscupnorcal.com/index.htm) is a WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation) sanctioned event and will feature both amateur and professional bodybuilding and figure competition. And Vadia.

International sports and leisure industry exhibition to showcase the ultimate in personal fitness levels through competition
Healthy business will be literally rippling its muscles at this year’s Sportex Middle East exhibition, as the trade show plays host to its fourth annual bodybuilding championship.
This year’s event, set to take place in December, will see increased competition, as the Emirates Bodybuilding Federation (EBBF) adds a third category to the fitness contest, encouraging athletes to enter for the 80kg,
80-90kg and 90+kg categories.
Timed to coincide with National Day celebrations across the UAE, December 6th will see athletes from across the GCC and beyond weighing in in readiness for a tough show of strength. December 7th will see muscles flexed as competitors go head to head to win cash prizes, medals and the coveted Sportex cup.
“The Sportex Bodybuilding Competition has fast become one of the prize events in the Middle East’s annual sporting calendar, attracting athletes from across the region keen to show off their physical prowess,” said Abdul Rehman Falaknaz, President of IEC.
“With the new 90+kg category we expect to see an even higher level of entries and look forward to an impressive show of strength,” he added.
Would-be competitors need to contact the EBBF to enter the competition.
Last year’s contest saw strong participation, with athletes from the UAE, Egypt, Iran, Bahrain, Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.
The winner of the under-80kg category was Humaid Reda from Al Ein Classic Gym in Iran. The winner of the over-80kg category was Zaher Makhl from Lebanon’s Unifit Gym.
The 2008 edition of the Sportex Middle East exhibition, held in early November at Dubai World Trade Centre, was the most successful event in the event’s six-year history. More than 3,250 trade visitors attended the event, which was endorsed by Dubai Sports Council and presented by Dubai Sports City.
Some 79 companies exhibited at Sportex 2008 showcasing the very latest in sports, fitness, health, outdoor and stadium equipment.
Sportex is supported by the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI), a world authoritative body for the sports industry and officially recognized by the IOC.
Sportex 2009 will run from December 6 to 8 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
