Bodybuilder Appears in Green Body at Local Championships


Bodybuilder Appears in Green Body at Local Championships

Body building champion Rashid Ghaleh Shahini painted his entire body green out of solidarity with the Iranian Green movement, when he participated in the Fajr body building champions of Western Islamabad province in Iran.

An Islamabad blog post reported: “Ghaleh Shahini who has in numerous tournaments, even on the national level, made us proud, appeared in these championships with his impressive body in the green color of the Green movement. The championship organizers, however, refused to let him compete and expelled him from the tournament. He could have easily shined at the championship and was visibly by far the best contender.

This is a continuation of a Green trend in Iranian sports since the green wristbands worn by the Iranian national football team during the world cup qualifying matches which led to the ousting of a few famous players of the national team.”
