The first event for bodybuilders from Asia to get their IFBB Pro cards is being held in India. Bodybuilders from around the world have flocked to Delhi, the country’s capital city, to participate in the Sheru Classic. From those participating in the event, four will earn their Olympia qualification, and ten will earn their Pro Cards. It was not an easy journey to make the event a global success.
