| Among
the sports that attract the most competitors and spectators is bodybuilding.
At the Gay Games as elsewhere, the bodybuilding competition is dominated
by American athletes.
They
compete in categories of age (under-21, seniors, masters), of gender,
of weight and/or height, as individuals and in pairs (same-sex and
mixed).
At
Amsterdam games in 1998, French athletes competed for the first
time in bodybuilding. The team included only two competitors, but
brought Team France a bronze medal in the Masters over-50 category.
At
the most recent games in Sydney in 2002, there were four members
of Le Coq Musclé present, and once again we returned with
a medal, a silver in the Masters over-50 tall class.
