In another video of the incident, taken after Magos hit Marquez, the bodybuilder is seen stalking around the knocked-over judges’ tables while ranting about the results of the competition. Magos was caught on video jawing at judge Armando Marquez before slapping him across the face. Giannis Magos freaked out at the 2016 IFBB Diamond Cup in Athens, Greece, over the weekend after he won his 100-kilogram division, but failed to win the overall title, according to Yahoo Australia. Olympia title dead at 46Ī Greek bodybuilder was a little too pumped up after losing a prestigious competition, so he slapped a judge, flipped over the judges’ tables and reportedly pulled out his penis. Woman made over $13,000 selling her breast milk to bodybuilders But, if you arm yourself with a well-oiled fast-forward finger, such intrusions become as irrelevant as the intruders themselves, leaving the remainder of Winner Takes It All to stand as a pristine, near-perfect documentary of all that was ever ace about ABBA.My 'tree trunk' legs are ruining my sex life because men are intimidatedīodybuilding champion Cedric McMillan dead at 44: reports Who, after all, cares what Bono, Malcolm McLaren, Steps, and self-styled media personality Paul Gambaccini think of ABBA? Apart from Bono, Malcolm McLaren, Steps, and Paul Gambaccini, that is. Meaningless backstage documentation of the stage show takes up a quite disproportionate amount of time (and also consumes the only significant bonus material), while a handful of celebrity interviews add nothing more than the interviewees' own egos to the proceedings. Everybody remembers the flamboyant costumes that were ABBA's trademark through their biggest years, but who recalls the medium through which they first saw them - and how pioneering that medium was at the time? A handful of criticisms do surface, but they're easily dealt with. Other highlights include an insider's view of the string of promotional films that the band was shooting years before the rest of the world leaped aboard the video bandwagon.
WINNER TAKES IT ALL NIFTY GAY STORIES TV
Elsewhere, too, the story is told with an informative air that completely strips away the anodyne aura that generally surrounds ABBA, while the accompanying live and TV footage, though restricted for the most part to mere clips and snippets, unearths some fabulous performances dating back to the days of the Hep Stars and the Hootenanny Singers. Her reticence, however, only amplifies the heartsick ghastliness of those last ABBA years, lending the program an emotional coda that is absolutely at odds with the grinning togetherness of the band's early years.
Alone of the four, Faltskog declined to be interviewed for the show, preferring to continue living her life as a virtual recluse and allowing the film crew no more than a few minutes of camera time as she contemplatively went about her silent business. Imagination, of course, is all listeners do have for that scenario. "The Winner Takes All" itself is so close to autobiography that it is almost spiteful, and one recoils from even imagining what it must have been like in the studio on the day Agnetha Faltskog was first confronted with her newly ex-husband's handiwork.
The story's savage denouement, too, is the stuff of legend - how the two married couples who comprised the band shattered, then poured out their bile and heartache across a last fling of fabulous singles. A lot of the story, of course, is already familiar - even among avowed ABBA-haters, the quartet's blossoming from the almost-famous ranks of the 1960s Swedish pop scene through their triumph at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest and on to virtual domination of the mid- to late-'70s pop world is one of the all-time great rags-to-riches tales. Originally screened as a 60-minute British TV special, coinciding with the launch of the stage musical Mamma Mia!, but bolstered with an extra half-hour's worth of material, Winner Takes It All is a spellbinding trawl through the Swedish band's past, as seen - for the most part - through the bandmembers' own eyes.
