Flavio Baccianini is a bodybuilder who competed for twenty-six years at 147 cm, which makes him one of the shortest men on the professional record. He won the World Championships in 1983 and reached the Mr. Olympia a decade later.
Known for
The 1983 World Championships title, the only win on his record, and the 1993 Mr. Olympia, where he placed thirteenth. Between them he moved from the short and bantamweight classes into open competition and stayed there.
Early career
His record opens in 1982 in the short class, moves to bantamweight in the late 1980s, and runs through the open class from 1991 to 2003 before a final lightweight appearance in 2008. Twenty of his twenty-seven recorded contests are professional.
