It wasn't quite the swansong Hawke's Bay bodybuilder Gary Nairn wanted but he was still a happy man last night.
"I know I was hoping for a top six finish but the calibre was so high - a lot higher than my previous Universe Champs and the two world championships I competed in I couldn't be happier," said Nairn who ended his 10-year bodybuilding career at the Germany-hosted champs with a 10th placing.
Nairn, 37, was in a 20-strong class at the champs which attracted 200 competitors.
The Reignier Catholic School teacher had earlier this year won the national title, a Pro-Am international competition in the and Mr Hawke's Bay and Mr Wellington titles.
"I came over here in the best shape of my career and I know I couldn't have done any more," he added.
Nairn plans to train bodybuilders.
