William J. Kroll Zirconium Medal to Peter Rudling, President of A.N.T. International
This award was established in 1975 to recognise outstanding achievement in the scientific, technological or commercial aspects of zirconium production and utilisation, and to encourage future efforts, studies, and research.
This medal is awarded to a maximum of one person in the world each year since 1975.
Peter Rudling is recognised for his contributions to the scientific, technological and commercial aspects of the metallurgy of zirconium through the development of ZIRAT (ZIRconium Alloy Technology), providing continuing education and consultation to the international nuclear industry.
The other side of Peter:
I have competed in several sports, e.g. when I was younger I was no. 4 in Swedish National Championship in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). However, I found competing in bodybuilding was by far the most challenging sport I have experienced. One has to have a mind of steel to be successful. The preparation for a competition is really demanding since one has to be on a very strict diet for more than 6 months (if you are in a very, very good shape form the start) and at the same time train several hours every day. This regime was specifically demanding for me since I also needed to run my company. I set up a goal to be the best in the world and in 2012, I got 2nd place, see film below.
Peter age 57 years old, 2nd place i Master World Championship in Classic Bodybuilding, 50+ years.
The year after, I won the gold medal, 2013, see photo below:
I am still competing, and my form is still good, see photos below.
