WARRIOR OF THE COMMONWEALTH

OMG! Talk about a contest that has beautiful women, gorgeous men (in uniforms!), and is truly co-ed, as in the men and women compete for the same title! We are talking Warrior of the Commonwealth (Воин Содружества in Russian). The international competition, held in October 2011, brought together service men and women from Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ukraine. There were boot-camp competitions as well as on-stage competitions.  At the final ceremony on 17 October 2011, tall, blond Alexander Lemeshev emerged the victor, also winning the Mister Moscow 2011 title.

Dean Harris would have declared three winners - Alexander plus the two on the right!
