CHARLES, KING OF CANADA   Written by: Greg Merritt   Darrem Charles won his second show of the year and racked up his fourth consecutive top 2 finish by taking the IFBB Toronto Pro Invitational on June 12th. Charles lost both the muscularity round (by 1 point) and the posedown (by 1 point) to Johnnie Jackson, but he easily bested Jackson in the symmetry and posing rounds to take the title by 9 points. Jackson was rejuvenated, bouncing back like a yo-yo from his worst pro conditioning at the Night of Champions to his best-ever shape in Toronto. Eastern Europeans Jaroslav Horvath and Pavel Jablonicky, both shredded as always, finished third and fourth respectively, and 'Space Mountain' Art Atwood rounded out the top five. Tommi Thorvildsen, in seventh, returned to the striated form he lacked last year.   FINAL PLACINGS   1.Darrem CHARLES* 2. Johnnie JACKSON* 3. Jaroslav HORVATH* 4. Pavel JABLONICKY 5. Art ATWOOD 6.
