The Reigning Fitness Champ is out of the Olympia
The reigning Fitness Olympia Champion, Adela Garcia withdraws from the Olympia after sustaining an injury. I had a chance to speak with Adela today and she is doing her best to stay positive through this injury. No one wants to see anyone go down with an injury, especially a champion. Other fitness stars like Julie Lohre and Tanji Johnson have suffered knee injuries and came back to do well. Expect The Chica to do the same after her surgery.
The 2008 Fitness Olympia lost a little luster today when three-time and reigning champion Adela Garcia announced she will be pulling out of the contest after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament.
“I’m out,” a disappointed Garcia said. “I’m so said. I was really looking forward to this Olympia It broke my heart, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Adela will be missed! But, I know SHE WILL BE BACK!!!
Gods speed Adela!
:( Get well soon!
The fitness side of the Olympia lost one hell of a star. But she’ll be back stronger than ever, no doubt about that.
Godspeed, chica!
We really, really will miss Adela backstage this year! She is an amazing competitor and one of the nicest, most caring women I have had the pleasure of becoming friends with in this sport. ACL tears suck, but I have no doubt that she will come back even stronger next season.
Get Well!!!!
