Huong Heads to Her First Olympia
I caught up with the shortest competitor in the Figure Olympia… Huong Arcinas. Don’t let her height fool you though. Despite being 4′10″ and taking the stage at a whopping 94lbs, she more than holds her own. Yes, you read it right Huong tips the scales at 94lbs when she is on stage. This weekend’s Olympia will mark her sixth pro show of the year. This mother of two has battled her way into the top five and narrowly missed the Olympia until last Saturday. When I asked her how she continues to compete for so many show she told me, “I love to compete and I do it because I enjoy it. I don’t like when girls talk bad about the shows. Do it and have fun or don’t do it at all.” Good advice for most anything you choose to participate in. Huong’s goal for the Olympia is to finish in the top half of the pack but is truly happy to be going. She says, “there are so many beautiful girls who are competing and I’m happy to be on stage with them.”
Good Luck Huong and great job of showing persistence pays off.
