Hendershott OUT of the 2009 Fitness Olympia
We just received the official word from Jen Hendershott that she will NOT be competing in the 2009 Olympia. Here’s the official release from Jen:
Graham, NC - Two-time Ms. Olympia and Ms. Fitness International Jen Hendershott will be a spectator at this years’ Fitness Olympia in Las Vegas.
“The fitness industry has been very good to me. It is time for me to give back. I love working with people who aspire to improve themselves. I will focus on my new supplement company PGN, my training program Get Phat Online, Phat Camp, Get Phat Promotions and the many other projects that I am currently working on. “
Jen has been a competitive fitness athlete for over 12 years. She is the current reigning Ms. Olympia and Ms Fitness International.
“I am not retiring but rather taking some time to work on the many other things that I am passionate about.”
This leaves the door open for someone to claim the Ms. Fitness Olympia title. Will it be Adela stepping back into the winner’s circle? Is it Tracey Greenwood’s time to shine? How about Julie Palmer? It definitely makes things interesting heading into next month’s event.
What about Sylvia Tremblay! I wouldn’t be surprised if she turned pro this year…
Sylvia has to turn pro first. Then has to qualify for the Olympia. So she’s not a topic of this conversation.
I know Tanji Johnson is been very busy with her SaveFitness Campaign this year, but I just met with her last weekend, and… SHE IS ON FIRE! Her routine is, as always, a POWER HOUSE and her physique is tighter than ever. I know she will be up there with Adela, Tracey and Julie as a contender for the Ms. Fitness Olympia title!
