Six women left Las Vegas with pro cards. Which one do you think will make the biggest impact in the fitness/figure industry? Cast your vote below:
The 2008 NPC USA Figure Championships are nearly upon us once again. There’s a number of amazing physiques and the competition will be tough. Some of the classes are loaded more than others and will be even more difficult for some to prevail. Last year Catherine Andersen took top honors in the show and months later found herself on the Arnold Classic stage. Michelle “momma” Flake was the 2005 overall winner who has gone on to grace the Olympia stage. Who will win this year and which class will provide the overall winner? Cast your vote below.
Recently I was talking with a competitor about modeling and competing. There are a number of great competitors as there are great models. I was stumped when it came to thinking of who would be coined the best model AND competitor. I guess one would have to define what a great competitor would be as well as what a great model would be. I don’t think you have to win the Olympia to be considered a great competitor. There are a number of great models who never compete or when they do place low. I would define a great competitor as someone who consistently places in the top five in every show they enter. This year names that come to mind would be Jen Gates, Felicia Romero, Gina Aliotti would be considered top figure competitors. Fitness great competitors would be Julie Palmer, Jen Hendershott, Tracey Greenwood, Adela Garcia and Kim Klien. While these women are amazing competitors not all of them find themselves gracing the covers of magazines. Felicia and Jen Gates have both had covers so I would venture to pit these two as your top contenders for the great competitor and great model. Felicia has had two covers this year and two wins which gives her the nod over Gates.
Is Felicia Romero the top competitor AND model? Who else should be considered. Being a great competitor and not a great model is not a bad thing, nor is having a prosperous modeling career and placing low. Post your suggestions in the comments field.
