Classic Ageless Beauty: NPC Bikini Athlete Angela Leong

DSC_0321Through the relatively short life span of NPC Bikini, spectators and fans alike have watched the sport explode in competitive numbers and in general interest.  With each passing show the new Division is growing in support from not only the NPC fan base but also from the general public.  When first introduced the general consensus among athletes and fans alike was that the Bikini Division would only attract women in their late teens and twenties.  After all, a woman in her thirties could not possibly be able to stand toe to toe with a young lassie in a Division called Bikini.

Contrary to these predisposed opinions the Bikini Division not only transcended the thirty-year-old barrier but also the forty-year-old barrier as well.  Women like IFBB Bikini Pro Dr. Khanh Nyugen (42) & IFBB Bikini Pro Patricia Valenti (48) are living examples that not only can women over thirty or forty go toe to toe with twenty year olds, they can win.

Meet Rising NPC Bikini star Angela Leong from Portland Oregon, Angela at the age of 38 has already made a mark on the National NPC stage placing 2nd at the 2009 Jr. Nationals, won the 2010 NPC Oregon State Bikini Championships and recently won the Tall Class at the 2010 NPC Master Nationals.

NPC Bikini Athlete Samantha Morris: North Americans Bound

IMG_2265The Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida is at it again.  This small stretch of Interstate between Daytona Beach and Tampa Florida has produced eight IFBB Pro Bikini Athletes in the last 15 months.  This interstate is creating quite an impact on the IFBB ranks and still producing rich Bikini talent.

Meet rising National NPC Bikini Athlete Samantha Morris from Tampa, FL.  Samantha, known by Sam to her friends broke on to the NPC scene last year when she competed in a few Florida local NPC events and took the overall Bikini title.  This year Sam turned her attention to the National stage and her impressive stats tell you that her Pro Card is well within reach.  This year alone, Sam has placed first in the F Class at Junior Nationals & 2nd at the USA Championships in Vegas.

Trading In The NFL For Bikini: Jennifer Andrews Road To The Pro Bikini Ranks

DSC_0280 copy copyIn the very short lifespan of NPC Bikini, one would have to say that the NFL has been very good to the Division.  Case in point, IFBB Pro Bikini Athlete Jessica Jessie was a former Washington Redskins Cheerleader and IFBB Pro Bikini Athlete Janet Harding cheered for over ten years for the Philadelphia Eagles.

What makes the former NFL Cheerleaders such a success on the NPC stage is a combination of factors.  First, the women are beautiful and no stranger to competition when you consider thousands audition for a spot on a squad.  They also already have successfully learned how to maintain their physical fitness level through nutrition and exercise and they have diligently practiced their presentation skills.  These women have no stage fright, know how to look their best and they exude “FUN”.  With these tools already in place, sculpting their bodies and presentation skills to meet the requirement of the NPC Bikini Division is second nature to them.

Meet NPC Bikini Athlete Jennifer Andrews.  Jennifer, who resides in the State of Kentucky, is a former Cincinnati Bengal Cheerleader who has now turned her attention to the NPC Bikini Division in quest of her IFBB Pro Card.

2010 Europa Supershow Figure, Fitness & Bikini Preview

europa 09This weekend the bodybuilding and fitness industry will descent upon Dallas Texas for the Europa Supershow, an affair that has become one of the premier events of the summer. Promoters Ed and Betty Pariso pull out all the stops in the third of their Europa pro-am shows; the Dallas Supershow being the original and in their home state of Texas -  so expect nothing but the best for athletes and fans alike. The Dallas Convention Center will host a huge expo with plenty of events to compliment the action on the IFBB stage. For the ladies of figure, this is the last chance to qualify for the Olympia and we will have what I expect to be the biggest line-up of the season with 35-40 IFBB Figure Pros taking the stage. This is also the final chance for fitness competitors to receive an Olympia invite, and with increasingly fewer fitness shows each year, the Supershow has become grounds for an intense fitness competition. Last but not least, the IFBB Bikini Pros will have two shows after this leading up the Olympia, but none as deep and prestigious as the Europa Supershow.

Beth Polisson: "I'm not in competition with anybody but myself..."

3"I'm not in competition with anybody but myself. My goal is to beat my last performance."


Who would think that a quote from Celine Dion could be used when speaking on the world of physique competition? But this simple quote perfectly sums up how Beth approaches anything in life. Whether it was work, school, or sports, Beth always took the position of achieving the absolute best. No settling. No wondering. No what-ifs. So it was no surprise when she waltzed out onstage at the 2010 NC States and won her class in her very first figure show. Now she's set to take on the big dogs as she heads towards her first national level show in the NPC Junior USAs.






JACKSONVILLE PRO FIGURE & BIKINI REPORT

CandiceAliTonight’s Jacksonville Pro Show proved to be the most hotly contested IFBB Figure and Bikini competitions of the year thus far. 35 figure pros and 18 bikini pros came out to fight for a top 3 placing and the Olympia invite that comes with it. With the Olympia weekend just seven weeks away, the opportunities to earn a bid are getting scarce and everyone without a ticket to Vegas is coming to battle.

 

While the weather was balmy and wet, promoter Dexter Jackson made the humidity a secondary consideration with his top notch accommodations and show venue. The show was quick, efficient, and everyone from the fans, to the judges, to the media was able to enjoy the show. With the intangibles all lined up by Dex, it was time for the competitors to make the show worthwhile and they did not disappoint.
