Nicole Wilkins returned home, well not literally, but NYC has become a home for her competition success. Nicole returned to the stage where she made NPC history (winning the overall figure and fitness titles in 2007) and accomplished her goal – qualify for the 2008 Fitness Olympia.

I caught up with the IFBB rookie fresh off her third place finish at the New York Pro Fitness.
Congrats on the Olympia birth that is awesome! You seem to own New York. How did it feel competing in NYC again?
I love New York! I felt great going into the show. I was tighter than at the Arnold and I was confident with my routines. I knew after finishing the two minute routine that the show could not have gone any better in my mind. The rest was up to the judges.
Your first pro fitness show and now you’re qualified for the Olympia! How’s that feel?
It feels amazing! That was my goal going into the show! It makes all the hard work worth it!
Will we see you compete again before the Olympia?
Yes, I will be competing in figure for the next two shows though. I will be at the Pittsburgh pro in less than 3 weeks and then I will be in my home town in August for the Powerhouse Pro.
Thank you to my family and Alan, Kim Oddo, Maggie Blanchard and Cathy Savage!
Congrats!
Thanks Isaac!
Could Nicole qualify for both the Fitness and Figure Olympia? I wouldn’t bet against it.
