Ms Fitness Olympia is the only title Kim Scheideler has yet to notch in her impressive pro resume. She’s won the Fitness International two years in a row and has been the bridesmaid in the Olympia three years in a row. Will she keep her winning streak alive and make it two for two in show outings this year? Many feel it is a two person race between her and Jen Hendershott. The reigning champ Adela Garcia will be watching from the sidelines this year with an injury. This leaves the door open for a new champ in 2008.

Who besides Jen Hendershott has a chance at the title? And don’t say everyone. 🙂
I’m sorry to say but it can be anyone. Whoever has the best overall package will be the winner and you never know who will look the best until the day of the show.
What are three reasons why you’ll be the next Fitness Olympia?
I don’t know of 3 reasons why I should be the next Fitness Olympia but I know that I work hard and all I do is my best and if my best is the day of the show than I will be the next Fitness Olympian. My goals were to win the Fitness International, which I have done 2 years in a row, and to win the Fitness Olympia. So this is my last goal to accomplish.
Has your personal life made it a distraction for this show or helped you focus more?
It has helped and it has hurt me. I have many ups and downs in my life right now which at times makes me push harder and than at times make it much harder to continue. So I am only doing my best with the situations I’m in.
What can we expect to see different from the Arnold out of you?
I’m hoping to look the same, physique wise but I have a new music and new routine that is just packed.
Any chance of you retiring if you win the O this year?
I have always taken one show at a time. So I will make that decision after the Olympia.
Thanks Kim and Good Luck this weekend.
