We know there will be a new Fitness Olympia champ with Adela Garcia out but what about the figure? This year’s Figure Olympia is one of the most competitive line-ups in years. I’ll go so far as to say this is the most competitive line up since the inception of the figure. Who will win the title this year?
Can Jenny Lynn repeat as the champ? She’s had a full year off and adopted new training methods in her off-season. There’s a lot of momentum for Gina Aliotti going into this show. She was the Figure International Champ this year, but should be noted without Jenny Lynn in the lineup. She won the TOC last weekend and carries that win into this show. Jenn Gates is at her all-time best and won the Atlantic City show two weeks ago. Jenn will be much shorter than those she’ll get compared to but her tremendous shape will more than help her hold her own. Don’t forget about Mary Lado who won in Florida and looks to be on track for this show. Could someone else sneak in and upset all of these women? I don’t think so but never say never.
