It was a nail biter at the 2011 Europa Show of Champions Figure competition last weekend in Hartford, Connecticut. Gen Strobo notched another pro win to her credit beating out a competitive group of up and comers. Strobo has a fast metabolism and many times comes in too stringy. She found the winning formula this time as she came in round and full. Jelena Abbou was at her all time best and had her sights set on returning to the Olympia stage. She managed to do that and narrowly missed her first pro win by one point. We might see Jelena on stage again before the Olympia rolls around.
While Strobo and Abbou battled it out for first and second a similar battle took place for the third and final Olympia qualification. Holly Beck edged out rookie Chikondi Mseka by one point to take home third. Chikondi made her pro debut here and showed that she will be a force to be reckoned with in the future. Gina Trochiano rounded out the top five in the field of seventeen IFBB Figure Pros.
