The IFBB Pros will be heading to Orlando this weekend for the Europa Show of Champions. This year the event will play host to Pro Figure, Women’s Physique, Men’s Physique and Men’s Bodybuilding 212. The ladies are leading the way with the competitor turn out. It appears 20 women will enter the Physique division and 14 are headed to the Figure competition. This could change come show time but regardless it will be a highly competitive line up.
The women’s physique will feature a variety of physiques and if the trend continues look for the Figure and Fitness crossovers to fair better than the female bodybuilders. The figure competition is wide open but don’t be surprised if it’s not a battle between Candice Keene, Cheryl Brown and Ann Titone for the top spots.
