Thirteen women took the stage and as expected, Iris Kyle left Vegas with her eighth Ms. Olympia title. It was clear from the moment she took the stage that she’d leave the winner. Genetically, Iris is on another level. Debi Laszweski showed her in her best condition and finished in the runner-up position. Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia was in good condition however seemed to come in a bit lighter than previous shows. She narrowly edged out rising star Alina Popa by one point. Many felt Alina should have been in the mix and compared closer to Debi. Brigita Brezovac rounded out the top five and was just one point behind Alina.
