Arnold Classic 2010

Where do I start?? On the 1st of March I flew to the States to watch the very prestigious Arnold Classic. To say it was inspiring would be an understatement! The main reason I went over was to watch and support 3 of the Pro Figure competitors. They are all competitors and people who I look up to in different ways , but at the same time there is definately a parallel. The parallel is that they are three super ambitious girls who are making their dreams become a reality , and inspiring girls all over the world along the way! Monica Brant , is an icon in the world of Figure competing , and has the most amazing physique I think I have ever seen. Angela Mraz is the 4 times Figure World Champ , and inspired me all the way to the World Stage myself in 2007 , and last but not least is the beautiful Rosa-Marie Romero. Rosa is our Aussie Pro Figure competitor who I am sure you all know of , doing huge things on the Pro Figure Circuit ; and is without a doubt the one to watch. She is rising to the top and is such an inspiration to us all!
The funny thing is there were 19 competitors in the International Figure Division , and I wasn’t even sure if all the girls I went to watch had made it through to the Finals until I got there on the Friday night. When they all walked out , the three of them were there and I was so excited! I just knew they would make it.

The elegance , grace and beauty of these girls and the condition in which they presented themselves on stage was truly amazing. They are at the top of their field and are the best in the world. I came back from the show so inspired and wanting nothing more than to be up on that stage next year in the Amateur Figure Division. The Pro Show will be my long term goal , and something I will be striving to achieve over the next two years. Truly , the highlight of 2010 for me. So happy that I was fortunate to go over to watch , and even more exciting was spending time and having pictures with them all the following day at the Expo. What an amazing experience!!
