ADELA GARCIA MAKING LEAP TO COMPETE IN IFBB PRO FIGURE, (But She’s Not Done With Fitness Just Yet!)
Two-time IFBB Fitness Olympia & Two-time IFBB Fitness International champion Adela Garcia has targeted the 2007 IFBB Houston Pro Figure on July 21 to make her debut on stan IFBB Pro Figure stage. It appears that Adela will be the first IFBB Professional woman to take advantage of the new ruling that was approved at the 2006 IFBB Professional League Pro Committee meeting held at the IFBB Olympia. The ruling states that IFBBProfessional women can compete in any of the 3 sports, bodybuilding, fitness or figure, at any time during the competitive year. The only restriction is that they cannot compete in more than one sport at an IFBB competition that offers multiple women’s divisions.
Adela’s reasons for competing here are simple, it’s close to home, she wants to branch out to holding fitness
camps in the Houston area and it’s 3 weeks before she steps on stage to compete in the 2007 IFBB Europa Super Show Pro Fitness. The physique rounds have been Adela’s strongest rounds in IFBB Fitness and she has consistently scored in the top two of those rounds in every contest she’s entered since 2004. “Everybody has asked me for years if I would ever consider doing a figure contest but at the time I did not want to make a total commitment to just compete in figure, which is the way the old rules read,” Adela stated. “Now that the rules have been changed I can give it a try. I have a feeling it won’t be my last time competing in IFBB Figure and I think a few of the other girls may try it now too.”
As you read, Adela is still competing in IFBB Fitness and does plan to compete in the 2007 IFBB Fitness Olympia. She enjoys competing and feels that the new ruling opens up fresh opportunities for her competitive career.
