Following the 2010 Figure Olympia — which is held during Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas on September 24-25 — there will no longer be two rounds of competition. Instead, there will be just one — the two-piece swimsuit. That means say goodbye to the one-piece posing suits.

This rule has started, effective today.

Here is the latest memo...

The following memo was given to all IFBB Pro Figure competitors today, and it involved the elimination of the one piece swimsuit round. Effective today, only the two piece swimsuit will be presented. Here is the memo from the IFBB Professional League.

From: IFBB Professional League
To: ALL IFBB FIGURE COMPETITORS
Date: Monday, July 12, 2010

Subject: IMMEDIATE ELIMINATION OF 1-PIECE SWIMSUIT ROUND IN PRO FIGURE

At the IFBB New York City Pro Figure on Friday July 9th, several members of the IFBB Professional League Pro Committee were on hand, including Chairman Jim Manion. A meeting was called that included a quorum to discuss the immediate elimination of the 1-Piece Swimsuit Round in the IFBB Pro Figure. This will take effect starting with the 2010 IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships on July 17th. This was originally proposed to take effect at the 2010 IFBB Houston Pro Figure as stated on Advisory Notice from Tuesday, June 15th. All IFBB Pro Figure competitions from this date forward will only consist of one (1) round, the 2-Piece Swimsuit. This includes the 2010 Figure Olympia.

The first contest to be effected by this rule will be the Europa Battle of Champions Contest in Hartford, Connecticut on July 23-24th.
