Thats what I'm saying.......'unfair' at the Europa
Of course I dont KNOW how she will place at the next shows.......but I just find it weird to be soooo much higher in a couple of weeks, thats all. No need to take it personal, Mr You were not the judge, were ya? Ok then....

And, excuuuuuuse me for getting it wrong by one place....16th sounds a LOT better

L.J

LOL. It happens all the time in each order. Some competitors place well in one show and terrible the next and visa versa. I'm not taking it personal, I have no horse in this race.

I was kidding on the placing, not need to get your thong in a bunch.

I got your point and merely presenting another side to the situation.

How exciting!!! I love the name Juliet.....even tho I got a few others picked for our next one

Girls are fun......You'll love becoming a Dad - nothing can compare to it. GOOD, good luck and let me know how it goes. How does your wife feel?

Hay Dios Mio!!!

That is why I don't like posting on this board sometimes

.. ???All I am saying is that I think Oksana can be at the Olympia stage this year or next year. Who knows??? I think she is a phenomenal athlete.

I wish her the best of luck and congrats on her new contract.

There are no mandatory movements in2 minute routine...only 45 sec...
From the rule book...on the IFBB Pro League site
There are several revisions after the original....Ammendments are found on Pro League website.

45 Second
"1. In Round One (RD1), each competitor is called onstage, individually and in
numerical order, to perform a 45-second fitness routine. Each competitor is
introduced by number, name and country.
2. The competitor must perform six mandatory movements (three strength and
three flexibility), in the following order:
a. Two one-arm pushups done in succession
b. Four high kicks (alternating legs)
c. One straddle hold
d. One full side split
e. One leg extension hold

3. The 45-second routine must be choreographed to one continuous piece of
music (no music changes)."

2 Minute
"1. In Round Three (RD3), each competitor is announced by number, name
and country and is called onstage, in numerical order, to perform an
individual aerobic/dance routine to music of her own choice.
2. The routine has a maximum duration of two minutes. The sound technician
shall keep track of the time and, at the two-minute point, will fade out the
competitor’s music over a period of five seconds.
3. The two-minute routine may be choreographed to one or more pieces of
music (competitor's choice).
4. The routine should include elements of strength, flexibility, dance,
gymnastics, aerobic movements and cardiovascular endurance.
5. Costumes and props may be used; however, the Chief Judge must be
notified, in advance, of the use of props."

There are only 5 moves in the 45 now since they removed the center split. And to clarify the "leg extension hold" is an L press.
As for as the 2 minute goes: The music must change at least 3 times in the 2 minute routine supposedly every 45 seconds and within each of these sections there must be at least one strength and one flexiblilty move demonstrated. The competitors are also required to wear either dance shoes or athletic shoes.

Alex,

Those photos are not a true representation of what the judges saw on stage. Thanks for reminding me though that, Susan Groschek (sp) has great symmetry and I like her physique.
