There is no stopping Iris Kyle. Once again, she has won the Ms. Olympia contest, and four times out of the last five. It truly was no contest this year. Iris again looked great, and defeated Betty Viana-Adkins, Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia, Lisa Aukland and Dayana Cadeau, in that order. Between second to fifth, the scorecard was extremely close, and the final round did matter, when many say it doesn’t. Here are the complete scorecard results. 2008 IFBB Ms. Olympia Scorecard Results

Wow. Six IFBB contests were held in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Friday and Saturday, with two weeks left to go before the Olympia Weekend begins. For Bodybuilding and Fitness, this was the last time to qualify for the Olympia, and there were quite a few that competed. Melvin Anthony wanted to show everyone that he will be a force to be reckoned with at the Olympia, defeating Johnnie Jackson and Darrem Charles here, who took second and third. Heavy favorite Toney Freeman dropped to 4th place, while Joel Stubbs took 5th. King Kamali, who we predicted would do well, did improve from his last contest, but still placed 6th.

Here are the scorecard results. 2008 IFBB Atlantic City Pro Masters Men’s Complete Results Can anyone stop Tracey Greenwood? It doesnt look like that, as she has dominate the contest she has entered in the last few months, although coming to the Olympia, it is a whole new ballgame….

It was a good weekend in Dallas, as Toney Freeman beat Dennis James again in a rematch from last weeks Tampa Pro Bodybulding contest. However, Fouad Abiad placed ahead of an incredible Will Harris to garner that coveted Olympia qualification, which had Fouad in tears backstage with the change to compete in his dream contest. Another incredible competitor, Tarek Elsetouhi came on strong too, coming in 5th, and leaving Darrem Charles out in 6th place.

In the first IFBB Tampa pro show that I can remember that has been held in Tampa, Florida, Toney Freeman barely won over a muscular Dennis James to win the Men’s Bodybuilding contest. Just how close was it. At the end of the third round, Toney and Dennis were tied, and the final comparison and posedown round decided it.  David Henry, the winner of the 202lbs and Under, took third also at this contest, while Darrem Charles took 4th.  Two top contenders, are are poised to make a big splash in the coming months and years, is Fouad Abiad from Canada (who took 5th), and Tarek Elsetouhi from Germany (who took 7th). Thanks to Tim and Brandi Gardner, who promoted this event. Here are the compelete scorecard results for the two IFBB pro shows.

It was a great contest, with Brandon Curry winning the overall, while Curtis Bryant took the second pro card slot.  Edward Nunn, who won the Super Heavyweight class, looked like he would of had a great chance to get that second pro card, but didn’t, and he is now the favorite for the 2008 NPC Nationals in Atlanta. Grigori Atoyan, the Super Heavyweight favorite, come in 3rd. But Brandon Curry didnt have it easy in winning his class. Michael Liberatore lost out in the Heavyweight battles by ONE point. Yes, one point, and is certainly a lock to win his class at the NPC Nationals now. Lee Banks also looked great too in this class. Here are the complete results, along with competitor’s number, of the NPC USAs mens. http://www.getbig.com/results/mens/usamens.htm There were six new IFBB figure pros, each from winning their class at the NPC USAs.
