2009 Ms Fitness Olympia Final Report!

ADELAWe've learned over the years that the Olympia titles are guarded closely and bestowed on only the most deserving.  When the reigning champ doesn't return to defend the title, the judges have the pressure of selecting a new face to join the pantheon of champions.  Fortunately for the judging panel at the 2009 Fitness Olympia, a 3-time champ showed up to make their job that much easier.

Predictions, Musings, and Babble on the Figure Olympia

Much like Mr. Olympia, the 2009 Figure Olympia contest is wide open and ready to bring some new faces to the forefront of the sport.  Reigning champ Jen Gates is preggers; Arnold Champ Zivile Raudoniene left for the WWE; Mary Lado isn't on the list (I don't know where she is), so it's time to usher in some new blood.  With over 200 ladies fighting it out at every pro-qualifier, there's little doubt the figure division is deep; even the rookies are tried and tested.

The Rx Muscle Crew Lands in Vegas!

OLYMPIADexter Jackson, Jay Cutler, Kai Green, Victor Martinez, Phil Heath, Dennis Wolf, Branch Warren, and Toney Freeman comprise the most anticipated Olympia top Olympians, since the infamous showdown in 1998 that began King Ronnie's reign. Vegas is battening down the hatches for the rest of the storm our industry is bringing, and that includes RXMUSCLE's wall to wall coverage of the O.  Be on the lookout for Jimmy "the Angry Bull" Pellechia and Jeff "the Producer" who will be roving all over Vegas getting into trouble and filming it for posterity. Add a little beer to the mix and I shudder to think of what's going to come out of that camera.  Whatever it is, I'm sure you guys will love it.  A huge thanks to Brutal Alchemy for supporting that cause, and sponsoring RXMUSCLE's coverage of the big show.
