2008 IFBB ARNOLD AMATEUR - Page 2

#21 02-13-2008, 04:32 AM

I am anxious to see how the judging will go. There are a few international judges...and it seems the figure ladies over seas are harder and more muscular (I am a fan of that look for figure).

I just hope they like my package I am bringing...it will be my best yet! I am very happy with my progress this year...much more so than last season. Though I have had to do some intense cardio for my legs to really come down...

7 International judges, and 5 American judges.

I agree with you many European women involved in Figure in Europe are quite muscular, especially women in the NABBA.

It's always so hard to tell... Judges will always want something different at every show... "Always bring your best and know you did your all!!!"

This amateur figure show will be so interesting. We do prefer a bit leaner/bigger look here in Europe, so nice to see what will happen. I am so interested how will Linda Fodor-Egelstig place there. Because she really is one of the best here in Europe/IFBB worlds..

Linda one week ago:

Pics are from her blog.

Hi Anne!

Thanks for the update. I didn't know she had a blog. Where do you think she'll place?

**AnneP** · #26 02-15-2008, 05:37 AM

Impossible to say, because I do not have no idea of others who are competing..

Of course hope best for her. What I have followed Lindas career, I am sure she will bring awesome condition, good v taper, great stage presentation and everything else I like in figure girl..

...damn I am gonna miss my job interview because reading this board. Gotta hurry now ...

Just gotta to say that Ondreas gluteus is something from heaven

Condition is also looking good, you ll do it so fine!

Linda will definitely fight in top 5. Took a look at the list of competitors. There is in B class name Pia Jansson from Norway. Unfortuntaly she will not do Arnold amateur.. I would loved to see her in that line up, one of my amateur favorites..

The girl in the left..

PS. Sioux, the interview was awful, 40 minutes of tough questions... Hope I' ll get it.

No injurys, so nothing serious happened. She wrote in her blog of some reasons, why not to do the show. One was that does not have time/money to do it, because she really wants to focus on European Championships and the Worlds this year..

**ripitupbaby** · #32 02-15-2008, 02:23 PM

Wow, the Europeans prefer more muscular and harder physiques in Figure...the ladies look AWESOME. Linda looks great, I would think she would be Top 5 for sure.

This is one tough lineup for an Amateur show. Is this show a National Qualifier?

#33 02-15-2008, 02:25 PM

it is...and I'll be curious to see how these physiques fall b/c you have the mix of judges and nationalities and regions and blah blah...could be an interesting shuffle...

I just know I'll be going for anyone from NC baby!

I honestly agree her physique is ridiculous and shes beauitful.

Hi Lori, it is not a national qualifier because being NQ already (top five) ended up being a cut-off to get in. So it's more like a national level show but without pro cards.
