Will Amanda Marinelli be the first to compete in three pro divisions?

[Siouxcountry]

Our member Amanda may be making history in Jacksonville in 1.5 weeks.

She earned her pro card in Fitness, and has competed twice in pro fitness and once in pro figure (Jacksonville 2009).

She unfortunately injured her knee, and couldn't compete in Orlando earlier this year at the IFBB Europa Show Of Champions.

She is now in prep for the IFBB Jacksonville Pro Bikini Championships.

I can't think of anyone else who has competed in three IFBB pro divisions.

Her last show was the 2010 IFBB New York Pro Fitness.

Oh how cool! I never thought about it that way. My passion will always be fitness! I just love watching the girls do their routines and I know from first hand experience how difficult that sport is. My body physically cannot take it anymore so I am going to give bikini a try!!! Sounds like fun and that is what this is all about!!!

Thanks for the support Sioux Country!!!!

Interesting, so at least three pro fitness competitors will soon have competed in pro bikini. Anyone else you can think of? Safiya Johnson is planning to compete with Amanda in Jacksonville.

I was thinking Jessica Clay had done all three. She is such a beautiful young lady. I have had the pleasure of competing with her in the NPC several times and I saw her in Pittsburgh at the Master's Nationals this past weekend.

I'm pretty sure Safiya already competed in Bikini earlier this year.

Good luck Amanda!
