July 4th I judged my first WBFF competition in Calgary.  It was amazing, interesting, tiring, difficult…….any many other adjectives!  We had 153 Athletes competing!!!!!  Amazing! The first WBFF competition in Calgary.  Annette Milbers did a phenomenal job setting this up.  She is amazing and had everything completely organized.  She is fantastic to work with.  There were 5 judges and then the head judge. I was sitting with some amazing talent.  The diva fitness model category had 54 girls!!  Top 10 pick was tough. Then getting to the top 5 even harder.  I was very impressed with the physiques and attitudes on stage.  We were comparing these models to those that grace the covers of Oxygen magazine.  For those women out there wondering what a fitness model should look like, compare yourselves to that of Annette Milbers.  Beautiful full muscle bellies, lean but not striated, proportion is everything, good butt (don’t let this go flat with diet!!)  My top pick placed second and my second place finished 3rd so I was happy with my choices.  Bikini model had another 40 girls.  Very beautiful!  We were looking for the Victoria secret body in this category and we found it.  The girl I had chosen as my top pick won!  Actually my top 3 were the top 3, so it re-affirmed how I was doing as a judge.  The figure model was a smaller category and broken into age and then into height as well.  I was disappointed with the overall pick for top figure, the medium height class gal should have won in my opinion, but hey, I am just a judge, what do I know?!?  Eva (Skonocavo sp??) was absolutely beautiful, proportionate, amazing, incredible stage presence.  I was disappointed she didn’t win.

In the mens category I was bang on with my voting!!! In each of the categories, both bodybuilding and fitness model.  Probably because it was a much smaller category with very little in the number of athletes competiting.  Disappointing, I wish there were more to stare at….opps I mean judge! LOL!  The men were amazing.  I loved watching the routines.  The guy who won overall was fabulous in his physique.

Amazing and an incredible feet for all of these athletes!  Very impressive and kudos to all the hours of dieting, grocery shopping, planning and most importantly the hours that went into the training.  Having competed before, I know the dedication this sport takes and no matter where any of the athletes placed, well done and deserving to all of them for getting on stage! Peace. J~
