Adela Garcia Switches To IFBB Pro Figure!!!!
from J.M. Manion himself:
ADELA GARCIA MAKING LEAP TO COMPETE IN IFBB PRO FIGURE
(But She’s Not Done With Fitness Just Yet!)
Two-time IFBB Fitness Olympia & Two-time IFBB Fitness International champion Adela
Garcia has targeted the 2007 IFBB Houston Pro Figure on July 21st to make her debut on
an IFBB Pro Figure stage. It appears that Adela will be the first IFBB Professional woman
to take advantage of the new ruling that was approved at the 2006 IFBB Professional
League Pro Committee meeting held at the IFBB Olympia.
The ruling states that IFBB
Professional women can compete in any of the 3 sports, bodybuilding, fitness or figure, at
any time during the competitive year. The only restriction is that they cannot compete in
more than one sport at an IFBB
competition that offers multiple women’s
divisions.
Adela’s reasons for competing
here are simple, it’s close to home, she
wants to branch out to holding fitness
camps in the Houston area and it’s 3
weeks before she steps on stage to
compete in the 2007 IFBB Europa Super
Show Pro Fitness.
The physique rounds
have been Adela’s strongest rounds in
IFBB Fitness and she has consistently
scored in the top two of those rounds in
every contest she’s entered since 2004.
“Everybody has asked me for years if I
would ever consider doing a figure contest
but at the time I did not want to make a
total commitment to just compete in
figure, which is the way the old rules
read,” Adela stated. “Now that the rules
have been changed I can give it a try.
I
have a feeling it won’t be my last time
competing in IFBB Figure and I think a
few of the other girls may try it now too.”
As you read, Adela is still competing in
IFBB Fitness and does plan to compete in
the 2007 IFBB Fitness Olympia. She
enjoys competing and feels that the new
ruling opens up fresh opportunities for her
competitive career.
