Adele Garcia, Tanji Johnson, Nicol Wilkins and Erin Stern shine at Arnold Sports Festival 2011
Arnold Sports Festival, one of the largest sports events, is underway in Columbus and the events of Miss International, Fitness International and Figure International 2011 have been completed.
The top two positions in the Fitness International competition have been taken by both veterans and forerunners in the fitness division, Adela Garcia and Tanji Johnson. Third position however has been taken by Trish Warren. The other strong contestants were
Miriam Capes and Nicole Dunkin but they, with the new scoring criteria, have come down at numbers 5 and 10 respectively.
The top favourites for the Figure International, Nicole Wilkins and Erin Stern, have taken the first and the second positions respectively. However, Ava Cowan who was participating in her very first Figure International competition has stood third.
In the Miss International, IFBB Pro’s Iris Kyle and Yaxeni Oriquen Garcia have taken the top two positions. These two athletes have been working hard for many years in the top seats. The third place has been taken by the Miss Universe 2007, Alina Popa.
This was the first time when the competition had a different scoring criterion. Routine this time was the most dominant part of the selection. One third of the score was based on the Physique while the rest of it was based on the routine. This new criteria
helped many competitors who had a strong routine rather than their Physique.
There were some clear distinctions when the competition started. All the athletes were in their best form but a few were clearly visible contestants even from a mile.
The 2011 Arnold Sports Festival continues until Sunday and we will have plenty of more results coming our way. We will keep you updated with those as and when they come.
