Bikini Olympia results;

1. Ashley Kaltwasser

2. Yeshaira Robles

3. Stacey Alexander

4. Nathalia Melo

6. Amanda Latona

Honestly, I wanted to cry this morning All the bikini finalists looked great as always..but how it is possible to place Nathalia 4th?! And Latona 6th?!!!!! I am so shocked! I was sure to see Anna Virmajoki in finals also..I really think she deserves the place there. Really, not that I have anything against the winners, just I am so surprised...

Oh, I so wanted Kai to win but damned, Phil's detail is just unbeatable.

I wanted to cry too. Imo there were so many many better girls. Not big differences but I just like more athletic look. Anna was obviously a bit too soft, looked great as always though.

Never been a fan of Jay but TOP 8 would be a great result with this package, not any successful comeback. :/

(this is from numerical comparisons)

Wolf looks great and my opinion can even took 2 nd place....

[AnneP 166]

Easily. Wolf is awesome.

[AnneP 166]

Jesus, my idea what bikini should be does not meet this criteria at all. I dont get how Amy K is - based on the results - far better than Melo or anyone else? People say Melo was "too big" "too lean" but hey, shouldnt they still look like athletes and have SOME roundness, A BIT conditioning... ARGH

[Ott Kiivikas 817]

Anne what about 212 showdown? It is just coming or there was prejudging as well?

Anne what about 212 showdown? It is just coming or there was prejudging as well?

Should be just the showdown. No prejudging I don't think.

As much as I hate to bitch about the results, I dont find Ashley's physique best here, nothing super-wow in it. Really liked Melo and Latona here, and Robles... Melo forever !

Oh dear. I so agree. I was certain that it will be a good year for Latona and Melo is definitely top 3 in my book too. Could not believe the results when I saw them today. Even after reviewing the live broadcast I think that these to deserve better. I don´t think Paulino is at all top 6 material. However I have to admit that Kaltwasser represents certain aesthetique or class that differentiates her from the others when it comes to stage presence. So I guess they were looking for something a little different this year and maybe they are trying to separate the disciplines as Latona and Melo are both rather lean and toned.

Ed Correa ..

[Ott Kiivikas 817]

Pildid on ikka huvitavad küll David Henri kaugelt vaatades pildil polegi nagu vormis ja siis lähedalt tehtud pilt on terav nagu nuga...see see pildi järgi hindamine on....Kohapeal vaadates saab alles õige pildi.

[Ott Kiivikas 817]

Ma ei saa ka aru kuidas seda Kevin Englishi nii kõrgelt hinnatakse - nagu tükkidest kokku pandud, pole sümmetriat ja proportsioone lihtsalt kamaks liha ja seegi pole vaatamisväärne.
