Pics and Report; NABBA Waikato, 31 July 2010

Just when we thought no other show could possibly beat the NABBA Counties show of 64 athletes, Waikato did just that by attracting close to 70 athletes to the competition. So well done to NABBA on their great run and to the organisers Marianne and Teresa, who we're told, didn't have sponsors or prizes 4 weeks before comp! They certainly did a great job putting it all together to make it a friendly and well organised for the athletes.

The show was highlighted by the number of women who made up huge classes. Shape and particularly the Novice Figure Tall class of 12 was awesome to see. We saw lots of masters physique and masters athletic but where were the open men?! perhaps they're waiting for the nationals to reveal themselves. Kristian Bray continuted his winning run in the novice physique tall class but didn't quite manage the overall beaten out by the sharp Matt Matenga who also won the Masters 40+ class.

In the women, Gill McCann came in the best condition we've seen her in the Novice Physique class but unfortunately was place 3rd. Another surprising 2nd placegetter was Watson Pita in the novice physique who looked well balanced and had nice muscle mass.

Four of the best contests for the night would be in the Shape class where the judges had a tough decision to make between the top 3 of Cushla, Melanie and Stella. All gorgeous with different qualities.

Team Trophy winner

Also gorgeous were the Senior Figure 35 and 45 classes. Good to see seasoned competitors Farah Deobhakta, Gladys Matthews and Cathy Orevich along with Eva Terres posing down.

Rick Uljfalussy and Dean Shilton in open athletic. Probably Rick edged out Dean with his super sharp legs and better stage confidence. The other was the close figures of Sue Bettridge and Janine Haywood in the Open Figure. Sue perhaps just edged out Janine by being a little bit harder, she also took out the Overall.

Once again another fun and well organised NABBA event!
Thank you.
