Jess Coate, Overall Figure Salah Ibrahim IFBB Pro
| Report! Firstly, thank you Figure girls for hearing my call at the Auckland Champs about the need to see more figure girls on stage. At this show we saw all the figure classes contested from novice figure short which saw the gorgeous Trinity Lawrence take out the class while the lean and very tall Tamar Kuru take out the tall class to the Senior Figure class which was won by seasoned athlete Heidi Kruger. |

| It was also a changing of the guards of sorts in figure as we say hello to the newly reshaped figure of Jess Coate with her great symmetry and muscle take out the Open Figure Short and Overall, but say good-bye to the ever effervescent blonde bombshell of Michelle Dixon who greaced the stage for the last time. And she did spectacularly as she posed gracefully to her routine while donning a blue bikini, rather than her tradional baby doll pink. We'll miss you Michelle but no doubt we'll see you in the audienc cheering everyone on. |  Michelle, Sam, Aimee |
| Once again there were few female bodybuilders but 3 awesome physiques were represented in Julie Harris and Sue Bettridge and Awhina in the Novice. Both of these ladies were in great condition and Julie looked more vascular than usual but unfortunately her condition wasn't quite enough to take on the mass of Sue. For muscle lovers, this was a great watch! But I think most of the audience were waiting for the babes of the Bikini Short and Tall to strut their stuff and they were treated to some great bodies on show. Judging would've been tough in both classes as the standard of athletes is getting high and we see the girls have been putting alot of effort into their stage presence and walk. Cutie Camilila Payne redeemed herself after last year by coming in great condition and with a great tan to take out the Overall Bikini Title. But she did have to strut her butt off (literally) against the equally impressive body of Aimee Chitty who won the Tall Class. Perhaps Camilla just edged ahead of Aimee with her extra roundness. On to the boys! It was great to see some young talent coming through especially in the teenage class where there were 5 whoh all have the potential to develop great bodies. The most of which is probably the winner Harrison Rowe who has awesome mass and structure to really have a future in the sport so we hope he sticks with it. Tom Lee in Junior and Craig Sutherland also stood out with their great muscle conditioning while it was great to see Master Blaster Brian McFarlane showing us he's still got a great physique and muscle to match it with the young fellas. We welcomed the return of a couple of awesome physiques in Sam Mohammad and Salah Ibraham IFBB Pro. Its been about 6 years since we saw Sam compete and he reminded us what a great physique he his symmetry and mass, and that classical posing style. A combination that won him the Overall Title at this show. Salah has also been away from the stage for about 7 years and he returned with great fanfare as he guest posed showing us his improved muscle mass. Hopefully we will see these guys on stage again in the future. Cannot believe just how fast the Men's Physique Classes is growing. In this show there were 35 physique men! From only the short and tall class last year, the NZIFBB have included Open class for both and tall making it 4 classes for physiques and these classes are brimming with athletes. Not only are there lots of athletes but the calibre is getting higher and higher, although we must add that some of them do need to work on their posing and stage presence as this is what the class is all about. There was plenty of talent but the hunkiest of them all was Daniel Mazzola who's full lean muscle and that X factor won him the Overall Title. The show itself was run efficiently with both the prejudging and finals sold out. No doubt this is indication of things to come as athletes and audience converge at the Nationals to be held on 12 October at Harbourside Convention Centre. Thanks to Moe and NZIFBB, and the athletes for having Go Figure at the show to share our pics with the viewers. See you at the Nationals! Lisa, Go Figure 24 September 2013 |
