"It was a great show yesterday - 39 awesome physiques and some tremendous battles on stage in some classes. The Overall winners were Scott Reynolds (Men), Mandi Matheson (Womens Physique) and Melanie Westland (Figure).

Some highlights were the battle in the Open Men's Under 70kg where 5 top physiques were put through their paces for a good 15-20 minutes - ex NZFBB NZ Junior and Novice champ, James Zimmermann, taking this out ahead of a very impressive Shaun Lester. Scott Reynold claimed a big scalp in beating ex NZFBB Mr NZ and top-15 IFBB World competitor, Phil Kuklinski, to win the Open Men Over 80kg class. Matthew Jones (current NZFBB NZ Junior champ) continues to improve and is STILL a junior!

In the Women's physique, Mandi Matheson claimed another Overall title against a handful of good competitors.

The Figure classes also provided plenty of top quality and experience, with Melanie Westland claiming her 2nd Overall title in as many weeks, edging out an impressive Minda Galvin (Open Figure Tall winner).

Minda Galvin and Marke Russell (Masters Over 40 winner)looked fantastic and won the Mixed Pairs, Gina McFadyen and James Zimmermann the Best Posing awards and the big group of 14 from Taranaki picked up the team award.

A wonderful effort from the staff and officials once again, great support from our sponsors, plus a large vocal crowd worked up by our brilliant MC (Nicole Bell) and of course the top notch competitors!"
