ANB Asia Pacific Champs Lead Up, 29 May 10
| 25 May:
This is it! the final week of contest
preparation for the kiwi team. By all reports all the team are
feeling and looking great and hanging out for the Gold Coast
sunshine...and the competition. The team's first get together
will be at the registration on Friday night where we'll also get a
(huge) team photo taken. Will be great for all the team to meet
each other so they know who to cheer on on contest day. As you can see Sheryl Paterson (right, in photo shoot for starfish swimwear) is looking pretty hot and sexy and ready to hit the stage! |

| Now being a alpha typical male I thought hair removal was something for sissys when I first started in this game but looking at other competitors - some with better hair presentation than others shall we say; Ive come to realise you dont want an 'all-over-5'oclock shadow' under lights when the judges are looking at you. It just obscures too much hard earned muscle definition (for some of us more than others)!" Read More | |

| 9 May: 16 of the 37 athletes competing at the ANB comp got together today for a posing session. So we took the opportunity to take a team photo. Big team huh, think of how big the real team photo is when the rest of team join in! |
| It was great to catch
up with some of the team and for the athletes to mingle among
themselves. There was a positive team spirit with everyone
getting excited about the event. All the athletes are looking
great and should be pretty hot by contest time. The girls were a little shy in front of the cameras but the boys were cool (well hope they are now!). Darrin Brown (right) is looking very muscular and lean, the Aussies should be very worried. David and Wayne (below right) will also be great in their respect classes. Bring it on!! |

3 May: Tory Holmes and Mark Batty from Christchurch are also part of the team.
Both Tory and Mark competed in last year's NZFBB SI Champs.
Plus we have 3 new figure additions to
the team. Another figure gal from Auckland and 2 from
Christchurch. Which poses Ali G a dilemma as she has to find
more uniforms. She has also told us that there's 11 kiwi
girls in to the novice figure class. We may suggest to these
athletes that they go into height or master's class so we can have
a more classes to cheer for! left: Karen Kissell in her uniform |
| 16 Apr: Teneka Hyndman
(right), who won the amateur figure
section of the recent NZ Pro, has decided to turn down the offer of
a Pro card to compete at the ANB Asia Pacific Champs. Teneka
has competed in 27 shows and has placed top 3 in all but 4 shows,
an awesome achievement for her! As you may, or may not know, Teneka took last year off from competing as she had broken her arm during an arm wrestle. Judging by her figure at the Pro show, doesn't look like Teneka has lost any of her trademark full delts and lean structure. We look forward to seeing her up against the Aussies. |

15 Apr: Modelling the NZ Team uniforms this week are
Tina
Dunlop and Buck from Greytown. As you can see
the girls uniform are slightly different to the guys but still just
as distinctive. Tina and Buck, owners of Greytown Health and Fitness studio, are long time competitors and competed at the INBA Taupo Champs last year. |

Apr: 7 weeks to go and
the spunky NZ Team uniforms have been sent to all the
athletes. Ali G did a great job with the design and
embroidery of the sponsors' logos. She didn't sew these
herself ofcourse..eventhough she is amazing. Our hot model is Rede Frisby with his gear on which includes Cap, T shirt and shorts posing in front of his gym in Invercargill. Hopefully we'll have more pics of the team in their uniforms. |

Team Additions. 5 April
Update: Karen Kissell of Nelson had an outstanding 2009 taking out the NZFBB South Island and National Novice Short Figure titles, along with the NABBA 'Top of the South' Overall Figure and NABBA Sen Fig 35+ National Titles.

31 March: 3 time NZFBB NZ Open Figure short champ Sheryl Patterson is one of a huge team from Chch heading off to the ANB Champs. Erena Young, who competed at the NZ Amateur and Pro show, is also going to the Gold Coast. She's made an awesome transition from her showing at the NABBA Waikato in 09. Mum of 3 Jacque Pederson, who placed 3rd in a huge line up in Nov Fig Tall, in last years' event is back to hopefullyplace higher.We will also see the hard physique of Julie Harris back to muscle in on the Aussies!

| 7 Mar: The big news is that
Balance supplements have come onboard as the principle
sponsor of the team. Balance will be instrumental in helping to deck out the 34 strong NZ team in really cool uniforms which Ali Gascoine has sourced. Co sponsors of the team will be AliGz Bikinis and Go Figure! We have seen the uniforms and one word FLASH!!!! we think the team is going to look pretty special in it. It'll be out to the team end of March. We'll wait till then to show it to Go Figure viewers. |

Congratulations
Ali! Ali has been inducted into the ANB Hall of Champions!!! Awesome, the only kiwi on an Australian site. Check out her story here |
Go Figure attended this event last year with a team of hot kiwi ladies and it was a fantastic show. The event was well run, athlete focused and everyone had fun. This show is drug tested. Guys, we didn't see too many super huge men in the various classes so if you want to give it a go, you could be very competitive.
