Scorecard: August Action


JB5_7312_ENCEEJETZBAnd the month has one more weekend to go.

As the final stretch of the 2013 Olympia season gallops along, the lineups are bursting with entries hoping to be on the nose with an Olympia qualification or a bump in the points derby. In some women’s sports the Olympia lineups are finalized  (bodybuilding, fitness, physicque). In the others the point totals are neck and neck. Here’s a catch-up on recent scores, highlighting a few athletes who have caught this column’s attention.

August 24: Tahoe Show Pro Figure
Mallory Haldeman‘s performance at the PBW Tampa Pro Figure on August 10 convinced me that the 5’5″ filly from Las Vegas has the stuff to go the distance at the O, an opinion that was sealed two weeks later, when she repeated at the Tahoe Show Pro Figure. Not that her fifth-place landing at the Olympia last year or her identical placing at the ’13 Figure International hadn’t gotten my attention, but as the photos from Tampa reveal, not only did Haldeman display an enviable package of balance, proportion and curves, but she’s also got the not-too-hard/not-too-soft thing down pat. Haldeman possesses the ideal figure physique, period. I’m not saying she will win the Olympia, just that she ‘ll be in the hunt to finish higher than fifth. Allison Frahn, the runner-up in Tahoe, was only a point behind Mallory, but I stand by that statement.

Justine Munro redeemed herself from that second-place landing at the Orange County Muscle Classic Pro Bikini on August 10 with a smashing repeat win over a lineup of 28 in St. Louis. it was two weeks later, and Munro looked a whole lot better—more fullness from the front, perfection from the back. Tiffany Boydston and Jessica Arevalo, both serious contenders in the Bikini O points competition, took second and third, respectively.
