The women’s pro season keeps rolling along (and along) in March. A little catch-up is in order…
This photo of Jennifer Andrews suggests a work of art waiting to be unveiled, and that’s exactly what she did at the St. Louis Pro Bikini on March 17, taking the title for the second straight year after a less-than-stellar showing at the Bikini International two weeks earlier.
Andrews was not the only athlete who did better on March 17 than she did at the International competitions, however. Also in St. Louis, Oksana Grishina, who had leaped into second at the Fitness I as well as at the Flex Pro in February, nailed her first-ever pro win, which has cranked up the volume on the buzz that she’s a future Olympia winner.
Last but not least is Erin Stern, who flew to Melbourne not expecting to repeat her 2011 Australia Pro Figure win due to the presence of Nicole Wilkins in the lineup only to be shocked when the judges Down Under liked her fuller-than-at-the-International body better. The result: unanimous decisions for Erin in first and Nicole in second.
Andrews and Grishina picked up Olympia invites. Stern already had hers, but thanks to the recent change in the change in the IFBB Pro League rules, the top five all earned points in the race qualify for their respective Olympia competitions.
