Big J1's Miss Olympia Predictions ***Final Wrapup***
Well, I have thought about this long and hard and have come to certain conclusions. First, I believe Iris Kyle is still the epitome of FBB and has withstood the challenges of the old guard. With the retirement of Lisa Aukland and Betty Pariso and the hiatus of Heather Armbrust (not old guard but a viable challenger) and with the lower recent placings of Cathy LeFrancois and Dayana Cadeau, only Yaxeni remains. So I am predicting new blood BUT not at the top, not just yet.
1st Place.....Iris Kyle.....to be the woman you have to beat the woman, to paraphrase the Nature Boy...not gonna happen
2nd Place...Yaxeni Oriquen....still that x-frame shape and all that mature muscle but I believe this year she will be seriously challenged for runner up by
3rd Place...Brigita Brezovac.....has everything to eventually challenge for #1 but needs to fill out a little more....this is the new face of the new guard
4th Place...Debi Laszewski....can be as high as second if the cards break right
5th Place...Sheila Bleck....going out on a limb here but I believe this is her time
6th Place...I am tempted to say pick a canadian here but that would be a cop out (leaving Cathy, Helen and Dayana also possible) so I will go with...Zoa Linsey.....this will be one huge top 6...
Now I know we can look at the remaining 5 and say that anyone of them could be top 6 and maybe even top 3 but I always promise to make definitive picks so here they are..
Couple thoughts...on their best days (already achieved) Cathy and Dayana are certainly world class FBB's and could challenge....on the best days (not yet achieved) Heather Foster and Tina Chandler could also crack the top...
Final Note....If this contest were judged by as a pure old school bodybuilding contest not an aesthetic muscle FBB contest and the judges did not know any of the competitors, my friend Helen Bouchard, in what she says will be her final contest, could easily place as high as second. Unfortunately, this will not likely be the case.
We apparently have another prognosticator for this show in Ironman's Ruth Silverman. for comparison's sake and after eliminating Heather Armbrust who is NOT competing...her picks were....Iris, Yaxeni, Debi, Brigita, Dayana, Sheila.....
I arrive on Thursday and will update as possible...
Humbly

good predictions as always Joel.. I like the top 6.. But im gonna throw Helen Bouchard begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting into the mix.. Not because she is my coach.. But because i have seen recent pics she sent me 2 days ago.. I didnt think it was possible, but she is way more conditioned that the Hartford show.. Legs are also fuller.. And trust me when i say, she will be bringing a whole new look to the O stage!!.

This will be an exciting Ms. O. Good and sensible predictions, but I never rule out Cathy LeFrancois when she is on stage. Would not be surprised to see her in top 6.
Think it is Iris' show to lose, but the competition will be deep. Wish all these great ladies a good show.

Zoa's right on track and she's a huge insirpation to me and alot of other FBB's to make a post like that on her first Olympia run is not right, I hope she doesn't read that.

The ultimate irony is that I haven't posted any physique shots at all this prep. LOL being away from home and having no one to take them for me....hmmmmmmmmmmmm...........and I wouldn't mind you identifying yourself so I can ban you from my Facebook seeing as you're obviously just pretending to be 'friends'. LOL YOU'RE A SAD SAD PERSON.
so................thank you getnbig for letting me know I'm going to 'bomb'....after all it is such a miniscule accomplishment even QUALIFYING for the Ms. O...............
thank you cheddar cheese, you know i always do my best, some preps are smooth, some are fraught with difficulties but always I do 100% my best.....and even if 11th place is in my future I will always do what I can to motivate and help others become their best.

Sorry dont care who you train with, its your career. I was viewing your latest pics and just observed that you dont look nearly as good as you did a year ago. Remember this is a prediction page. I hope you do well. I also think Sheila will do better than 5th.
