Where are the female class results??
This is day 2 coverage, was only 1 female class O/52kg bodybuilding which is listed. The photos of that class are up on the photo gallery, and winners posing routine video is to come soon, hopefully by tomorrow we should have more vids up. So female classes were fully covered, I am always sure to do that whenever I am able.
Patricia
sorry should have specified - female figure? will they be posted soon? thanks
I think the winner of the Figure was Catherine Campbell??? With Sara P-Brown placing 2nd
Sorry but no, those classes were on the first day, and unfortunately we could only cover Day 2 due to logistics, travel etc…
where are the results for teenage & junior divisions?
cheers
Boy - you guys don’t want much do you?
Give Admin a break, he is obviously busting his arse - a “please” every now and then wouldn’t hurt.
Keep up the great work Admin, you guys are doing an outstanding job.
Craig, thanks. Funny coming from you who does so much for bodybuilding yourself, I guess you know the feeling lol.
John, again, those classes were on Day 1, we covered Day 2, so we do not have results from Day 1 unfortunately. We do have 200 pics, callouts and videos etc from Day 2 though, we could only do one day, but tried to do it well.
Once [if] I get the other results I will add them as I normally do. Wish I could do more shows, but we do what we can.
Edit: Just added Figure top 3.
Patricia
thanks guys! didn’t realise my comment sounded so rude until I just read it again. apologies..
cheers
John
No problem John, chalk it up to growing pains lol, its the first year for this site so all the feedback I do take and try and implement things to improve.
This site is so great. So up to date with everything: competitions, places, videos , pics etc . Thank you for all the support australia-bodybuilding gives to all the competitors.
Arina
How come Arina’s name is in blue.
I’m sensing some favortism around here.
I want a pretty color for my name too!
yours will be in pink and you will like it
All of a sudden this thread is full of celebrities!
Way to go Australia Bodybuilding, I cant believe you’re in your first year!
I do not want to be accused of favouritism, so have speedily hopped on it and changed Craig’s name to blue, tried for pink and couldn’t do it
Awesome stuff Admin!
I’m a bit bummed off about not getting pink, but what the hell, blue is still pretty cool.
I can’t have that little show-off Arina getting the jump on me.
She’s already too cheeky for her own good.
Nice to see you guys getting some kudos for your effort.
It’s a massive job that you have taken on and you are absolutely killing it.
Well done.
I think you guys do an awesome job, just being so up to date with your info.
Well done, 5 star effort.
How come Phil got a blue font?
Somehow I don’t feel quite so special anymore.
Arina & I are both considered to be “Sex Gods” - what’s so special about Phil?
He’s just a special kind of guy………….
you know phil is waaay sexier than you poofta.
he HAS NO HAIR!! this is the most recognised sign of sexiness (in a man)
