Natalia Kovaleva vs. Andrea Shaw

Natalia’s bigger frame earned her a win at the NY Pro. Some people are wondering if her new look could help her dethrone Andrea. I still say Andrea wins. Andrea’s shapes and conditioning are on another level.

I agree

If Andrea goes back to 2021 size, NK will be #2. If NK can match or pass that, she'll win.

Balance is key in bodybuilding and there are a lot of reasons - read: "details" - in that realm that have given Andrea the edge over the entire field in recent years. This is one person's opinion and observation.

The NY Pro ain't the Olympia. NK looks to be in the best shape she has ever had. But a future Olympia winner isn't a thought that has ever past my mind. Top 5 placer? Sure. With Andrea Shaw you could see it was in her future the second she made her pro debut.

she looked great...but she wouldnt place in top 5 in Olympia let alone beat the champ

There is no match angainst Andrea Shaw she is from another world

If Andrea comes in with bigger, harder, rounder implants, it's game over.

I think that's her best redeeming quality! She has beautiful PECS and she knows it. Why hide it was fake breasts? In my personal perfect world, bolt-on's wouldn't be allowed—Period!

Natalia's victory in NY-Pro surprised most people who follow Women's Bodybuilding. Everyone thinks over what will happen next Ms Olympia due to Natalia's success unexpectedly. I think Natalia needs to strengthen her thigh.

Natalia has her work cut out for her.

If Andrea comes in with bigger, harder, rounder implants, it's game over.

what

its pretty clear that they're not strictly valuing mass, otherwise Angie Yeo would not have placed second. And there were plenty of big girls that did not finish top 5.

dunno why there's any discussion about this when she hasn't even shared the stage yet.

For the sake of prediction.

Did anyone comment on the fact that 3 of last year's top 5 in the Ms. O were natural? One may love the look implants give certain women, but there's no evidence they provide any sort of competitive advantage at the top tiers of IFBB women's pro bodybuilding.

Natalia is undoubtedly in the conversation for Ms Olympia now. Her symmetry, mass and conditioning put her at the very top of the sport.

There is no way nat can even come close to andrea on structure

FACTS. Andrea's aesthetics are INCREDIBLE!!

yeah i dont see natalia out conditioning andrea for the win. i think she will get top 6 tho.

ABSOLUTELY, as a matter of fact I don't see ANYBODY that can, if Angela Yeo had a larger frame and was a few inches taller maybe she'd have a shot. Angela's pecs are the best in the business.

Shaw wins easy!

Natalia is a Muscle-Beast. But Andrea is a lot more defined.

I agree. Implants ruin everything. Levyina Barros had awesome pecs before she got implants. Alina Popa did the same thing.
