Julia Champlin won the Figure division at the Chicago Pro:
⭕️lympia here I come!! Im over the moon with excitement right now. I’m so proud of the physique I have built, but the biggest thing I am proud of is my mindset leading into this show. I’ve always struggled with self doubt and am incredibly hard on myself. This time around I just let myself enjoy the process, reflect on each day and clap for myself for the work I have put in for years. Your dreams only come true if you allow yourself to believe and go after it! 💜
@workingclassbeast asked me yesterday what my favorite part of the show was and I told him this moment right here when I first went out for my individual routine. Stage fright usually gets in the way of me enjoying a moment like this. This time around I was excited to go out there and do my thing. I just love the routine my posing coach @officialcakefactoryfitness helped put together for me. I cannot express enough thanks to Cyd for helping me get out of my box, you put my confidence on another level! I’m so proud of the improvements I’ve made in my stage presentation this time around, but still lots more to work on. Can’t wait to keep learning from the greatest!
Laura Bader, little sister to Ashley, competed for the first time this year. Given her family genetics I wonder how far sibling rivalry will take her physique.
Wellness competitor Tere Calero at a couple of recent competition. She won her pro card last weekend at the Colombia Pro (Yarishna Ayala is also pictured)!
Christine Pomponio will be back onstage for the first time since 2006...but it won't be a fitness stage. She will compete in the Petite USA pageant. But I have a feeling she will be among the fittest ladies (if not THE fittest lady) on that stage this weekend! She definitely opened the door for the smaller competitors in figure!
Amazing pictures, where do you all get such high def?? Also I would love to see some Angela borges glutes
Wellness competitor Maegan Sykes [listed on this site as Maegan (maeggatron_)] at the 2022 NPC Phil Heath Classic where she placed 2nd in her class:
Of all the women that won a Pro Card for figure at the NPC North Americans on Friday night, my personal favorite by looks goes to Charlene Akhurst of Canada. She has a LOT of muscle someone with her height. She won her pro card in Figure Masters Over 40 Class E. She also placed in the top three in Figure Class F(3rd), Figure Masters Over 35 Class E (2nd) and Figure Masters Over 45 Class C (2nd). I have a feeling her look will make her a fan favorite in the IFBB sooner than later.

A lot of you seem to be itching to have this thread, so I'll go ahead and start one up! Unlike the other thread I made (which focuses on the larger women), this one is focused on Figure, Bikini, & Wellness.
I'll start with this exceptional footage of NY Pro Wellness champ Sunny Andrews (shot by Gilco Productions):
Also these stunning photos of (left to right) Bikini champs Elisa Pecini, Lauralie Chapados, and Janet Layug:
