What is going on in WPD

14 hours ago - permalink

hi--i'm back.

this likely will have expired by now but if you hadn't seen, Sara Bradley competed in the Optimum Classic this weekend and qualified for the Ms. Olympia.

Amanda Machado posted some stories comparing her to a top 5 WBB placement at last years Olympia and looking at the two of them side by side you'd probably reverse that. Everything about her physique screams WBB. I replied to Hunter Henderson's story and she also seems to agree.

I know recently the powers that be decided to split up the Rising Phoenix prize money and spread it around all divisions which pissed off a lot of women but I really feel like they're making another step to ax WBB as a division if they're going to reward Bradley with an O placing in WPD when 4-5 years ago they'd have marked her down and told her to move to WBB.

Which isn't to say the rest of the field was small. They all looked quite huge in the few comparisons I've seen so far, Susan Mathison I think also placed 2nd? With the addition of fitmodel (which is more or less where bikini used to be lol) and the explosion of wellness i think it's just a matter of time.

Of course we'll see where the cards fall at the O--what kind of look would they prefer, the more bulky look Sara has or the sleeker lines of Natalia or Villegas.

There's always been a weird grudge towards the WBB category.

That!

On another note, I don't think the IFBB care that much about WBB or Physique. They probably would like to make it disappear but at the moment they leave the show promoters to decide.
