2005 Ironman Pro and NPC Figure/ Fit Expo Contest Report/Results

February 20, 2005 - by genex hwang

Pasadena, CA, USA - Since this show was a men's pro bodybuilding show as well as NPC Figure, we're not posting a complete report as we usually do. Just some photos from the overall event and some commentary. At the photo at right, new IFBB Pro Emery Miller poses with another IFBB Pro, Nikki Fuller who has been contemplating a return to the competitive stage.

The Expo for the 2005 Ironman was a lot bigger than the year before even as people braved torrential rains to get to The Pasadena Center.

The figure competition had a broad range of physiques as it always does, and this show has been known to put out some impressive athletes and this year was no different with Alexis Ellis impressing everyone when she strolled onto the stage and was an easy lock for the overall.

Past years have seen Abby Duncan, Marcy Porter, Tracey MacDonald and others grace the stage and all have gone on to either earn their pro cards or make serious waves in the sport.

In the expo, it was like a mini-Arnold (well, maybe micro would be a better word since the Arnold is so freaking huge nowadays).

However, there were a lot of pros in attendance at various booths or just there to check things out.

Monica Brant-Peckham was there with her husband, Collette Flack, powerlifters Kara Bohegian and Mari Asp, Pauliina Talus, Brenda Smith, Anna Larsson and Lena Johannessen were just a few of the notables on hand.

Of course the big draw was the men with Gustavo Badell maintaining momentum since his impressive showing at the Olympia, and Lee Priest close behind him.

If anything, the show served to whet appetites and it seems like everyone's minds are on the Arnold next month.



Speaking of the Arnold, with the increased attention put on steroids, there was an interesting article published in the San Francisco Chronicle about the Arnold Classic. (The Chronicle also broke the whole Conte steroid story)
