September 16. 2008

FLEXONLINE.COM

Heading into the 2008 Figure Olympia, the top two names on everybody's lips are Jenny Lynn and Gina Aliotti. Lynn, the two-time (2006-2007) Figure Olympia champ, is the early favorite to take home title No. 3 and tie Davana Medina (2003-2005) for the most wins in contest history. A host of others, led by the fast-rising Aliotti - the runner-up to Lynn at last year's Olympia and this year's Figure International winner - will try to prevent Lynn from reaching that mark.

But Aliotti isn't the only one standing in Lynn's way. Felicia Romero (Houston Pro, Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships), Mary Lado (Jacksonville Pro), Jenn Gates (Atlantic City Pro) Amy Fry (Pittsburgh Pro), Zville Radouine (New York Pro) and Bernadette Galvan (Europa Super Show) all have notched at least one win this season. Add names like Sonia Adcock and Jessica Paxson-Putnam to the list, and this year's Figure Olympia could be the most wide open in memory.
