She is good but if she's to compete with the 'big' girls, she better improve her stilt-like legs, Iris would tear her apart!!

True, but I am not aware that Jana has any asperations to compete with Iris, she has enough success in Europe. I can't even imagine what Jana would have to evolve into if she were to enter the Ms O with any chance of placing high! Iris is on her own, as we all know, even Yaxini has been unable to seriously dent her.

Jana, 2nd place IFBB World Championships, 2013

[Timmon]

In an interview with Sport SK, Jana says she was "shocked" not to have taken 1st place, and when it was announced that Olga had won, she was waiting for a correction to be made to the announcement. But it never came, and she slowly realized she was runner up. She says she was much harder and defined  than Olga, and certainly the pics seem to support that claim. Olga is never one for being ripped, but she has good symmetry, and being younger and pretty can't be a hindrance either. Certainly neither of them were the most massive at this show.

Sadly, the shock seems to be making her decide to try physique next year, as at 37, she does not like the way the FBB contests are favouring larger women ( although at this contest, she appears larger and more ripped than Olga ).

Maybe this is a knee jerk reaction in shock, from one of the most titled FBB's of all time who is used to winning, but I hope Jana changes her mind and stays in FBB.
If not, at least we will still see her in Physique, although she may have loose muscle to enter. She already has acknowledged that her abs may the too defined for physique, so sadly muscle loss and less definition seems to be the way she will go.

2nd position is still a great result at the world champs, so congrats to Jana, it just wasn't your year this time!
