FBB Contestant ages - Ms O 2007

[murts03]

I looked at the bodybuilding.com results for Ms. O 2007 recently and was amazed to see that almost all of the 15 ladies were 35 or older! Sarah Dunlap may have been the only lady under 30. Cay anyone explain why? Are there no outstanding FBBs in their 20's breaking into the elite ranks?

Most are still in the NPC while other girls switch to fitness and figure.  Not maybe young women in there 20's are competing as FBBers'.

Could be muscle maturity.  Also, just because a 20 something girl is packed with muscle, doesn't necessarily mean that she should be invited to the Ms. O.  Not to mention that there are plenty of pros in their 20's.

is that posible that teen girls can practice bodybuilding and compete?

They could but it's not a good idea.

I remember the 1985 Ms. O on NBC and they made a point of saying Mary Roberts was the "elder statesman" of FBB at age 36.  I think its just the longer these girls bodybuild, the better they can make their physiques.
