poor Katka, she genuinely looks sad and disappopinted...

I am not a professional judge, but from my point of view Katka should be the winner  Elena has a beautiful body with nice proportions, but I am not sure if this is enough to be the winner.

The judging in these contexts, has nothing to do with who is the best bodybuilder.

By any standards, she should have been third to Katka and No 51

What? Katka's win could be argued for but No 51 was nowhere near the top 3 in any terms. Also, Elena has easily the best and most elegant lines and best proportions in whole contest. Katka looks just blocky next to her. Also, Elena is a great poser, perhaps the best in current fbb.

Well said prorok. In judging and contest terms, bodybuilding isn't simply about mass, vascularity and the freak factor. It's about symmetry, proportion, balance and - oops, the dirty word - femininity, as well as the ability to present such a package to the judges via posing and stage presence. We as female muscle fans may crave absurd vascularity and definition however from a judging perpsective these traits are usurped by those previously mentioned. I find Katka sexy as hell but in judging terms I can see why she lost out to Elena. Oh and as an aside, I'd get it on with Elena before I even had time to think about it...Elena's stage presence and her ability to present her physique in such a sesnual and confident manner without appearing arrogant and egotistical is unparallelled at this pont in time IMHO.

The main bodybuilding sites seem to be ignoring that there are female athletes at the Arnold Europeans. I have looked at the main site forums, and male bodybuilders are already banging on saying "they don't care" that the main sites are not covering the women's sport, and "who want's to look at a load of tranny's anyway.." etc.
What's wrong with these people? Do they not realise that they are all in the sport of bodybuilding, and if the wonen's side finally buckles, you can be sure the male side will slide as well. I don't read views about the male side of the sport, but apparently, the same comments get made as in the female side " athletes are too big" " it was better 20 years ago" etc.

I am sick to death hearing the moans that men with muscles look like men, women with muscles look like men, etc. So, I suppose female 100 mtrs runners also look like men, as do tennis players, pole vaulters etc. I wish the moaners would get a life, and realise that all humans have muscles, and would be a lump of lard on the floor without them! If women decide to develop them to the max, that's their choice. Iris Kyle still looks tiny next to Kai Green, 2 athletes at the ultimate peak of their sport.

Sorry guys, I just feel utterly pissed at the comments the FBB's have to put up from members of their own sport, sometimes I just wish they would be a bit more supportive, for all their sakes!

Rant over, here is more RAW FEMALE MUSCLE, for the fans.

By the way, in case any FBB's think by bodybuilding, they have managed to make themselves look more masculine at their own desire, my message to them is, "sorry girls, you have failed, big time! In my eyes, women have taken muscle and made it look better than it has ever looked since the beginning of human evolution".

Check out the ladies...
