Arnold Europeans: Elena defeats Katka!

[Timmon]

I think Katka should  (undoubtably) have won on her muscularity, symetry and great looks. I wonder what the judges did not like?  I think Elena would have been a good second or third, she is not as muscular but shoulder to waist taper is fantastic. I think the fact that Elena has been around a long time and won many contests has helped her win this one, politics that continues to exist in the sport. Lisa looks to have great legs etc, but she is not a top 3 finisher yet. My opinion of course, and that is all bodybuilding relies on, opinions, and I was not there, the judges were (hopefully!).

Actually, the more i see, the more i like. Yes, Katka is amazingly conditioned, her legs are just crazy dry. That #51 chick, her upper torso is a place i'd like to visit someday (with a day trip to the south on the itinerary).

But Elena is what i actually like. Her muscle shapes, or lines, whatever, are so beautiful, so ... brace yourselves ... aesthetic.  She possesses an actual waist. No ridiculous novelty-sized bolt-on boobies (props to Katka for this, too, but what is up with the Gut chick and the fake tits? How ... what is this, i don't even?) I dislike to throw down gauntlets on the unsuspecting, but if you like women with big muscles and you require that they have big boobies, you are confused. IMO. And, frankly, i don't like the super dry/ultra-shredded/vascular look. (I don't think you're confused if you do, and have no scorn to heap upon you).

Katka is amazing and attractive and i wish her all of the luck and success in the world. Elena flips my switch.

Despite the softness in Elena's legs compared to Katka's, her overall symmetry and  superb upper body shapes are far and away superior.  Plus we've all seen her pose - she's among the top five posers of all time.  The judges got it right for once, in my opinion.

The bigger the better!

but i have to admit elena looks so amazing. look at her shape , her wonderful waist + perfekt abs. she has not the mass of katka but overall she he has a much better symetrie. in my opion the judges did right in placing her number 1

[Timmon]

Elena certainly has the kind of waist that you
instinctively want to put your arm around. I can see what everyone is saying, Katka looks fantastic, but is she a tad blocky, which has let her down? Elena certainly has a complete package.

Who is this girl? Is she seriously trying to win or just show up for the hell of it?

If I saw her in real life, at the gym with gym clothes on, I'd be mesmerized. But on that stage with Katka and Elena she looks really, really out of place.

So who is 51???

Simoninha Oliveira?? is that right.

Yep, Simoninha De Oliviera

 I love muscle, so I would place them as follows;
1. Nine Loebardt
2. Simonha Oliveira
3. Katka
4. Lisa Cross
 No wonder fbbs get frustrated and leave the sport. The 4 fbbs I listed were penalized for having big muscles.
This just shows how stupid the sport can be. Can you imagine a woman losing a beauty contest because she
was judged to be too pretty? None of my top 4 are asymetrical but they still lose despite having superior
muscular development which supposedly is what the sport is all about.

[Hardcore Ladys]

No way Katka is much better!
Injusice!!

Simona was not in best shape and hold to much water, Katka lost in many poses against Elena, because she was not able to present her body better, same Nina.
Elena had the best micsection, the best routine and the best standard poses - so she could defeat the others

[peter_strohm]

Elena just moves very fluidly, catlike. She's an insanely gifted poser (imho) and she represents a very feminine, yet muscled kind of athlete.

okay here are some that Katka posted herself
