Bev Francis

Is Bev still competing these day? 

 

If she was still competing, as a member of this forum, you wouldn't have to ask. Somebody is going to post pictures here. That's a safe bet.

Well, at least he didn't ask if she was single.

For anyone who's curious, here's what she looks like now:

When you look at those muscles, you wouldn't think this arm belongs to a woman but it does

Bev is stronger than many of the men who work out in the [Syosset Gym]




Let's go for a small dusting of this thread with this short video from local NY station News12 from the mid-80s. Sorry in advance for the video quality as the media was converted from low-res MOV file from F.I.L.M Archives website, I tried to extract the best MP4 file I could do. Also sorry for the watermarks which I couldn't remove of course.

The editing is quite chaotic, the first two-thirds are dedicated to Bev Francis' training for the Ms Olympia - year unknown - then abruptly takes a turn to a contest footage (Namely the Bev Francis Classic). So be warned of some jump cuts.

Besides Bev, there is a lineup of other FBBs showing up through that contest footage but their identification is made difficult as their names are not displayed. The only one I could ID is Linda Wood Hoyte (Acting as a judge there, see pic below).


I would be very grateful if someone could ID the other competitors below
