Competitors list usually comes out the week of contest.

[khuddle]

If you'd like to speculate, though, a lot of fbbs native to Florida are likely to compete.

[e_honda]

I concur it's the usual suspects that probably do the Tampa; Janeen Lankowski, Alicia Aflaro, Shelia Bleck.

Some possibles:

Cheryl Faust
Irene Andersen
Pauline Nelson
Maria Mikola
Angela Rayburn
Ladawn McDay
Aleesha Young
Kim Buck
Isabelle Turell

Maria Mikola may have retired, sadly. I think she said she was thinking about that last year and she hasn't been heard from this year. Hopefully she hasn't.

Sheila Bleck has won this show 3  times already and I think she's already qualified for Rising Phoenix due to her placing in 2018, so she might not feel the need to do this again.

Irene Andersen is the Cal Ripken Jr of women's bodybuilding. Just seems to compete in everything, every year. She'll likely be there. 

Isabelle Turell and Aleesha Young are both likely.

I hope there are some surprises this year. Like Cris Goy at the Omaha Pro.

IMPORTANT: Does anyone know what day the IFBB Pro Female Bodybuilders are competing? I checked the website, and they've made a mistake there.
They provide the schedule for the San Antonio Pro, which takes place a week later in a different state!

So if anyone knows what the actual Tampa Pro schedule will be (particularly for the female bodybuilders), please let us know -- thanks.

I asked Natalya Kovalyova via IG and she said she was competing. (No, not Amazonka).

 According to the website it happens on Friday, August 2.  Fitness and bikini on Saturday the 3rd. Where did you see a mistake?

Thanks for the info.

They have updated the site now with the correct info.

However, they don't indicate what time prejudging will begin for women's bodybuilding on Friday August 2.

In the oast it started late, around 12 noon or so.

However, it might be different this year. Anyone know? TIA

Helle Trevino, Tara Silzer, and Kristina Mendoza(in her Pro debut) are all confirmed. Lisa Cross has said she's in contest prep, she hasn't said what show but Tampa is the only one that makes sense. I'd be shocked if we didn't see Kim Buck, Irene Anderson, Isabel Turrell, Janeen Lankowski. Not to mention whoever doesn't get the qualifying points they're hoping for in Norfolk. And there are always surprises. Chicago had 16 competitors, and Tampa is always bigger, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw 20-25 women competing in bodybuilding. Which is just awesome.

^^Lisa Cross is prepping, but it's for Romania, not Tampa.

Did they re-shuffle it again? I just went to the Tim Gardener site and open women's BB looks like it's on Sat the 3rd.

I'm going to go crescendo, don't blame me, but it will be a way to hear news from some great athletes that we would like to admire much more often on stage'n elsewhere.

Will we see the eclipse Natalya Amazonka in Tampa Bay?     


Shouldn't a women like Paloma PARRA and Candice CARR-ACHER do like the lovely huge Andrea SHAW (who understood everything)??

Is the return of veterans, such as Juanita BLAINO, Lora OTTENAD, Keli WATKINS, Tina ZAMPA, Tammy JONES, Rene CAMPBELL, Anne SHEEHAN, Gillian KOVACK, Alevtina GOROSHINSKAY, possible on the agenda ?

And what's new for: Robin Hillis DEE, Oana HREAPCA, Kahla BULLEMOR, Angie SALVAGNO, Virginia SANCHEZ, Maryse MANIOS, etc...

Can we hope for the pro debut of: Kate COOPER, Kate BAIRD... and... A certain Monia GIOIOSA!?!
Italian invasion?
Sarah HAYES' Comeback !
The ruffled invitation of a no less ruffled Miss Toney (oh, I'm lost...) !?
And the last but not the least: the Miracle Iris...
Tell us.

[PatchAu7]

I forgot: the Brazilianwomen with the sublime and hypermassive Carla MARIA Bradley, who, it seems to me, will participate in her first pro show this year!


What about the Swiss, including Jay, who appears to have gained a lot of mass lately?
Do you have some news
