Would expect anything less than this from you. Every post you make is anti-EVERYBODY.

Physique Women are now competing in NABBA Worlds Events only to bring all International Athletes together on one stage annually. Physique Women are required to be over 60kg on stage which limits the possible number of qualifiers at an amateur level. My understanding is that Toned Figure will allow a greater number of "Physique Figure Women" to be represented in their own class without the weight requirement of Physique Women. Either way they will look vastly superior to anything you will see in NZIFBB or NABBA/NAC NZ, so whats your problem with it all?

[evosys2]

Even though the Women's Physique Class will not feature in NABBA UNIVERSE, NABBA WORLD'S 2011 did feature FANTASTIC WOMEN'S PHYSIQUE CHAMPIONS

1st Ana Paula Silva

2nd Larissa Cunha

3rd Simone Souza

4th Noemia De Abreu

5th Lisa Bailey

6th Sharon Simpson

Would be great to see this again in the future-

Like all Sporting Groups/Federations: inclusions and exclusions will be made over the years and criteria will change, that is evolution for you.

Today's athletes are not as they used to be 5 or 50 years ago.Tomorrow and beyond will bring more change and not all will like it, hopefully though as we evolve as a federation, along the way a happy medium will be found.

All feedback is valid :wink:

Thanks for the replies and weener lad as well summed it up nicely.

I was an idiot to post I don't want to argue just stating the facts.

There will be no Pro Universe 2011 this was not mentioned in your posts so is Lee P going to enter as an amateur then?

There will be no Physique Universe women 2011 poor Kaye and Jo

Musclenz cheers for the feedback seems you have a beef about other groups your problem not mine.

Evosys whether this be Gazza or Wendy thanks but maybe the physique women should have been retained at the universe as this is NABBA flag ship show and dropped at the worlds as that has only run since 1984.

Looks like NABBA Universe will now run as a feeder show for other organisations once you reach the top of the pile, sad to see this happen.
