MS. INTERNATIONAL
6 – ANGELA DEBATIN
“Nice symmetry, but is going to need a little bit more overall muscle. Not a lot, just a little bit so she has enough size to compete with the girls above her. If she can put on a little muscle overall, she can definitely move up in placings because she has that nice small waist.”

5 – CATHY LEFRANCOIS
“I want to say she was lean, but she didn’t have the separation in her muscles like she had at the Olympia. I think that’s kind of what hurt her. You can be lean and not separated, because she definitely was lean. But just did not have the same separation that I’ve seen in the past.”

4 – BRIGITA BREZOVAC
“I thought she looked better here than she did at the Olympia. She’s small girl, not a tall girl, so her frame doesn’t need to carry that much muscle. She looked much better at the evening show than in the morning. Here she brought a much better package. She lost some muscle, which made symmetry look better and her waist look smaller. I think she could move up higher if she could bring the conditioning and keep that smaller package. Like Iris – come in more with the quality and refine your physique.”

3 – DEBI LASZEWSKI
“Conditioning is not going to get any better than this. I don’t think she’s been out of the top five too often since she turned pro. Genetically, she is fighting a thick waist and still needs more detail in her back. But I think it’s more the symmetry – when somebody who has better symmetry comes in with good conditioning, like Yaxeni, that person is usually going to win out.”

2 – YAXENI ORIQUEN GARCIA
“Very close between her and Debi in 3rd. The judges went with Yaxeni because she has much better symmetry, a much smaller waist and better taper. Sometimes she comes in too lean, but here she had nice fullness and looked much improved over the Olympia. Debi is always fighting her thicker waist and doesn’t have same degree of back muscle that Yaxeni does. Those are two areas where Debi will lose out if Yaxeni is at her best.”

1 – IRIS KYLE
“I keep saying it – she is probably the most consistent bodybuilder, both male and female, of all time. There is nobody who always comes with the quality that she does. When she got her pro card, it wasn’t just about getting bigger and bigger for her. She was constantly trying to refine her physique and come in with quality and not just looking for size. Most bodybuilders can’t do that, it’s bigger, bigger, bigger – and then they lose that nice quality of muscle and conditioning. Iris just focused on bringing up weak areas as the years went on and bringing up her conditioning.”
