2017 CBBF National
Fitness, Figure & Physique Championships
(Surrey, B.C. - July 29, 2017)
A great collaboration of promoters, Tamara Knight and Jeni Briscoe put on an amazing event. Held at the same venue as Tamara's
"Knight of Champions" show (it's third year being on September 9, 2017), the experience showed. And with Jeni being the promoter
of the Northern Classic in Fort St. John, a definite formula for success. Approximately 220 athletes (with about 50 of them in
multiple classes) graced the stage. The finale at this event is Figure, Alberta's Nicki Dery took Overall in both Open and Masters
Divisions. To even win a class at this show truly meant being in phenomenal condition. A second Pro card was awarded to Class 'C'
winner Catherine Lavoie of Quebec.

What can one say about Alyssa Coppolino's progression through the ranks since she moved to BC from Ontario a couple of years ago. Three shows, three overalls...the culmination
being a very aesthetic, sculpted look for Nationals with some serious muscle added in the year since winning Provincials. Other open class winners were much improved
Dana Williams (Alberta) and Dr. Alexandra Heberger (Manitoba).

Georgina D'Abreo, who interestingly was the only Masters competitor who did not participate in the Open
Division, took Masters Overall and was awarded a well deserved second Pro Card.
|
Six competitors total in Fitness, three per class. Kyla Ford won the short class with an energetic and athletic routine, winning the "best routine" award
as well. Very photogenic Rachelle Russette (Ontario Champion) placed second as well as being chosen as a "most marketable look" winner from STATUS Fitness Magazine.
Veteran competitor Gloria Mohninger placed third. In the tall class Alberta's Charity Mohr's solid routine and muscular look secured the class and Overall titles.
|
Four very competitive Open Men's Physique Classes surely made the judges' work difficult, Quebec's Philippe Lebrun
taking top honors. Second Pro Card was awarded to Desrick Walcott, also of Quebec.
Another Canadian Nationals has come and gone, a pleasure to cover as usual.
