2017 BCABBA VanCity Showdown
Bodybuilding, Physique, Figure, Fitness & Bikini Championships
(New Westminster, B.C. - October 14, 2017)

Annette Colligan - 1st Place Overall - Open Bikini
The second year for this show saw an increase to around 100 competitors, many of whom entered multiple classes/divisions. As part of the traditional (WADDA tested) competition stream, it leads to the BC Cup Provincial Championships along with the Kelowna Classic. Promoter Corey Swiergosz of Influential Sports Inc. also put on Powerlifting/arm wrestling events during the day. It was a good day for the mature athletes, particularly on the women's side. Starting with Bikini, veteran competitor Annette Colligan took both the Open and Masters titles with good, balanced development throughout. Another strong contender was Masters 35+ winner Martina Getz, she had won the category's overall title at the 2017 Leigh Brandt Muscle Classic. Open Bikini 'A' featured impressive winner and runner up Sheila Gatcho and Alexandra Raymond respectively, look for them to do well in the future.
Brendan Conners - 1st Place Overall - Open Men's Physique
With the men's categories, the judges had a very clear deliniation of what constituted the 'look' for each one. While a number of competitors entered multiple categories, they fared from taking Overall titles to not placing at all if they weren't the best look for that division.
Renata Freundlich - 1st Place Overall - Open Figure
Figure also gave props to the seasoned athlete as Masters 45+ competitor Renata Freundlich took both the Overall Masters and Open title..."abs to die for"! Very well deserved. In Women's Physique, Germana Rovinelli had the muscle and graceful posing to really entertain the crowd.
Arash Fatrahi - 1st Place Overall - Open Bodybuilding
