Is she the 1st to do this and can she compete in both?

**AnneP** · #14 08-07-2008, 07:14 PM

Adela qualified last year in both. She tried figure once and placed 3rd, qualified in that too but competed in Fitness Olympia.

Not the first. Adela did it last year.

I believe she can only compete in one. Not sure though, we'll find out.

Update on Gina Aliotti:

Quote:

Prep for the O is going really well!!! I am also doing the TOC the weekend before, as always, as a warm up. I am definitely bringing a smaller look to the stage. I have a lot of muscle and come in conditioned. My conditioning will never be off from my past but I think with my change in training, my look will be just what they are looking for. The same conditioning but a little bit smaller/less musclular and hard. ... I have been doing more circuit training and less emphasis on heavy weights... we will see but I am definitely excited! Thank you for asking and for your support!!
