IFBB Preview: St. Louis Bikini & Figure and New Zealand Bikini

It’s an all-women’s weekend in the IFBB, with contests in St. Louis and New Zealand on the schedule.

In St. Louis, 18 Figure pros and 15 Bikini Pros will vie for top honors and position in the Olympia Qualification Series standings. In Bikini, Crystal Matthews will make trip coming off of a career-best third-place finish at last week’s MuscleContest.com Championships. Jennifer Andrews enters with her share of momentum as well after cracking the top six at the Bikini International two weeks ago.

In Figure, Alea Suarez stands alone as the only competitor in the lineup with a professional win on her resume. That win came at last years’ Europa Super Show and cemented Suarez’s spot in the Figure Olympia. She’ll look to get that qualification – and the second win of her career – earlier in the year this time around.

Five IFBB pros will make the trip to the Pacific for the New Zealand Pro Bikini Championships. Nicole Nagrani, one of the biggest names in the bikini division, will be on hand looking for the seventh win of her career and her first of 2013.
