The Europa Battle of Champions was a big show this year. It was especially note worthy because it was Mia Finnegan’s, IFBB Fitness icon, first time back on stage and first appearance in figure. I think some people were surprised to not see her in the top 10 or even 15. She came in conditioned but perhaps looked a little to hard and dried out for the judges taste. Regardless, it was good to see her back in the competition and hope this doesn’t discourage her from staying back in the game.
Candice Keene came away with a win and Olympia qualification. This is a long way from her not placing at the Europa in Orlando earlier this year. Looks like she went back home, tweaked her routine and diet and brought the perfect package to Connecticut.
