Vicky Moutopoulo, a 35 year old Physique competitor was born and raised in Greece. An athlete growing up, Vicky became involved in sports at the age of 5 has competed in gymnastics, volleyball and cycling. She began her physique training regimen 11 years ago and began competing seriously in 2010.
Vicky’s first competition was the Greek Nationals, where she placed 2nd in the Body Fitness category. Taking 2011 off from the stage, she added muscle mass and took the stage by storm, taking the Greek National title in bodybuilding.
The Women’s Physique division was introduced in Greece in 2013. Vicky took an immediate liking to it as she could still be muscular but not carry the mass needed to compete as a bodybuilder. Entering the Greek Nationals again, this time as a Physique competitor, Vicky placed 2nd. Being a competitive person, she was not happy with her placing and headed to Germany to compete in the International German Championships.
Vicky found things were a bit different at the International German Championships. The Physique division had a weight limit and she was too heavy to compete. Turning lemons into lemonade, Vicky entered the Bodybuilding division and placed 2nd.
In May 2014, Vicky took another run at the Geek Nationals, finishing 2nd again. But that 2nd place finish qualified her to compete in the Arnold Classic Europe in September, placing 6th.
Returning to Greece a few weeks after the Arnold Classic Europe, Vicky competed (with the flu) in the Greek Cup and placed 2nd. She has since taken a break from competing to focus on another run at the Arnold Classic with a goal to place in the Top 3.
Vicky has a few other contests in mind for 2015, but her ultimate dream is to win the elusive IFBB Pro card and compete with the very best in the world.
