The Austrailians really know how to put on a show. The 2009 INBA Natural Olympia took place in Gold Coast, QLD Australia. The host hotel even sounds like heaven: Mantra Legends and just happens to be on the corner of Surfers Paradise Blvd. But, it’s the itinerary that gets me. There is a party EVERY NIGHT!! There was an opening party Thursday night, “includes judging of Female & Male Sportsmodel Divisions & Guest Posing from various Countries”, a Friday night pre party “for our SportsModels and Divas and maybe those who still need to drop a little water?” and major after party on Saturday!

The show was a first class event with incredible planning down to the minute. Simular to the IFBB Olympia there were VIP opportunities to meet and mingle with the stars of the weekend. The INBA has also recently adopted the single suit round for figure (physique) division that the NPC has been adhearing to this past year.

The turn out for the show was awesome. The competitor list was an international resume, but at the end of the weekend there were single winners:
