The Olympia normally has a press conference where all competitors are asked questions by the press and the fans, and it appears that the women will not be included in the presss conference line up at the 2008 Olympia.
Replies from two former Ms Olympia Champions Iris Kyle and Yaxeni Oriquen who are competing this year:
“FLEX
How do you feel about the women not being included at the press conference this year?
IRIS:
It doesn’t bother me either way. We’re in the midst of trying to carb up, and sitting there for two hours can prevent us from getting properly prepared. They see us onstage and they see us at Meet the Olympians; I think that’s sufficient. The women are not so into all of the headbanging, so only a few of us really entertain the crowd.
YAXENI:
Being an athlete, I try to concentrate exclusively on my end of the sport. Anything regarding organizational decision-making is simply something I have to accept.”
