There are a total of nine female bodybuilders qualified so far for the 2009 IFBB Ms. Olympia. Who will win the show isn’t exactly the question of the year as barring a crisis or “strange lumps”, chances are Iris Kyle will continue to dominate. The true battle will be for 2nd and onwards…
Pros qualified from the 2008 Ms. Olympia:
1. Iris Kyle, USA
2. Betty Viana-Adkins, Venezuela
3. Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia, Venezuela
4. Lisa Aukland, USA
5. Dayana Cadeau, Canada
6. Cathy LeFrancois, Canada
Pro qualifications added from the 2009 Ms. International:
Debi Laszewski, USA – placed 2nd
Heather Armbrust, USA – placed 4th
Isabelle Turell, USA – placed 7th, and qualifies due to those above already being qualified.
With more Olympia qualifications available at the New York, Tampa and Atlantic City shows this year, we can expect the list to grow.
