Elsie Velazquez

Elsie Velazquez has been virtually everywhere this year. A roundup of her contests in 2010:
2010 IFBB North American Championships 1st
2010 IFBB North American Championships 2nd
2010 NPC Team Universe & National Fitness Championships 11th
2010 NPC Junior National Championships 10th
2010 IFBB Arnold Amateur International Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure & Bikini Championships 10th

For fun, Elsie used to play volleyball and softball in high school. When things got serious, she ran like the wind – Elsie was a track star. All this despite the fact that she is only 5 feet tall. She claims that her nerves are her biggest enemy on stage (figure competitions), and she loves to pig out on pizza and cake after a show. more Elsie

Raechelle Chase

Time to polish that diamond ring up boys. It’s hard to get enough of Raechelle Chase. She may be a married mom of three, but wow look at her. She is a figure competitor and fitness model, but she has more muscle than the average competitor. She is from New Zealand, which means she probably has one of those sexy exotic accents. Mmm, mmm, what a smile, and what biceps! Any woman who earns her pro card can tell you a thing or two about diet, but as someone who has been in the gym for 10 years and who espouses the benefits of clean eating, Raechelle is big on nutrition.

Raechelle is also acting deputy editor of a fitness magazine in New Zealand. I don’t know how she has the time to do it all, but wow she looks gorgeous doing it. Her first competition was when one of her kids was only 10 months old. She turned pro in 2009 and has never looked back. more Raechelle Chase

Zivile Raudoniene

Zivile Raudoniene currently lives in New York, but she is originally from Lithuania. She is 5’5″ tall, weighs about 125 lbs, and was the 2009 Arnold Classic Miss Figure International Champion. She is of course a pro. Zivile has a very European look, and exploits that well as a fitness model and wrestler for the WWE.

She started out as a personal trainer, but after winning a few contests and more than a little notoriety, she landed the gig as a wrestler in Florida.

Viviana Soldano

Viviana Soldano was born and raised in Genoa Italy. She grew up participating in sports and dance so fitness and weightlifting fell naturally to her. Viviana currently lives in Southern California and works as a personal trainer and nutritionist.

Height: 5’4
Weight: 130 lbs
Bust: 36DD
Waist: 24
Hips: 35
Eyes: Blue
Biceps: 14

She has a very glamorous look, which is consistent with the fact that she grew up in and around the fashion industry because of what her parents did for a living. If she had turned out more than 5’4″ tall, she may have been in a different profession! more on Viviana

Ginette Delhaes

Not much info out there on Ginette Delhaes, a blonde beauty. She is 5’5″ tall, hails from Quebec Canada, and trains out of the Monster Gym. She is a Figure Competitor in the NPC and CBBF. Recent contest history:
19th 2010 IFBB California Pro Figure
11th 2010 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro Figure and Bikini
16th 2010 IFBB Europa Show of Champions
2nd 2009 CBBF Canadian Natural Physique Championships
2nd 2009 NPC Arnold Amateur Championships

Some of her 2010 placing may seem low, but remember these ladies are competing in an area where only a fraction of a percent of women ever land. Extremely low body fat, and very fit. Click for Ginette Delhaes pics Continue reading “Ginette Delhaes”

Nicole Wilkins

Nicole Wilkins is the all-star living embodiment of the cheerleader next door. Well, she may be about 10x hotter than the average cheerleader next door, but you know what I mean. Her brown eyes and blonde hair make you think “cutie-pie” while her rock hard physique make you think “mercy.” Nicole started out as a ballet dancer as a child before she moved on to cheerleading. Cheerleading led to gymnastics, which lead to injury. When she was in high school, Nicole tore a ligament in her knee. The ensuing surgery and rehabilitation started her down the path of weightlifting, strength training, and bodybuilding. She earned an exercise-related degree in college and has been a Figure Competitor for a couple of years now. As I noted a few days ago, Nicole won the 2010 Arnold Figure International. What’s amazing about Nicole is that she is one of the very few FitBabes who have crossed over and competed in both Figure and Fitness – and she has won in both categories. This gal is not only good looking, she is tremendously athletic and talented.

We hope to conduct an interview with Nicole, so stay tuned for more great stuff here at FBB!

Update:
Nicole placed 2nd in the Pro Figure category of the 2015 Mr Olympia!
