Lea Damante is a 26 year old from Scottsdale Arizona. I was able to find only one contest she had participated in – the San Diego Bodybuilding, Figure, and Bikini Championships in 2009 (where she placed 11th). Her career as a fitness model is still expanding, but she is fairly well known as a bikini and lingerie model.
Lea’s body is stunning, but not necessary what fitness competition judges are looking for. She is very much fit for public consumption, and I think we’ll see much more of her in the coming years on covers and in advertisements. more Ms. Damante

We probably didn’t do Dina Al-Sabah justice when we devoted but a few sentences to her 3 years ago. Dina was born in 1974 in Lebanon and is fluent in four different languages. This is a byproduct of having lived in Italy, Egypt, and Morocco. She played varsity basketball and volleyball in high school, and was also captain of the track and field team. She started dabbling in weightlifting in college, and realized she had a competitive future.
Dina is unique in many ways – including the fact that she is the first Arab IFBB Figure Pro ever. She did well in both figure and fitness, but because there is so little money to be made in those sports, she turned to fitness modeling. Her exotic looks make her very popular, and she manages to balance femininity and muscularity well. Dina video

Wendy Fortino is one of those fitness babes destined for greatness. She was a former track and field star headed for the Olympics until she suffered an injury. Actually, she was formerly a lot of things, including a gymnast and a dancer. When she began lifting weights in the gym to recover from her injury, it wasn’t long before the competitive fitness bug bit her.
Wendy stands 5’1″ tall and weighs about 115 lbs. As expected from a former dancer and runner, she has great leg development but her quality upper body speaks volumes about her training, her genetics, and her abilities. She has a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a master’s in kinesiology.

By transforming her diet from pizza and beer to chicken and broccoli, Michelle was able to lose some of the weight she had gained in college. She also found a trainer to guide her through the exercise and the nutritional aspects of fitness and figure competitions.

Mascha Tieken in an incredibly beautiful figure competitor who also works as an IFBB judge, coaches numerous fitness athletes, owns a gym, and writes for Oxygen Magazine. All this in addition to doing a bit of fitness modeling. This lady stays busy! Mascha lives in the Netherlands. She stands 5’5″ tall and weighs about 130 lbs.
I really can’t find a single weak point anywhere on Mascha. A competition is much like a Nascar race, the fastest car doesn’t always win. It takes a confluence of things coming together so that the tan, the diet, the presentation, etc all result in a win. So whether she is winning competitions is independent of me saying – this girl has an amazing body.
She is best known for her balance of muscularity and femininity. more Mascha Tieken
