I would have placed the women numbers 25 and 43 joint first place in my book . ideally the photos should be all full length
I could try to make a collage with full length photos for the Nihon Physique tournament. (But I may sometimes have to cut off some toes or fingers in the pictures.)
that would still be good as the bodybuilders would still be full length . I do not like it when some bodybuilding videos are of the women from the waist line up only
New collage with full body images. I had to the images in few cases. Sometimes there is text or heads of other people over the feet.
(I changed the color of the numbers to red, expect for the 11 finalists from last year who skip the preliminary round.)
much better . I would place numbers 1 , 7 and 8 ,, 10 and 37 for the final line up for prizes . times like this I am glad
I am not a bodybuilding judge , never could work out how they judge at contests

(13 to 25; due to a tie)
My last 13 to 23 entry, Adachi Akiko (No. 22), didn't pass through the preliminary round.
The entrylist for the Miss Tokyo 2024 has been released few days ago (http://bodybuilding-fitness.jp/Tokyo/Taikai/2...). I think this is a good opportunity to start a prediction thread - not only for Miss Tokyo 2024 but for the bigger national tournaments as well (Japan Open, Nihon Class, Nihon Physique).
