I'm REALLY curious to see what Andrea does as a response to her 2nd place finish at the Phoenix Pro. We know Angela is dialed in to come just as good as what got her the 1st place finish. If there were ever a time to dethrone the current Ms. Olympia this is the year. And yeah it's extremely sad to see how amazing Anastasia looked this year and to not have THAT physique on the Olympia stage is a crime. But we can all thank Putin's bitch ass for that.
It would also be interesting to see how Anastasia and Michaela would compare, both packing lots of lean mass onto very small frames.

I'm hoping for a miracle in her receiving her visa.
I think Andrea will win if her conditioning is on point.
It will be fascinating to see if she can do it, though it would be great to see Angela win also.
It's such a stacked line-up, box office and tremendous for FBB. What an advertisement for FBB with such beautiful women.
Also really looking forward to seeing Ava, Kristina, and Nadia compete at this level. Particularly Ava. A real shame about Anastasia. Individual sports competitors should not need to pay the price like this.
Looking forward to seeing all of the ladies really.
I think if the Olympia was livestreamed on Netflix or Prime, they would get more views and get new fans.
Maybe also a mini documentary on each competitor in the run up. A bit like the crossfit documentaries did.
True

I would like to believe that. I think the general audience will watch but not appreciate what we appreciate in FBBs. They’ll tune in to wonder, maybe ridicule, and make fun of something we like/ admire in female bodybuilding.

Meh, you never know if seeing FBBs for the first time won't awaken a love for FBBs in someone.
^the male division would get more views.
Also bikini, fitness, wellness and maybe even figure.
^ agreed, I can see wellness getting some fans. Also the male division for sure will grab ppls attention.

I think it definitely would. Not a huge amount but enough to make it worthwhile.
Fitness is much more of a thing generally now than it was, and buff women are accepted more too. Obviously there is still too much of a gap between this and bodybuilding for it ever to be considered mainstream, but there is certainly still potential there.
I used to think that a woman like Cindy Phillips had the capability to bring a lot more positive attention to fbb, if she had competed more.
But the current crop of women have even more potential, moreso collectively than individually.
It's a shame more cannot be done to get them a little more widespread and positive coverage.
Such a stacked field. So nice to see the Ms. O not just back but thriving. The level of competition is staggering anymore. I've been blown away by the physiques every year. Kristina Mendoza is my current favorite. I love her lines and balance. She looked amazing in Tampa. Probably gonna be Andrea or Angela vying for the top though as many have said.
