OPA Provincial Championships

This weekend was the 2011 OPA Provincial Championships and for Team Emerge and it twas the debut of the NEW Simone Sinclaire as a Team Emerge member.

The goal with Simone was to get her on stage 100% natural, to step on stage with only training and diet not with any other aids. Mission accomplished, she stepped on stage eating like a normal day, no special prep and no supplements just like I did with Justine Munro and Silvana Simoni before their IFBB pro wins. Simone felt the best she ever felt the day of a show and if you ask me, looked the best. Her body was lean and at her muscles and face were full. With any bikini competition the judging can be subjective and Simone came out with a 2nd place trophy at the end of the day. Saying that we spoke to one of the OPA judges that stated that he and others had her in first place and he was shocked to find she came in second. This show was the biggest OPA show in history and the judges were given very little time to judge each class so mistakes might have been made. Not that it matters as at the end of the day as this show was just a stepping stone to the actual goal, the Nationals or North American Championships.

I'm not the type of trainer to say my client got robbed but in this case it was pretty clear that she stood out from the others. Saying that its not me judging, it's other people. We will go with the fact that she came in top 3 which means she qualifies for the Nationals and the North Americans, which is the way I have designed her look and what I was shooting for anyway. All in all I am happy that she moves on to bigger and better things and that the main goal was accomplished.

Regardless of the second place, I'm very happy with the way Simone represented on stage and I see BIG things for her in the immediate future! She looked the most polished of any other competitor on stage and brought an IFBB pro presentation. I, as well as several OPA judges, cant wait to see what she does at Nationals and/or The North Americans.

Rose Rayfield who recently came back to Team Emerge (realizing that she looked the best with Team Emerge) also competed in the Oxygen Fitness Model search competition. This competition was held at the Toronto Pro Show Fitness Expo at the same time as the provincial championships. At 42 she looked amazing, at any age she looks amazing, she didn’t win yet she looked awesome against tough competition which is all we can hope for.

Rose and Simone represented very well for the Team Emerge brand, as always I am very happy how my team did and hope that this inspires others to compete without resorting to extreme measures.

Team Emerge rocks!
