Winners of 2014: Part Two

WBPF International Austrian Championships (Bodybuilding)
OANA HREAPCA

Her absness cropped up this year at the World Bodybuilding & Physique Sports Federation's Austrian Championships and (I think) found herself in a field of one. However, she didn't seem to mind and looked as thick and gorgeous as ever.

GILLIAN WARD

Former gymnast, dancer and martial artist Gillian Ward has had quite a first year as a Physique competitor. I am intensely driven and truly believe that I am capable of anything that I put my mind to, she says. Well, believe! She won her first ever contest in April, and by the end of August had won open and over 35 classes at the North Americans and was promptly awarded her pro card. I know nothing other than being strong, says Gillian, in reference to her athletic achievements both past and present. I very much enjoy it. Being strong makes me feel capable and empowered.

The next Brazilian female muscle sensation off the rank, Selma Labat also graduated to the pros in 2014. We haven't been able to find too many images of Selma's triumphs, but we have managed to find her routine from the Brazilian Championships.

NAC Universe (Physique)
MONIA GIOIOSA

Isn't it good to know that somewhere there's a federation where hardcore female muscle is still appreciated? The NAC judges its "Physique" women on muscular development, muscular proportions, symmetry of development, and muscular definition, allowing the biggest hardest woman to win every time. Monia Gioiosa was that big hard woman in 2011 and 2012, and won for the third time this year.

IFBB North American Championships (Class D Over 35 Physique)
TWANA BARNETT-FERGUSON

She's a loving wife, a Krav Maga expert, a rare beauty and now an IFBB Physique pro. Twana caught our attention earlier in the year and has held it tight ever since. Has there been a woman in 2014 who has enjoyed her stage experience more than TBF?

IFBB Tampa Pro (Bodybuilding)
SHEILA BLECK

She'd been MIA since 2012, so it was great to see the legendary Sheila Bleck return to competition in 2014, bringing her trademarks - incredible conditioning and the captivating artistry of her posing - back with her. She won the Tampa Pro and consequently qualified for her fourth Ms Olympia, where she finished 7th.
