It was Women’s Model Quest that I introduced to the Joe Weider's 2000 Olympia Expo stage that changed the sport forever. We were indeed ready for it after the IFBB, NPC and other federations allowed women to get so muscular. I love um but, when sponsors won’t even pay money they once did or T.V. put on their lens caps, we knew the party was slowing down.
Rachel Mc Lish, the first Ms. Olympia on the other hand was more like the Figure women of today. Lean with just the right amount of muscle. Rachel sold more books, courses and video’s than any other woman in bodybuilding, fitness and figure in history. We call it Women’s Figure and T.V. and multi Media love to cover it.
For the record: It was Rachel Mc Lish who allowed me to brake all US box office records and tie the 1985 Olympia attendance with 5000 paid fans at my huge event. Thanks Rachel!
My personal prediction is that Women’s Figure and Women’s Model Quest events could take over the Men’s portion of our industry within the next three to five years. We shall see.
Keep up the good work Jolanta Mileriute and all you beauties.
