Vancouver Pro Am and Expo

Last week we did an article on Saturday’s for the Vancouver Pro Am and Expo Body Building event held at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre.

This was followed by an exceptional performance the following day (Sunday) whereby the event got underway with the Men’s classic, physique and judging followed by the Women’s bikini and Men’s physique event.

This was followed by the Women’s bikini competition where competitors must be at least 17 years of age in which there were several awards presented to various competitors.

Other sports have rules and regulations regarding equipment, but this level of competition and staying in line with the WBFF brand for competitions contestants are strongly encouraged to choose a classy style pair of shoes that compliment themselves and competition wardrobe.

Clear stilettos are no longer a part of the competition attire and the WBFF Organization prefers a shoe style that is more stylish and classy.

Any style, color, or stones etc. that fit the attire are allowed. 5 – 6 inch is still the max height that is suggested.

Different from the normal 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place finish; the Bikini Awards are listed in five overall categories which all competitors must adhere to.
