22 incredible women competed representing 10 different countries. This contest was Joanna’s pro debut and to go straight to the Olympia was a huge achievement, especially at the age of 23 years!! You will see the complete exciting event in this DVD, shot in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Emma Sue of UK wasn't in the second half of the event, as she only competed in the first 2 rounds of the prejudging. Unfortunately she injured one of her quads during the initial rounds and was unable to pose (to tense her quads) - or to continue on in the contest due to this knee injury.
Betty Pariso is still a top Olympia competitor today as at 2009. Yaxeni Oriquen also competed in the 2009 Ms. Olympia.
