2019 FITNESS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

BODYFITNESS

The athletes competing in the Bodyfitness discipline are becoming more and more muscular, but the judges made it clear that size and
being ripped are not the main qualities taken into account. Thus, Alina Yaman renewed her silver from 2018, losing her crown yet again to
her fellow countrywoman Yuliia Shykula. The overall champion was Senni Nieminen (Finland), a genetic prodigy who won the Short Class
gold, ahead of 2018 champion Olga Lutsenko, who had to make do with silver.
