EME and Kendra - Live From the Europa Supershow

**EME** · 09-16-2005, 01:50 AM

Hey Everyone,

We're here in Arlington for the Europa Supershow!
Just returned a little while ago from the competitors meeting.

17 competitors in Pro Fitness. A couple surprises... Julie Lohre.. a new rookie who earned her Pro Card at the Nationals last November with Kendra was supposed to be in the show.. but she wasn't there. On the other hand, Kim Lyons.. veteran competitor is in the show, and she wasn't on any of the competitor lists.

No problems though, we're ready to bring it!

Kendra drew competitor number "9" which is perfect because since there are 17 competitors, she will be in the very middle of the stage in the lineup. That's actually a great thing. If you get stuck out on the ends sometimes you don't get as many looks from the judges. The judges will move people the way they want them.. but it always is good to start in the middle.

Pre-Judging starts at 12:00 tomorrow.

Time to do some more Pro Tan and finish up all the final preparations!

I'll have an update tomorrow after Pre-Judging
I should have a really good idea of how Kendra is doing after the Pre-Judging Two Piece round based on how she gets called out for comparisons.

Below are a couple pics I took on the way back to the room after the meeting.

Stay tuned for live updates all weekend!

Looking Great, the both of you have fun competing and watching the competition!

**Trick D** · 09-16-2005, 03:54 AM

Awesome physique... go kendra!!! I will stay glued.

What time is her show est?

**EME** · 09-16-2005, 04:00 AM

Thanks Ske!

Waiting to do the last Pro Tan coat now.

Lots of down time when you are competing at these shows.
Eat.. wait two hours to eat again.. Apply Pro Tan, wait for it to dry and do another coat.

Fortunately, her whole competition is tomorrow. At the NPC National shows, Pre-Judging is one day, and the finals are the next day.. Makes things a lot more difficult.

Saturday we'll be able to cut loose a little bit and have more fun.

Thanks for following bro!

Hey Trick!

Pre-Judging starts at 11:00 EST.

Figure, Female Bodybuilding, and Fitness are all in the same Pre-Judging so it will take a while.

Two Piece is first.. then some Figure and Bodybuilding, then the 45 second Fitness Routines.

Pre-Judging will probably last 2-3 hours.

Then she'll have to be back at 6:00 EST for the Finals.
Finals will probably go 2-3 hours as well.

Hey Everyone,

Back From Pre-Judging.

Things went well.

What happens during the Physique rounds is first each competitor walks across the stage and does the 4 quarter turns by themself.

Then, they bring out the entire lineup and go through the quarter turns.

Finally, they move everyone to the sides of the stage and they do the "callouts".

The callouts are where the judges pull the competitors they want to see to the front of the stage.

The callout group you are in is a very good indicator of your placing in the round. Callouts generally consist of 3-5 competitors. The first group being the top 3-5, the second group being the next 3-5 placers.. etc, etc.

Once you are called out, the judges will move competitors to get the comparisons they want. The best placer in a group is usually moved to the middle, the lower placed competitors in the group will be to the outside.

In the 1st callout group, 4 of the 5 competitors were veteran Pros..
Tracey Greenwood,
Kim Lyons
Stacey Simons
Angie Semesh

Kendra was called out in the second callout along with Mindi Obrien ( another veteran )

They then moved Kendra to the middle of the group which is a good sign.

Based on her callout, I think her placing in the two piece round was either 6th or 7th.

Considering the veteran pros in the show, being called out in the second group was great.

I think Kendra was a little dissapointed with that.. but truly being called in the second group was good. There were several veteran pros called out in the third and fourth callout group.

On the other hand.... Kendra's 45 second routine ROCKED!!!
She really shined in that round. Her peformance was really awesome and she hit every move. We don't have any way of knowing her placing in that round at this time, but we had many people coming up and talking to her about it after. She really had fun that round.

The veterans that the judges know are always going to get their looks, and they may get higher scores in the routine rounds too... but, Kendra is definitely in the 5th-7th place range right now.

Tonight is the 2:00 minute routine where Kendra will truly shine as well, and the one piece round where she has always done well in the past.

I definitely feel good about things considering this is her first Pro Show.

Here are some pics from the morning. There were TONS of photographers there, so we'll have lots of pics in the coming days:

Kendra in the very center of the lineup

Finals begin tonight at 7:00 PM!

**Trick D** · 09-16-2005, 09:20 PM

Awesome, I knew she would do well... I'm proud of her. Good luck tonight... I will be by the computer!!!!

The picture with Gunter is awesome!
