I just finished doing a write up on the 2011 IFBB Figure Pros (like I did with the IFBB Bikini Pros) and in doing that write up, one woman stood out over all the others.
That woman is certified personal trainer and fitness and figure competitor Nicole Wilkins.
Yeah I know I just did a write up on her in January, but this five foot seven, 144 pound fitness beauty stood head and shoulders above the rest.
In 2011 she competed four times, and she came in first place in all four contests.
And two of them were the biggest contests in the world, the Arnold Classic (Arnold Fitness Weekend) and the Olympia (Joe Weider's Olympia Weekend).
This is the second time Nicole has won the Figure International and the second time she won the Figure Olympia (though not in a row, Erin Stern won last year).
