2017 NPC Amateur Olympia – Las Vegas – The Women

September 14th, 2017    Las Vegas, NV, USA.

It was GMV’s privilege to be the official video team for the inaugural and much anticipated 2017 NPC Amateur Olympia Las Vegas contest. It took place before a sell-out audience on Sept 14 at Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend.

Held in the Orleans Hotel and Casino Show Room, this was the first time the Amateur Olympia has be held in USA. IFBB and NPC competitors from USA, Canada, Mexico, South and Central America, as well as the Caribbean participated in this ground- breaking event.

2 Pro cards were there to be won for each division. In total, 10 coveted IFBB Pro cards went to the top athletes competing in this contest. It was pleasing to note in particular the huge support of athletes from outside USA.

The women’s contest comprised the following two divisions:

Bikini Fitness
Wellness Fitness (IFBB – no Pro card)

This was the first time that amateur athletes have been given the opportunity to grace the same prestigious event as the top Professionals in the world such as 7x Mr. Olympia Phil “The Gift” Heath, Dexter “The Blade” Jackson, Shawn Rhoden, Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, Oksana Grishina, Latorya Watts etc.

It is anticipated that extra divisions will be added in the future after the huge success of the 2017 event, where more than 350 athletes competed.
