Subject: IMMEDIATE ELIMINATION OF 1-PIECE SWIMSUIT ROUND IN PRO FIGURE

At the IFBB New York City Pro Figure on Friday July 9th, several members of the IFBB Professional League Pro Committee were on hand, including Chairman Jim Manion. A meeting was called that included a quorum to discuss the immediate elimination of the 1-Piece Swimsuit Round in the IFBB Pro Figure. This will take effect starting with the 2010 IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships on July 17th. This was originally proposed to take effect at the 2010 IFBB Houston Pro Figure as stated on Advisory Notice from Tuesday, June 15th. All IFBB Pro Figure competitions from this date forward will only consist of one (1) round, the 2-Piece Swimsuit. This includes the 2010 Figure Olympia.

because it covers up to much of the body. when you are on stage to have you body judged it dosent make sense to cover up the whole mid section. imagine a different category of mens bodybuilding where all the men come out wearing jeans. lmfao

I thought this had already been in place? All the NPS shows around here haven't had a 1 piece division for awhile?

Good idea IMO. I'd much rather see a 2 piece bikini.
