ALEKSANDRA KOBIELAK:

Last Place? You must be kidding!

Sometimes, you have to wonder what planet fitness judges come from. Apparently, to succeed in pro fitness you not only have to BE a highly trained gymnast (no other athletic skills quality) you have to LOOK like one too! The question remains as to how any "stars" capable of promoting fitness or making any money at it will emerge when these types of criteria are in force.

Take Poland's Alexsandra Kobielak. She is a beautiful woman with an excellent, aesthetic an sexy muscular body. She is not a gymnast, but her routine contains theatricality, skillful dance, flamboyant costumes and powerful strength moves. In fact, when it comes to pure theatrics nobody in the 2002 Fitness Olympia came close - except for Kelly Ryan's super entertaining "clown" routine. So where did the judges place Aleksandra? LAST!!! She was given at least some last place votes in every round. One judge had her as high as 6th in round two, while most had her 13th, 14th or...last. Evidently the word didn't go out. Hey, get with the program!

You want to know why fitness is not gaining "mainstream" acceptance (except for fitness competitors posing in lingerie and teeny-weeny bikinis in physique mags)? This is certainly part of it. Physique audiences like physique. They are not gymnastics fans. And most of them prefer their women to look full grown instead of having little girl gymnastic bodies.

Check out samples of her routine below...you be the judge.
