In my last Lens I did a write up on the 2011 IFBB Arnold Classic, Ms. International, Fitness International and Figure International.
That contest incorporated all the IFBB categories, Bodybuilding, Figure, Fitness and Bikini.
On March 26th, 2011 in Culver City, California, they held the IFBB MuscleContest 2011 Pro Bikini Championship.
That contest was held at the NPC Musclecontest Bodybuilding, Figure, Men's Physique and Bikini Championships contest and it's the second year this event has been held.
Last year, Sonia Gonzales took first place, followed by Monique (Minton) Ricardo, Amanda Latona, Stacey (Oster)Thompson, Natalie Pennington, Alea Suarez, Dianna Dahlgren, Michelle Gullett, Sherlyn Roy and Leigh Lingham in the first ten spots.
This year, the field was almost entirely different.
But the winner was someone you should all know.
(At least if your read my Lenses).

1. Amanda Latona
Yes, the five foot five, 120 pound fitness beauty from Las Vegas, Nevada won hands down.
This is Amanda's fifteenth 1st place win and her fourth since turning Pro.
Last year Amanda came in 3rd.

2. Dina Al-Sabah
Coming in at number two is a lady that could almost be considered a fitness legend.Dina Ali Fahad Al-Salim Al-Sabah has been competing since 1999 and was the first female Arab athlete to get an IFBB Pro card.
At 37 years of age, she is still going strong and defeating women half her age on the stage.
Dina didn't place last year.
3. Abigail Burrows
Looking at her, I expect we will see a lot more of Abigail, and maybe some 1st place finishes.
4. Zhanna Rotar
Number four is Zhanna Rotar from Chernivtsi, Ukraine.When she was sixteen, Zhanna immigrated to the U.S. with her family.
She has been competing since 2005 and last year, Zhanna placed 12th.
5. Anca Marcus
