The Nevada desert got a little hotter this summer when the NPC USA Bodybuilding Championships took over Sin City July 29th and 30th. One of the most anticipated amateur contests of the year, the USAs saw almost 700 physique competitors bring their A-games to the stage, making it the biggest show the NPC has ever seen.
A show of this prestige and stature was sure to draw a few familiar faces, including IFBB figure icon Nicole Wilkins. The reigning Figure International champ was spotted on stage presenting the trophy to the overall winner in the Figure category, Wendy Fortino. Backstage, fellow IFBB pro, and Figure and Bikini contest coach, Felicia Romero prepped her girls before they entered the spotlight. “The energy backstage was great!” she says. “All the girls were excited to get onstage and had their game faces on.” And it’s a good thing they did. With championship titles and pro cards up for grabs, the competition was as fierce as ever.
