The Item: IFBB Pro League Contest Results
The Scoop: Just Announced: Over the weekend, IFBB Pro Shawn Rhoden shined as the 1st place winner of the Open Division at the 2012 IFBB Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Championships. Another pre-contest favorite, IFBB Pro Toney Freeman was awarded 2nd place. IFBB Pro Hidetada Yamagishi, who had taken 2nd place at this contest in 2011, fell to 3rd place this year. IFBB Pro Roelly Winklaar took 4th place, and IFBB Pro Lee Banks finished in 5th place.
The "So What?": The IFBB Pro Olympia Qualification Series Point System: (1st automatic qualification, 2nd - 4 Points, 3rd - 3 Points, 4th - 2 Points, 5th - 1 Point) applies to eligibility to compete at the 2012 Olympia (September 29) in Las Vegas. 2008 Mr. Olympia IFBB Pro Dexter Jackson, who just hosted his annual NPC Dexter Jackson Classic Championships a week prior, was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Tampa Pro Championships. In his pro debut, IFBB Pro Todd Jewell landed in 8th place.
Andrew Oye's Verdict: Rising from an 8th place finish at the IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic back in March (won by IFBB Pro Branch Warren) to the winner's spot in Tampa against a fairly tough lineup is impressive for Shawn Rhoden. With symmetry and classic physique lines wrapped in round muscle bellies, Rhoden is being called the next-generation IFBB Pro Flex Wheeler (a comparison once also made about Toney Freeman, who continued the tradition of the X-frame physique).
