Toned Figure class

wee andi · 10-05-2006, 12:56 PM

there is no miss toned figure in the other countrys because it is a british thing...... if or when a girl wins the british in the toned ...... that is the end of the comp line.... they do not like the other classes go on to world european or universe titles....... there is a show called the wff universe..... normally held in germany i think ( well it was the year i won it) and there are loads of sections...ie miss athletic, miss excercise, miss aeroibic athletic, miss areobic etc etc and the list goes on which i would guess from what i saw would most definitly cater for the toned looked girls.... but the miss nabba toned is just to british level and no more. which is a shame i guess......

hope this helps clarify why there is just the one height ........ and not two height classes

The judging is all over the place, Kirsten was as close to the picture the NABBA magazine had to show what they were after, and she was third.

The second place girl had zero development, no definition, great stage presence (ex lap dancer), the first place girl should have been in trained figure due to level of seperation and hardness.

When asking the judges why she was third kirsten was told "you need to improve, posing, stage presence, smile more and have a better routine", a good concice and honest answer, yes? No.

They gave Kirsten the award for best presentation, so how could her routine and presence be so bad?

I asked if someone had gum disease and had no teeth and was unable to wear falsers would they be expected to smile all the time? They laughed but knew where I was going and couldn't disagree.

Being onstage is nerve racking, so is it fair you get punished for being nervous and trying to pose so hard you forgot to smile, I've never heard anyone marked down in the NABBA Pro Uni, can you imagine telling Gary Lister he's in second and down £5K for not smiling - it would not happen!

Some of the judges at the NABBA Scotland HAVE NOT seen the NABBA magazine, even the president admitted that and they said with different judges we would have had a diffferent decision, that means nobody judging understands what they are doing with this class.

Good idea, not practicle with their current judges, IMO.

the general presentation during quarter turns rounds will consist of althlets presentnig themselves with poise, SELF CONFIDENCE and posture.....

all of dougies post is bang on altho in the toned figure smiling , confidence is a major part of it and unfortunaltly there is no room to be nervous, or not to smile...

but as for the rest of the post , it does give the girls and myslelf also a false sense of what they looking for,..... i think all us girls on the day are gonna feel robed either way you look at it either the girls who were placed with all their firsts and seconds ?? and the criteria changes or the girls who look exactly as the nabba pic and dont place.... this will be the maddest and most difficult nabba class ever i think...will take a few years i reckon to kick off right... with criteria etc......

the trained figure is looking even more temptimg than ever ....lol

hey dougs , did you get that messy e mail.....lol including spelling mistakes lol lol lol

hugs
