The 2009 Europa Show of Champions debuts April 17-18 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, featuring IFBB Pro League men’s bodybuilding, fitness and figure and NPC men’s and women’s bodybuilding, fitness, figure and bikini. Plus, at the expo you can catch UFC legend Matt Hughes, martial arts, powerlifting and arm wrestling, hot mom and cover model contests and several other exciting events.

BODYBUILDING
The favorites are Hidetada Yamagishi, who placed fourth at the ’09 Ironman Pro earlier this year, Darrem Charles, who’s best placings of the ’08 season were third and 1st in the Atlantic City Pro and Atlantic City Pro Masters, respectively, and a much improved Sergey Shelestov, coming off an eighth place finish at the ’09 Arnold Classic.

FITNESS
The front runners are Shannon Meteraud, who captured her first pro victory one week ago at the New York Pro Fitness and Tina Durkin, who placed third at the same show.

FIGURE
Monica Brant, Heather Mae French, Erin Stern and Nicole Wilkins-Lee lead a field of twenty-eight competitors all vying for top three and a trip to the Figure Olympia in September.
