Really nice. Don't like the hair, but nevertheless, her body and face are amazing. As cute as it comes.

Shawna in reply #92 is like perfect amazonian mix – at least for me – of feminine and masculine qualities: shiny bright eyes, beuatiful long blond hair and gorgeus face combined with broad shoulders, mind blowing arms and thin waist. There is no need for more accurate description, because any words won't do her justice; the picture speaks for itself.

Ps. Nice pants  8)

Interj Elena!

Great looks and your best lifts are very impressive.

Just curious, are you still competing in powerlifting or olympic weightlifting? Do you do snatch, clean and jerk or other weightlift movements in your training?

Thanks in advance.

What a shame indeed. Jessica was The Woman on screen, but I guess that there is no much choises for women how they should look like if they want to get roles in big pictures. In some interview she mentioned that she can alter her body pretty quickly depending on what the role requires for. But this was couple of ears back, so I guess she ain't doing action roles anymore.

Can't really blame her: if I would have a chance to make million of dollars, I would go for it even if I would have to change my body to the direction what I might not like. Still she looks healthy and I guess there's nothing wrong with that. In my opinion, she is still stunning but…well, you know.

The original strongwoman competition was held only three times and then it was cancelled after the sponsors withdraw because of the lack of public attention. 2004 they didn't have any international competition but in '05 came Strongwoman World Championships, which has been arrenged every year aside from 2007. (not sure about that, correct if I'm wrong)

From 2003 these competitions have been dominated by Aneta Florczyk of Poland. I have to say that she is quite impressive combination of strength, speed and stamina. She's not that big as you might thing but her resume leaves no doubts about what she is capable of:

POWERLIFTING*
Squat     245 kg
Benchpress  135 kg
Deadlif     270 kg

WEIGHTLIFTING*
Snatch         105 kg
Clean and jerk 135 kg

*From her website http://www.anetaflorczyk.com

Interesting detail that she was participating Polish version of "Dancing on ice" before this years competition, and wasn't able to prepare for it about 10 weeks, but still she won it with ease. Great ambassador for the sport.

Strength sport are unfortunately not so popular, not for just women's but also men's, and the media coverage is very small; in previous years I believe that those have not been even broadcasted on television.

Strongwoman competition is also quite new event, so not every woman involved in strength sport do participate these events. I believe that weightlifting as a olympic sport is the most popular, then powerlifting and then the weird combination of different events, strongwoman.

I hope strongwoman competitions would come more popular, because those are at least for my opinion quite entertaining. Then it would allure more sponsors and then more competitors like Jang Mi-Ran (world record holder and Peking winner in 75+ kg category) or Becca Swanson and so on.

Probably the biggest reason this is not the case is that most of the people don't find woman with muscles attractive. Although I believe that people are becoming more open minded, there is still possibility that strongman and -woman competitions will stay small circle business. The case of Becca Swanson was quite ridicilous if it is true that she wasn't invited because of her looks. This is supposed to bee strength contest but I guess not everybody agrees. Shame, it would been really interesting to see how this wonderful powerlifter would have performed.
