Behold.. FitSights' coverage of the 2003 Olympia weekend. We hope to provide a nice sampling of all the festivities so it's the next best thing to being there.

This year, FitSights enlisted the talents of Kyla Brown, a rising star in the realm of fitness photography. The Vancouver native provided contest photos, as well as covering the expo itself, to help give a bit more depth to the Olympia coverage.

But enough of the chit-chat, scroll down and check out the coverage!

Competition notes: the most talked about routine belonged to Jen Henderschott, not only for her redux of the Britney/Madonna/Christina kiss, but also for her use of 'human' props (dancers) ... for some reason the emcee decided to spoil 'the kiss' in Henderschott's routine by alluding to it before she began ... we're all for recognizing sponsors on-stage, but there has to be a limit - it was almost a fire hazard with all the sponsors on stage for each award presentation ... there were rumblings that Stacy Hylton should have placed higher, but then again, after a show like this, there are usually more rumblings than the San Andreas fault ... Jenny Lynn's placing slipped a little, but she had more important things on her mind that weekend - Jenny tied the knot, Vegas style ... the other Jenny, Jenny Worth, was a bit off for the show due to a car accident that threw off her contest prep.




CHEERS: The week before the Olympia, Fox Sports West aired a segment covering Monica Brant's preparation for the Figure Olympia. It was one of the best few minutes of fitness/figure coverage I've ever seen on TV - great camera work and production.

JEERS: Inside Edition also had their own segment leading up to the Olympia.. and, well, they may need to do their homework next time around.

First off, their main focus was on the Ms. Olympia bodybuilding contest, yet they almost always showed the physique portion of the fitness & figure rounds.

Then, when they were interviewing Monica Brant, they identified her as "Jennifer Worth - Bodybuilder".

Close, but no cigar.
