2009 CBBF Fitness, Figure & Bikini Championships
Leigh Lingham - Bikini Short Class
Being the trailblazer in anything is a daunting task so with the CBBF making the
inaugural 'Pro qualifier' an open event, fingers crossed we'd get a representative
worthy of that title. Looks like they hit a home run with Leigh and a couple of
other entries who've now set the standard for what this division should be all about.
An athletic, weight trained physique but not showing as much of the muscular separation
and hardness of figure. Don't get me wrong, those I've alluded to are quite capable of
achieving that look and are by no means 'lightweights' in the gym! In Leigh's case she'd
qualified and competed at Provincials in figure in the past and although this probably wasn't her
original intent when competing earlier in the year at the Western Canada's, I think it
worked out for the best.  She was quite occupied at Provincials running things with
her fiance, Dean Brandt who promoted that event - the timing for this couldn't have
been better! Special mention of 'Team Energy's' Lori Mork who's hung up the posing
heels (for now) and concentrating on getting her clients such as Leigh in tip top
competition shape. And just to top it off, Leigh's birthday is just a few days
after this show...so 'Happy Birthday Leigh!' Couldn't have happened to a nicer
person.
