2021 NPC Emerald Cup
Figure Championships
(Bellevue, WA - April 23, 2021)
As this tumultuous year plus of sometimes uncertainty continues, a definite sense of 'normalcy' returned to the Pacific Northwest with a familiar stage, even
with reduced audience size and vendor expo, a hallmark of past shows, an annual rekindling of friendships still happens...like clockwork! The Craigs have done a masterful
job guiding this ship for the last 40 years, as a transition to new ownership under the VERY capable hands of Ribic Productions is taking place. While participation
was understandably lower this year, the quality of competition DID NOT disappoint! Day 1's finale was Figure and Team @PAC.FIT brought a couple of future stars of
the sport to clean house...Karrisa Otero-Hardgrove and Lyndsey Bordynoski.

Not that there weren't some strong challengers...with a shapely, proportional physique, Lauren Hadley-Brown is headed in the right direction! Impressed with
Carly Weatherhead as well, 3rd in Overalls. Was good to see Mindi Turner back onstage...and you'll definitely hear from 'B' Class winner Alexandra Edwards
as she continues on this season! It was a busy week following Emerald Cup as we were able to enhance our social media coverage with offstage content from
Karrisa, Lyndsey and Lauren.

A huge thanks to Promoters Ribic & Craig Productions, volunteers and the dedicated competitors who keep this sport growing.
The Pacific Northwest is a special place when it comes to the NPC community with everybody pitching in
to make each others' shows as successful as possible. It's a continued privilege to be able to
cover and publicize these shows for decades now. We'll have more on the show here in general as time permits.
