2025 NPC Empire Classic Bikini and Fit Model Championships (Spokane, WA - April 19, 2025) Always great to kick off a roadtrip with a trip to Spokane and the NPC Empire Classic...sets up some of those who'll be competing at Emerald Cup and more. Bikini had some strong performances, none more than Iga Goral whose been on a winning streak to start the year. A tight, conditioned look...great package. Of note was multiple class winner Isabella Russell (below), a flowing photogenic look and could go far in the sport! Also the return to competition of Bree Ramsay whose been participating as an NPC judge in recent years, bringing a nice conditioned look heading towards Emerald Cup. Others to look out for included Brittany Woodman and Grace Camera, nice stage presence! The new category Fit Model saw Grace Mathews (below) take the Open Class win. A huge thanks to Promoters Ribic 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.
