FLEX_OLYMPIA WEEKEND

NOT TO BE LOST ON
THIS momentous occasion

was the fact that WILLIAM
BONAC had also risen to the

occasion. Last year, he was
fourth place, a former Arnold
Classic champion in two
different continents over in
Australia and Ohio. Bonac
fired his trainer, had some
emotional release on social
media, and, for the very first
time in his career, took the
Mr. Olympia journey on his
own terms and with his own
crew. He was able to deliver WILLIAM
the goods and wind up the BONAC
No. 2 bodybuilder and not
have to give up 20% of the
prize money to his trainer.

A HUGE SURPRISE may
have been PATRICK MOORE.
He brought back the hopes
of an aesthetic athletic-
looking physique that could
potentially be the future of
men’s open bodybuilding.

Another big highlight to
witness was WHITNEY JONES
reclaiming her fitness
championship in the face
of a knee injury and neck
surgery and not losing a
beat. As mentioned earlier,
Shanique Grant was exactly
who we thought she was
and did exactly what we
thought she would do. I
guess one of the surprises
was the crowning of a
new bikini champion out
of Brazil, ELISA PECINI, who
actually did not come out
of nowhere. She’s always
been close, but to upset
the bigger names on the

Olympia stage was a huge
accomplishment for the PATRICK WHITNEY
new bikini champion. MOORE JONES
