Female Fitness Models - Colette Guimond
After my first year of training I did my first show in
1988 and was immediately addicted even after taking only 4th place.
I was small, only 110lbs. Next year I won the Montreal '89 Championship
at 114lbs. I kept improving until 1995, and won many other shows. I
was on my way to finally to make my ultimate dream a reality, competing
in the Miss O. But an accident stopped me from competing. in the 1997,
it could have been fatal.
Doctors could not believe how fast I was recuperating and
that I actually survived. After nine (9) surgeries I am bigger and harder
than ever. I was told that I had amazing potential in competition I
chose not to compete because I could not deal with an un-symmetrical
body, due to the surgery I felt that would prevent me for winning. For
me it was a great loss that was difficult to accept .
Now over the past 5 years, as you can see from my photos,
I was able to keep on improving. Up to this summer, I finally accepted
my injury and the flaw it had created in a bodybuilding perspective
view, and I realized in real life that it does not make me a worse bodybuilder
for such.
I'm now thinking of doing a show for my fans and for myself
as I am always being asked for what show am I'm getting ready for ?.
I know I will never make it to where I could be as a competitor because
I know my limitation. I now have to deal with for this sport, but I
can say after this my dream has never completely left me, because since
I'm enjoying more and more the admirations from fans all over the world
and I get to meet them and I'm making a living from being so muscular
and who I've become. I'm Glad because I've beat the odds! In other words
never give up! There will be always something there for you.
