Latorya Watts

This is Latorya Watts of USA who placed 5th in the Figure Class of the Las Vegas Olympia tonight. It was her first Olympia competition, the highest level professional women's figure contest in the world. To place 5th at a first attempt in this event is an amazing achievement.

What was also quite surprising to me is that Latorya is a 34 year old relative novice to the sport, up against all of the other women who are mostly in their early twenties.

When I chatted to this stunning beauty after these backstage photos were taken, she did say she was blessed with God-given genetics. This, together with lots of hard work and dedication has brought about her success.

Our days have been from 6AM till midnight, so I backblipped for yesterday here.
