Over the last five years, INBA/PNBA has given away 5 Harley-Davidsons at the most prominent natural bodybuilding event of the year – Natural Olympia. The reigning Harley-Davidson prize winner (2021) is Philip Ricardo Jr.
The question is, what will the grand prize be next year? Only time will tell. But when you see two stunning natty champs modeling these motorcycles – within a month after Natural Olympia -, the mind begins to wander. Will it be another Harley-Davidson? With the breakout of electric vehicles (EVs), and Harley-Davison recently releasing their EV model, maybe competitors wouldn’t mind another chance to win one of these glamorous choppers.
Stunning Natty Champs
These stunning natty champs modeling the Harley shoot were Kayla Rowling (left) and Danielle Bouldin (right). You may have seen their name pop up in natural bodybuilding news because these two ladies were champions in the 2021 Natural Olympia. Kayla Rowling won Bikini Divas, while Danielle Bouldin clinched the Women’s Sport Model division.
Natural Bodybuilding
Natural bodybuilding has been around for decades, but its popularity has grown in recent years due to the rise in deaths in other bodybuilding leagues. The cause of death in these leagues isn’t well documented. However, drug use is a common concern. Institutions like the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness (IFBB) don’t solicit drug use. However, because they don’t have a strict drug restriction, many athletes avail themselves of these loose terms.
However, in the INBA/PNBA league, athletes don’t get the same leeway unless they want to end up on the Hall of Shame. INBA/PNBA competitors go through strenuous drug testing through the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) – drug testing Olympics use.
Female Divisions
Women that compete in natural bodybuilding have many categories they can contend in, including Bikini Divas, Bikini Angels, and Women Sports Model. These three categories are precisely occupied with beautiful women. That’s because sex appeal and beauty play a crucial role in judges scoring.
Below we’ll dive into key differences between the two categories Kayla Rowling (Bikini Divas) and Danielle Bouldin (Women’s Sport Model) represented gold medals.
Bikini Divas
This class heavily weighs sex appeal and presentation for scoring. Compared to other female divisions like Women’s Bodybuilding, athletes don’t carry around as much muscle mass. Instead, the judges are looking for a sexy and feminine body. Although some degree of muscle mass and definition is important. Competitors dress in a swimsuit, high heels, and jewelry.
Women’s Sport Model
This division also relies on beauty as a critical aspect in scoring high, but it places a higher emphasis on muscle mass compared to Bikini Divas. As a result, the more athletic physique will win. Plus, each competitor’s personality is another dominant factor. As the name suggests, athletes dress in fashionable gym wear, such as sports bras and shorts.
Generation Iron would like to congratulate Kayla Rowling – Bikini Divas – and Danielle Bouldin – Women’s Sport Model – for their championship placements at 2021 Natural Olympia!
