Helle Brings It Back to the FIBO Power Pro

The women’s bodybuilding portion of the FIBO Power Pro Championships, which took place in Essen, Germany, on April 15, was a triumphant comeback for Denmark’s Helle Nielsen.  The symmetrical sensation of 2003 hit the pro scene by winning the Jan Tana Classic and taking fifth in the heavyweights at the ’03 Ms. Olympia. She left the competitive stage to focus on building her business but hoped to return to the bodybuilding stage. And return she did, scoring an eight-point victory over Germany’s Skada Seifert, with Cathy Le Francois rounding out the Olympia-qualifying top three.

Here are the complete results:
