Patrick deserves to be up there with the best in the world at under 202 because he can place at those types of shows. He is one if those guys who may never have gotten a card at the regular nationals either, so its good to see.

With all that said, I do feel bad for mark, because he probably was close on this one. Perhaps one day he'll get it at the regular nationals. But one thing I can guess if that they will never have this elite show down again.....4 competitorsis a flop if you ask me! No matter what the caliber.

Agreed...and you are correct Steve in that we probably wont see this show again.

Congrats to Patrick well deserved!

Full Results are up!!

I talked with Mark (president) and he said the elite show will happen again.

Also most bodybuilders were stunned in the audience when Patrick won. Not taking anything away from either competitor because they both deserved cards, but Mark was noticabliy more dialed in then patrick, and though they were simmilar from the front and side poses with no man showing clear advantages, from behind Mark showed noticably better back developement. Thicker upper back, wider upperback. In my opinion patrick looked weak compared to mark in this area, and everybody I know is confused how patrick won, since shows are usually won or lost on the strength of a competitors back.

The justification that patrick would be more pro-ready than mark doesn't cut it, since they are moving the division next year to 212.

i think it s great that they re having another one of these elite level shows. The problem with them though is that because the draw to compete in them is basically an IFBB pro card, those that don't think they have a chance at one won't compete at all. As opposed to say Nationals where a class win is more the motivation to compete or placing top five in order to stay nationally qualified is another motivation. Of course the elite class competitions will stay small but all those who choose to compete will be the countries best bodybuilders

Hey P22, congrats to your wife on her placing. She looked great.

Congrats to Patrick. I was not at the show and i have no pic of the guys one next the other.
I think it's because Patrick has better legs ... maybe i don't know.
Anyway sure Mark looked great, in condition, but smaller to usual from what i saw. I think he's got a better upped body.(again i saw only 2 pics of him)
Usually shows are won from the back ... not everytime, last year i had the best back in the contest and lost in the overall.
Again we need pics, to see what judges were looking for.
