Blonde is Back: Fair-haired figure girl Nicole Wilkins-Lee captures the 2009 Olympia!
After capturing the New York Pro less than two weeks ago, an excited Nicole Wilkins-Lee talked about the emotional win in her return to the same venue where she had celebrated earning a pro card in 2007 at Team Universe. “This title means a lot to me,” she wrote on her website.
Little did she know how much the next one would mean.
Nicole won the Figure Olympia in Las Vegas on Saturday night, rising to the pinnacle of the IFBB in only her second season. It was the third win of the year for the young star, who qualified for her second Olympia by winning the Europa Show of Champions back in April.
Even though the field was arguably more open in this year’s “O,” Nicole’s win comes as a sweet though unexpected surprise. Many fans, insiders and pundits in the sport had pegged Gina Aliotti — who was runner-up to ‘07 champ Jenny Lynn and ‘08 champ Jennifer Gates — to finally take the crown. But the 25-year-old from California took second place for a third straight year, yielding the trophy this time to Nicole, another 25-year-old out of Michigan.
But this is no ordinary Midwesterner. For starters, the sporty and exquisite 5-foot-7 athlete grew up as a dancer, cheerleader and gymnast. She battled back from multiple knee surgeries to become a successful fitness competitor — a role she may reprise the on the pro stage next season.
Nicole qualified for the Olympia last year in both fitness and figure categories, going on to place ninth before her meteoric rise to the top over the weekend.
