Far From Routine: Ellogon's Treasures Part II

Today, more reader nominations and a personal favourite from Ellogon's YouTube treasure trove - first, some serious shock and awe, and then some seen once never to be forgotten European beauty - punctuated by a guest poser who does it, according to the reader who suggested the routine, "how it should be done". You lucky people!

Reader Request

CHRISTINE ENVALL
1997 NABBA Universe

The first of two routines from Eurosport's coverage of the 1997 NABBA Universe, and one of several requests for Christine, but the only one we received in time to put the posts together, unfortunately. Not, I grant you, the greatest quality clip, but I can't help feeling that in HD that glorious body in that posing suit might well be too much for the old ticker to take. Christine physique is frankly so overwhelming it's hard to make it to the end even though she's slightly blurry. And it's less than a minute long!




Reader Request

PATRICIA VELDMAN
1997 NABBA Universe

There's not much of the woman who beat Christine on this occasion out there, but every second of Patricia Veldman in this clip and elsewhere seems to be 100% solid female muscle gold. The most musculars that close the routine must be among the most capped and giffed pieces of posing ever. And it's not hard to see why.




Reader Request

SHARON MARVEL
Guest Posing

It starts with a pose that leaves you in no doubt that Sharon's glutes are rightly legendary, it ends with a quad shake that you'll be daydreaming about all day and dreaming about all night and will probably still be on your mind at work Monday...



Think you can handle more? Check out another of Sharon's sexy routines here.


As with the NABBA Universe clips above, the last three selections (all my picks, all from the 1995 IFBB Europeans) hark back to the golden days of female muscle on Eurosport. I was actually living in Italy at this time, which meant the channel was available to me free (not the case in the UK). Yes, the camerawork/direction did often leave a lot to be desired - close-ups are fine, but do we need close-ups of their hair? But Friday evening, when I remember the Bodybuilding/Fitness hour tended to be on, was a very special time every week, though perhaps not always quite as special as the Friday when I first witnessed Inna, Elena and Angela perform these routines.
