The Lyric Theatre,

WPF ASFORUITCHANGoldReefCity
CHAMPIONSHIPS
The sport of bodybuilding headed back
to the exclusive Lyric Theatre venue
at Gold Reef City for the final National
Championships on the 2013 calendar. This time
it was the WPF South Africa that welcomed athletes
from all over South Africa to the South African
Championships. With the local season about to
conclude eager athletes descended on Jozi to find
out who would take the top spots, and leave with
the title of National Champion in their respective
divisions to cap off a great year.
It was great to see some of SA’s most well respected
athletes back on stage, and it was also refreshing
to see a few new faces take to the stage to compete
against SA’s best - further proof that local bodybuilding
continued to grow in 2013.
Jade Essendrup cleaned up in the Junior under 23
division to continue his domination of most, if not all,
the junior line-ups he entered last year. Jade is, without
a doubt, the future of our sport, and is closely following

the audience with her routine and Gerstner
stage flair.
MEN U/23
In the Ladies Figure over 165cm Jade Essendrup
division it was the impressive physique
of Deidre Gerstner that stole the
judges’ favour. In the respective under
165cm division we found SA Figure
phenom Philippa Lamont Wilkie
dominating her division once again.
What is there left to say that hasn’t
already been said about Philippa? She
is, without a doubt, one of SA’s most
prized possessions when it comes to
Figure. With multiple international
awards and appearances under her
belt it’s no wonder that she emerges as
the champion in any competition she
enters, year after year.

In the Ladies Toned Bikini division
it was newcomer Natascha Rossouw
who shot straight to the top with her
incredible physique. I have no doubt
that we’ve only seen the beginning of
this incredible athlete, and I’m really
looking forward to watching how
she transforms her physique over the
next few years. She is balanced and
symmetrical throughout, and I’m certain
that she will become another top class
international athlete to emerge from
the local ranks. The Ladies Bodybuilding
division belonged to Mabel Tshabalala
as she presented a muscular and
symmetrical, yet feminine look, to earn
her the title of WPF SA champion for
2013.

In the Senior Men up to 70kg division
it was Radley Eckersley who dominated
throughout, earning him the top slot

perfectly. This gives him great proportions
and a much better overall package.
The Overall division saw each athlete

head to head in all-out battle for the most
prestigious title on the night. The judges put
each athlete through their paces with pose

out who would be crowned the Overall WPF
