Vladimira Krasova Shares a Successful 2014 & Looks Ahead

15th December 2014, Prague – Interview with the only Czech pro bikini competitor. “The competition grows and one must keep improving!” says Vladimira Krasova after season 2014.

Following The Olympia, Korean Pro and Prague Pro, you were almost decided to finish off the season and suggested that you would take a break during November and December. What happened?

VK – I love competing in the Olympia and highly appreciate the opportunity to have deserved the right to contest this special show in Las Vegas in 2013 and 2014. Having not qualified in Seoul and Prague, I decided to carry on with my diet and training to gain further experience and points to bring me closer to Las Vegas again next year. I planned to do the Russia Pro in Moscow scheduled organized during the last November weekend in Russia’s capital, but it was not to be.

My visa has not been processed on time and I rushed to attempt to apply for contract to compete in Santa Barbara during the inaugural Lou Ferrigno Legacy pro show there.

How exactly was 2014 for you in terms of contests and their outcomes?

VK – I took part in seven shows during 2014, which meant the biggest number of shows I contested so far in a single year. It was basically my second full year as a pro bikini competitor. I learned to appreciate each of the experiences and worked my butt off to bring in suggested improvements, however difficult to do all in a relatively short time period. I did not place well in Pittsburgh Pro, but really enjoyed its unique atmosphere and environment as well as the presence of virtually all best pro colleagues. My results improved in Dallas Pro and New York Pro, where I placed in top 10 in each. Then came the 50th Olympia and post-Olympia shows in Seoul, Prague and finally Santa Barbara.

How did the Olympia go for you this year?

VK – The Olympia Weekend is truly unique in all its aspects. I have certainly enjoyed this year also thanks to the fact that I knew what to expect. The 50th edition of the prestigious event made it even more special. The event is incredibly well run, it is kind of a celebration of our sport of bodybuilding and fitness including our bikini category. The fans are incredible and a crowd of more then 10 thousand spectators in the Orleans Arena are unforgettable. I am very thankful to have placed in top 15 in the 13th place which truly motivates me to work even harder to be back on stage of the 51st Olympia in mid-September next year.

With 2014 drawing near to its end and 2015 around the corner, what are your nearest plans for the rest of the year and possibly even for the forthcoming year?

VK – I just returned from Orlando, Florida, where I participated in the 2014 Bomicon organized by the Bomsbhell Fitness Team company and enjoyed it very much. It was a refreshing experience with the full program and great atmosphere and people including pro bikini colleagues I truly digged it. I would like to attend more university classes in coming weeks as well as to relax little especially during the holiday season. I shall go on with my training, but I will stay away from much of the usual travel and stress connected with it. Come the next year, I have some specific suggestions from the judges and will do exactly what it takes to progress for the next season with first contest no earlier than in June. I dream about my third Olympia, so it is clear I will need to work really hard to qualify most likely through points. Finally, I plan to graduate with my Master’s degree in international diplomacy in early summer of 2015 and will need to dedicate portion of my time to it too.
