FiBo 1994 – Lenda Murray

In the year this photo was taken, Lenda had won the Ms. Olympia contest for the fifth time. In total up to now she has won this title eight times and is the most successful female culturista of all time. In her last appearance at the Ms. Olympia in 2004 she has placed second (Iris Kyle was the winner) – at the age of 42 she has retired from competing in this year, too. That was her second “retirement” after a time-out between 1997 and 2002.

Lenda´s figure was and is the standard in female culturismo – period.

(Please excuse the bad quality – this photo is a cropped scan of an analog negative that was edited in Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 and Lightroom 4 for a better look. Camera and photograph were not as good as today back then…)
