Zhenya Vernon has continued her international success for Australia taking two titles at the 2009 European Cup held last month in Milan, Italy. The Italian newspaper “Il Giorno” (The Day) highlighted the success of the event, which included all the representatives from Government house attending along with a 3,000 strong crowd. The event was held in Milan’s popular ice hockey arena and they witnessed a brilliant showcase of natural bodybuilding including over 90 competitors from 12 Countries. Zhenya was especially happy about her SportsModel victory because this category is considered much more important in Europe and resulted in several newspaper, magazine and TV shoots the following day. While Zhenya has been living and competing for Australia over the past few years, she has recently put in her application for permanent Australian residency. INBA Australia hopes her application progresses smoothly and quickly!
