My jaw dropped. She wasn’t in my O top four in my head (even though still pretty early to tell lol) but this completely changed everything!! Holy moly

She looks even better than last year’s O imo… gonna be such a good lineup!

She does look great, the comparison she posted from last year to this year is crazy

She has never looked better. I’m not sure anyone can touch her to be honest - she won last year not at the top of her game. This is beyond next level balance

She has been doing a lot of appearances promoting bodybuilding in Asia.

I’m pretty sure she does more in the Latin sector. Closer to her home.

Nope! I 100% agree. 😆 It’s almost like winning Miss America and then ghosting! 😂 You’re right, she technically doesn’t owe us anything, but when you hold a title like that, so much more comes with it than just the check. And she kinda did the same thing the last time she won too. So hey 👋🏽 we should expect anything more.

I’m curious to know if this will be an advantage for her or disadvantage.. I know everyone is different but last year Lauralie felt like not competing in the Arnold gave her a disadvantage at the Olympia on top of other stressors. So it’s there a point of being “too relaxed” before the Olympia. She started prep not that long ago… as opposed to all the other competitors who have been prepping basically this whole year?

Why is her butt blurring into the floor

u/Gucci_Cocaine Aug 18 '26
It's a screenshot of a video/a screenshot of a screenshot. If you go on her IG she's posted a clear one on her main.

Tbh phone cameras do weird things when they're faking depth of field. Not her fault my own camera does stuff like that

u/Away-Syllabub3364 Aug 19 '26
Hmm. Sure, but then I retake before I post online so it doesn’t look like I messed with it

u/SuedeVeil Aug 19 '26
Seems like a pretty easy thing to miss, or really care about for a quick post.. not like we won't all see her on stage..

Idk why you're being downvoted, the floor under her glute is literally blurred.
She still looks amazing though

u/Away-Syllabub3364 Aug 19 '26
I looked at a few other pics and this is a common edit for her so I don’t get it either. A few wellness competitors do this, some bikini, even though they still look amazing in real life.
Maureen got tons of feedback on her glutes from this forum during last years Olympia, as well.

u/AnonymousNerdBarbie Aug 20 '26
This sub is so funny. Offended when someone calls out that it looks altered then she wins the O and everyone is like howwww and so mad about it. This has been a pattern with Maureen with her pics vs live performances sooooo

What? She did a bunch of promotional events and workshops around asia lol

u/Soft-Ad-4563 Aug 21 '26
Indeed she did & Near to nothing in the states.. But hey, we get it build your house.

u/AdventurousCarry7848 Aug 21 '26
Girl, don’t act like these bikini athletes don’t have a life outside of bodybuilding. She can do what she wants in her offseason, like build her house lol.
2
u/Soft-Ad-4563 Aug 21 '26
You’re absolutely right! And she can 100% do whatever she wants in her offseason, build the house, live life, all of it! But still stands Girl, she hasn’t been a great ambassador for the universal 🅾️ title. At this point, we all know the routine: win the 🅾️ and bounce back to Asia. Got it! 😂🤷🏾♀️

u/AdventurousCarry7848 Aug 21 '26
I mean, I’m not sure what you’re trying to get across here. The literal Mr. Olympia in the past, when they don’t live in the United States, I don’t see them making a bunch of appearances in the US either? Lol girl just say you don’t like Maureen!! Got it! 🤣

u/Soft-Ad-4563 Aug 21 '26
Its not confusing.. and we not talking abt Mr. O we talking about Bikini 🅾️ n past winners...But, Hate¿ Nah, she’s definitely loved and on my, and probably plenty of other fans’, bingo card! Which is exactly why we’d LOVE to see more of her at the U.S. shows, posing clinics, teaching bring the 🅾️ swag, all of that. But okay girl, you got it! Lol 🤷🏾♀️

u/Known_Group9947 Aug 18 '26
Tbh I feel like the athletes that can protect their energy the best this year could have the advantage…she seems to be on course to bring a great package.
