1998 Jan Tana Pro Classic
Held in Charlotte, North Carolina on the weekend of July 24-25, 1998, this was once again almost a Ms Olympia line-up, such was the incredible standard. You will see 23 amazing international BODYBUILDING WOMEN competing against each other in one massive class. They became locked together in a titanic battle for the top positions with the main battle being between LESA LEWIS, GAYLE MOHER, DAYANA CADEAU and new Pro YAXENI ORIQUEN.
Many of these women later went on to be major stars in the Ms Olympia competition. Yaxeni subsequently won the Ms Olympia title in 2005.
Jan Tana inaugurated this famous event in 1991, and it quickly became a stepping-stone to greatness for the best female pros in the world as they fought to obtain Ms Olympia qualification.
The DVD includes all rounds, Prejudging and Finals including the complete posing routines of the competitors. The eventual winner LESA LEWIS was one of the biggest, tallest, best built Pro women to ever grace a posing stage. She was simply awesome! At 5’10” and weighing almost 200lbs ripped, she had a comprehensive victory over this star studded field. This victory gained her a trip to the 1998 Ms Olympia in Prague, Czech Republic, an event shot by GMV Productions in association with Magna Media International.
