Figure Dynasty: How Nicole Wilkins Won Her Fourth Olympia - Bodybuilding.com

See The Whole Feature: bbcom.me/1S4oEdj
You've seen her dominate the Figure category on stage. Now get an exclusive look what it's like to compete as four-time Olympia winner Nicole Wilkins.
When Nicole Wilkins graced the stage at the 2014 Olympia, she came in as a seasoned pro. As she stood under the hot, beaming lights-eager to make history with her fourth Figure and first back-to-back Olympia win-she heard nothing. The roar of the crowd fell silent, and the audience's cheers were put on mute. For that single moment, everything came together for the returning champ. Focus was key.
"I thought, 'Walk slow, don't trip, hit your poses the way you need to hold them, make sure you're twisting enough, make sure your chest is lifted enough, make sure you're smiling,'" Nicole says. "I think you're so focused on what you're doing in that moment. Everything else is sort of silent. Even when they announce your name as the winner, it's all you hear. It's just you and the lights."
Nicole Wilkins spoke with Bodybuilding.com about what it was like to compete at the 2014 Olympia, and shared her thoughts on the role figure competition has played in her life.
TWO DAYS BEFORE FINALS
For Figure competitors-or any Olympia competitor for that matter-the competition is about presenting a perfect package on stage, even if things behind the scenes are a little more complicated. "Winning my first Olympia was amazing, but to then lose it and have the motivation to keep going after a divorce was difficult," Nicole says. "I mean, those are extreme highs and lows, but every one of those steps and every one of those moments has led up to this."
The week before the Olympia may be taxing for some but, despite the occasional bout of butterflies-to be expected when defending a title and standing in front of the world in a posing suit-Nicole says it was like the calm before the storm. "With the hard work behind me, it's just about enjoying the moment and having fun."
Part of that fun happened during the first night of the O at "Meet The Olympians," where competitors met fans and signed autographs. It was a place where the size of the crowd at your booth was a sign of your popularity and recognition in the field. "I remember the first year I was there," Nicole says. "I didn't have any line at all. I thought, 'Wouldn't it be awesome to have a line of people who actually knew who I was?'" This year, she had just that.
"It's exciting to know you have that big [of] an impact on people that you never even met before" she says. "I deal with women who've lost 100 pounds or guys who have lost 100 pounds or quit smoking, and they want to tell you about all the positive changes they've made in their life. That's when the reality sets in that you have a huge impact and affect people more than you realize."
It's a level of notoriety Nicole still hasn't gotten used to, and something she never takes for granted. "I'm always hoping people will still want to see me," she says. "I'm hoping that people want to talk to me and come up to my booth. I don't think I'll ever get to a point where I'll expect that. To me, it's very humbling. I'm just doing what I love."
"I went into this sport originally because I wanted it to help my career," she says. "As a personal trainer, I thought it would help my business. I could show people that I could get in good shape too. I still have that mindset."
Nicole won't be quitting figure competition anytime soon. "When you're number one at this, you want to stay number one," she says. "When I feel like I'm not getting that excitement anymore, that's when I'll know it's time to hang up the heels. I don't think I've necessarily reached my full potential yet. I still have room for growth."

[@salvagemonster3612]

Ohhh yes soooo powerful

[@jaquevius]

As someone that most would judge as "successful" via societal definitions of respect of the community and wealth, I have a different perspective of this imbalance. I've always struggled with moderation. When I was younger and it was time to compete, I went harder than everyone else (never had the genetics to be elite, but the drive to compete against nba players). When it was time to study, I went harder than everyone else (went to Duke Med School). When it was time to learn finances, grow businesses, and accumulate, I was very successful...however at what cost? I tend to go 1000% towards my goal, but at the expense at everything around me. I don't even recognize what struggles other very important people around me are having and/or I am able to live in a delusional state within my head that if I achieve the goal, then the end justifies the means. My personal story is that seeking greatness via insane dedication, while deemed admirable by people from afar, does not lead to true happiness.

B Coral Being intelligent certainly helps when you plan training, food, etc., as well as study those you’re against before going out on stage to see what little details they might be missing in their poses or suit or whatever else. Being articulate may not matter here, it’s just a by-product, but I can’t think of anything competitive in which intelligence wouldn’t give you an edge.

[@shannon2005100]

To sum up her last statement about success and balance in life, you simply can't have it all. She seems to have an under current of sadness although she is so successful in this industry.

[@BlackOpzFX]

True. She has a subtle sadness that grounds her. It prevents her from having too much ego and even at her success level she doesnt take it for granted because she doesnt feel entitled. The humbleness of her spirit is beautiful (even though leaning sad can make the down time feel worse).

[@kelleysauer1693]

Perhaps her divorce early in her career still bothers her.

I love her! I ran into her after the 2015 Olympia, where she took second place. I had just had a heartbroken experience meeting #julianamalacarne -she wasn't very nice. So when I spotted #nicolewilkins, I was afraid to approach her but she was super gracious. She turned my evening around. I am a fan and I hope she does well this year!!!

[@jessicaduran9131]

+MonkeyZorr She rolled her eyes when I asked her for a picture. I think it would have hurt less if she just rejected. I thought it was b/ she didn't speak English but when a judge walked by, she spoke perfect English. :( She was bothered and should have just said "no".

+MonkeyZorr but everything happens for a reason. As soon as that encounter was over, Nicole Wilkins walked by :)

[@kelleysauer1693]

Nicole should have won in 2015, And Erin Stern should have won in 2014.

[@jfm14]

I must admit, I've always been a bit judgmental about bodybuilding competitions. Obviously it takes an incredible amount of effort to get your body looking like that, I just have a radically different aesthetic. When she said this is a beauty pageant for fitness girls, that demystified the whole thing a bit... although I imagine these women work a lot harder than your average pageant contestant. Still can't say I'm a fan of the aesthetic any more than I was previously, but I definitely have a newfound appreciation for bodybuilders after hearing how down-to-Earth Ms. Wilkins is.

[@elease03]

You obviously never been in a pageant or any type of stage production. 99% of people who voluntarily place themselves on any type of competition stage have worked their tails off preparing.

[@jfm14]

@@elease03 As a matter of fact I've been involved in numerous stage productions and competitions as an actor, singer, dancer, crew member, etc. Plus years of competitive public speaking. I know how much work these things require and I never said bodybuilders are the only ones who work extremely hard. Based on my personal experience however, I believe the average bodybuilder works harder than the average pageant competitor. Just my opinion.

[@Amanda.c91]

"I know what i'm capable of, and i dont train for second" in her mind, she has won. Done. the mInd, the strongest most influential muscle. What a woman!

It takes years of work to gain muscle and a physique who many envy and wish they could have the mental strength to achieve such level. Many would critique on voice? on being inspiring to others but just realize throwing rocks doesn't make you any better. I admire her for such a come back after many down times she had. I pick up tips from her as her elegant walk on stage, her smile and crisp presentation. Gotta love a strong woman!

I think it's true what she said at end, that if you want to be successful at something there will be lack of balance. Why during acceptance speech does she already talk about winning five. It's like she didn't exhale hit of crack yet n already wants another hit (rush of winning, talked a lot about adrenaline). Also why thank ifbb for "letting her compete" ?? I mean she won, again
