The sound was much crisper and clearer in this video than in the Ms. International 2001 Pre-Judging video. The audience is loud, however, the routine music comes across perfectly audible on video.  The sound quality was much better because GMV had a direct audio line in from the sound system; whereas this was not the case in the Ms. International 2001 Pre-Judging video. The camera work was shot with care, two camera positions are being used to cover the stage. 

Wayne mentioned that this event was Eva Sukupova's retirement contest. Also, GMV interviewed every competitor, however, the interviews were primarily done through an interpreter and were not so entertaining. In fact, Wayne felt the translated interviews were "bloody awful".  

Pros about the video

  • The best competitors from around the world
  • Interviews with some competitors
  • Up close and personal (You get judging quality views)
  • Sound much better than in Ms. International 2001 Pre-Judging
Cons about the video
  • None 

Final Thoughts

This video definitely surpassed my expectations. I'm sure many people haven't even heard of GMV's Women's Muscle Power line of video products. The talent and class of female bodybuilders in Prague in 1998 was simply unbelievable. Many future Ms. Olympia and Ms. International champions were competing in this video. You cannot go wrong with Women's Muscle Power 9.
