Today we have a very special guest who actually began competing at age 17 (isn't that amazing?!). In the last year, she has qualified for the 2020 Olympia, she was invited to the first ever prestigious Arnold Classic UK, and then qualified again for the 2021 Olympia. This has been such an outstanding year for her and it's such an honor to learn from her. Coming all the way from Finland, we have IFBB Professional Noora Mahonon.
