The thing about people competing is that people shouldn't do the division in which they will necessarily place better. If that were the case 9/10 figure girls should do bodybuilding since bodybuilding is so unpopular that even a mediocre physique / figure competitor would more likely get a trophy in the bodbyuilding division.
In this case, I think she actually would fair better in the physique division than in bodybuilding at the higher level shows. I predict that she wins provincials in physique (if she's doing it) IF (and only if) she nails her conditioning. I think she's got a great shape for physique, she just needs to come in a bit tighter. Physique is all about shape, lines, symmetry, and MOST important - posing.
The girls that win physique shows are never winning because they were the 'ideal', it is more about showing what you got in a feminine, elegant manner and having decent proportions to back it up. I think Mona had by FAR the most potential out of all those girls on stage. Lise is good too, but I think there is a slight imbalance in her conditioning top to bottom which will never be favourable in the highest level shows.
EDIT: I just watched the above video and her condition is in fact pretty much where it needs to be... I only saw pics before which obviously didn't do much justice. Honestly, I'd have her winning this show. That's just me though. I just think she's just more in line with what we are sseeing at the pro shows so far - just a tiny bit too thick - but the shape is bang on.
