IFBB Figure Pro Jenny Lynn Is Climbing Mountains

Some years are just better than others. As the last volley of fireworks split the skies over Jenny Lynn's New Year celebrations this year she wasn't necessarily ringing in a new year filled with promises of hope and prosperity. She wasn't even thinking of 2009 yet. For her 2008 was so surreal, so absolutely devastating at times that when she donned her paper hat and raised a noise maker to her trembling lips at midnight it was in near disbelief that she got out of 2008 at all.

When you are standing on the very top of a mountain there are two inexorable truths you come to know; the first is that you have just become the easiest and most visible target for virtually everyone, the second is that you have no place to go but down. Being the absolute best in the planet at anything is the ultimate achievement for an athlete, but it can be a cold and unforgiving place.

When Jenny Lynn strode on stage at the 2008 Figure Olympia, admittedly off the mark, but still very much an Olympian and still very much one of the best in the world, the immediate reaction by the media, the fans, and even many of those close to her was a unanimous “What the hell happened?”

That was the most loaded question in 2008 Pro Figure history but the question never got answered, because no one cared to ask the questions, and Jenny didn’t care to put it out there to have her life be kicked around like a soccer ball.
