The 2008 Ms. International will be Yaxeni Oriquen’s 38th pro contest in a career where she debuted in 1994. Now in her 15th year as an IFBB pro, the majestic Venezuelan has literally done it all. A 2005 Ms. Olympia winner, as well as a winner of the Ms. International in 2002, 2003, and 2005, she is one of only three women who have won the Ms. International and Ms. Olympia in the same calendar year. Yaxeni has also been a two-time champion at the GNC Show of Strength, as well as the 2004 Night of Champions winner. Entering her 11th consecutive Ms. International, Yaxeni is hoping to become the first four-time winner – an accomplishment Iris Kyle will also be chasing.
