A change is coming to the Wings of Strength Rising Phoenix contest. A new policy of reallocation of funds is under way. As a result, the prize money form the Rising Phoenix is going to be reduced. Economics did play a role in this decision. Although it was not admitted to, inflation is having a negative impact on all aspects of life. Sports are not going to be shielded from an economic crisis. Another explanation relates to the fact that the Ms. Olympia returned in 2020. To fans, this is a major betrayal. The official statement from the Wings of Strength was that funds are going to be distributed in a way that continues to support the sport. The details were not specific, but fans can reach certain conclusions. Open class women’s bodybuilding is still trying to be phased out by certain promoters. The Rising Phoenix World Championships began in 2015. Created in response to the removal of the Ms. Olympia, it offered higher prize mony compared to other contests. For now, Rising Phoenix is active. The concern is about its survival and decline in funds.
