Her greatest breakthrough in the IFBB league was in the following year during the 2002 IFBB South West Pro CupArlington, Texas-USA, where she clinched the 3rd best overall title in the female heavyweight category.
Since then, she has taken part in a number of IFBB competitions which have been the highlight of her rich seasoned career.

The Controversy
Like most bodybuilders, Christine Envall’s career has been marked with it’s fair share of controversy. For example in 1995 during the NPCA/IFBB Australian Nationals, she was awarded her IFBB pro status without being judged. Reason being that her physique didn’t warrant her to compete in the same category as amateur bodybuilders.
Additionally, in the same year during the NPC-A/IFBB Australasian Championships in Sydney she was ranked 3rd, simply because her very lean profile did not set a good example for other women.
Personal life
Despite her very successful and public career, Christine Envall has managed to lead a very private life. Nevertheless, she is married to the co-founder of International Protein Troy Bremner. She was born in a family of three and has one sister Zoe Hauser and a brother Michael Envall.
