Yeah, I personally think she had a much more pleasant physique when she won the nationals in Argentina. She really did screw herself up trying to win the Olympia. But as I said, that was her choice. Since she has been in the USA she got married to a man and is completely happy. My wife quit long before reaching the "monster" stage and still kept her femininity. The Olympia was not worth it. She beat Maria Calo on that same stage as a heavy weight amateur in 1990 going UFBB pro 1st.
I remember in 2001 having a conversation with Mike Matarazzo by phone. He told me that as time went on he had to also make the decision as to whether or not he was willing to continue doing what it takes to chase the Olympia dream. Of course he chose to get out. This is very common in most sports at the pro level. Imagine how many guys who race dragsters just quit being willing to go out in a ball of flames.
