Roelly Winklaar
Shawn: Roelly coming off a victory in Chicago against a weak lineup is a guy who can’t place in the top 10. I’m not convinced he is a top-eight Olympia athlete. However, he can bring enough to the Olympia stage to make a few guys take notice if they slip up. Roelly’s strengths are his arms, traps and legs. Problem areas are his conditioning and stage presence. He shines at smaller shows but simply gets lost in lineups that are rich in talent.
Flex: Roelly put himself back on the map by winning the Wings of Strength show in Chicago. That was the best package of size and sharp condition he’s shown since he won the New York Pro in 2010, and many of us were wondering if he was going to be a one-hit wonder. Consistency has been a real issue with Roelly, so let’s see what he brings to Vegas.
