Notable events

[edit]
  • This was Margaret Martin's 2nd Ms Rising Phoenix overall award win.
  • This was Sheila Bleck's 1st Ms Rising Phoenix best poser award win.
  • On September 25, 2015, in an interview with Dave Palumbo, Kyle announced she will be coming out of retirement to compete at the 2016 Wings of Strength Rising Phoenix World Championships.[7] Although Iris Kyle stated she wanted to compete at the 2016 Wings of Strength Rising Phoenix World Championships, the IFBB told her that she needed to either win the 2015 Puerto Rico Pro, 2015 Toronto Pro Supershow, the 2015 Omaha Pro, the 2016 Chicago Pro, the 2016 Lenda Murray Pro AM, and the 2016 PBW Tampa Pro, or be one of the top 7 IFBB female bodybuilders to accumulative points implementing the IFBB Tier 4 point system. Iris was angered at the IFBB, stating that she was entitled to compete for the fact she is the most successful bodybuilder, male or female, ever. Iris said that she was offered to do some work with them that she doesn't "agree with", but declined the offer. While the IFBB did later allow her a special invite to the 2016 Wings of Strength Rising Phoenix World Championships, she declined to compete, instead focusing on training her boyfriend, Hidetada Yamagishi, for the 2017 Arnold Classic Men's Physique and focusing on their business venture.[8]
  • Debi Laszewski, Bonnie Switzer-Pappas, and Catherine LeFrançois qualified but did not attend the 2016 Rising Phoenix World Championships.
  • The 2016 Rising Phoenix World Championships was featured in was featured in season 1, episode 2 of Vice Sports' documentary SWOLE in the episode called The Last of the Iron Sisters.
