Bodybuilding career

Last 3 Centimeters

As a Junior All-American at the University of Florida, Erin Stern had been competing in pentathlons and heptathlons. She missed the qualifying standard for the Beijing Olympics by three centimeters.

Dejected, Erin Stern was forced to give up her Olympics dreams. “I’m a little short for a high-jumper,” says the statuesque 5-foot-8 Stern, chuckling. “I gave it my all, but I couldn’t make the last three centimeters.”[3]
