By the late 1970s, women had discovered the sport of competitive bodybuilding and were doing the same kind of training as their male counterparts. The Caesars Grand Prix World Cup was a contest created specifically for the film. The international field of 15 competitors was by invitation only and the women were hand-picked by the production staff of the 'Pumping Iron' movie.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eThe greatest focus is on Bev Francis and Rachel McLish. Bev Francis had no bodybuilding experience when she arrived in the US and was trained during filming by 1972 AAU Mr. America, Steve Michalik, who also guest posed in the film. Bev later became one of the top competitors in the sport in the late 1980s. In the Ms Olympia competition, Bev was 3rd in 1988 and 1989 and 2nd in 1990 and 1991.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003eMcLish, a two-time Ms. Olympia winner (1980 and 1982), was the most successful woman in the sport's history at that time. She had done more than probably any other woman to popularize the sport, and is still active and a popular icon of women’s bodybuilding today.
