Latia Del Riviero (a.k.a.) Arminda Del Riviero (Born May 19, 1965), she began training at a ripe age of 17 years old. Her weight was 90 pounds at 4'11 foot tall. She fell in love with muscles at the tender age of six, when her uncle first showed her his biceps. Latia became involved with Hawaiian dancing, and thus started the progression into more creative arts and performances. She became a singer then pursued school at Herbert Burghoff Studios in New York City back in 1985, where she got involved with Bob Blank Studios and recorded for him. Her competitive bodybuilding career started in 1987. She won the Ms. Vancouver Lightweight and Over-All title, along with best Poser. She continued to climb the competitive field by winning the British Columbia Lightweight and again the Over-All title. After that, followed the Western Canadian Lightweight and then on to the Ms. Canadian 1991 which she also won, earning her the prestigious IFBB Pro status. Her heaviest off season weight was never more than 145-150 and relatively lean. Standing at 5'2" and weighing in 116 lbs, she was the smallest IFBB Pro athlete to compete against her bigger peers. During her professional competitive years as an IFBB Pro, there were no weight classes. She was able to stand her own in the field with one of the best physiques in the sport with excellent shape, proportion and symmetry. Until today, she remains with the conviction that one day she will do a come back but in her own terms. She is active with her Creative work. She is a writer, a motivational speaker, and a creative talent that can do just about anything that involves acting, dancing, music and directing. A formidable talent that one would never expect as she stays away from drama and as she puts, 'Undesired attention' Steve Wennerstrom, the historian of Body-building titled his article on Latia as "The Stinger". He said Latia was not the run of the mill kind of girl. She could be there in front of you and by time you can count to ten, she would already have left the state. An elusive and mysterious Lady, indeed. She seems to appear when you are convinced she is gone for good, and disappears whenever she chooses to. She's like a chameleon and a magician, with the seduction that keeps you begging for more.
