Borreby or alpinid?
She's maybe too young, but i think she's a Borreby:
She looks like it a bit too young perhaps, but she looks like she will be a rather softer and rounded variant of the Borreby(Alpinoid like). Another important thing which I wish to point out is that you can sometimes confuse Borreby with West-Baltid although this is relatively rare. I just wanted to point this out in relation to everything else I have said.
I think Borreby have Pykno-Athletic bodies usually, so they aren't as pyknomorphic as Alpinoids. If they were they wouldn't be as sucessfull in some of their specialist sports. So they are very often muscular.
This is not body of a typical Pyknomorph.

So when they are trained, they might even lean more towards mesomorphy, while when they're old and too fat they appear more pyknomorphic.
The reason why they're good in strongmen competitions is that they retain muscles of mesomorphy with additional body fat from pyknomorphy which serves as some sort of a ballast against weights they lift. Many heavy lifters have lot of fat, muscles are needed to lift huge weights but techniques often rely on several phases of lifting between which weight needs to be placed somewhere "to rest" until individual is ready for the next phase, and for that more mass is needed and fat finds it's use.
