Athletes to Watch
Below are three athletes likely to contend for the podium:
Sara Choi
Sara Choi of South Korea has been in three contests this year. She’s finished in second place twice at the Musclecontest Japan Pro and the District of Taiwan Pro.
Choi ranked sixth at the 2023 Orchid Pro. With so much show experience under her belt leading to this contest in her home country, her odds of taking home the gold are as high as they’ve ever been.

Anita Chen
Chen is a rookie who showed potential in her pro debut at the District of Taiwan Pro, where she finished in sixth place. This show has a smaller field by comparison. If Chen made proper adjustments to her prep for this show, she could be in the first callout and rank higher than her previous contest.
Eun Jung Kim
The host country is represented by six of the athletes in the field, including Eun Jung Kim, who is in her third pro season. She was fourth at the 2023 AGP South Korea Pro in April. In the 2022 edition of this contest, Eun Jung Kim scored silver, suggesting she will likely be in the mix for the win in 2023.
Other Notes
This is one of four Bikini division shows taking place on July 15, 2023. The Governors Cup Pro, Vancouver Pro, and Lenda Murray Atlanta Pro shows will also host Bikini division contests on the same day.
