Favorites to Watch

Below are three athletes who could jump up the judges’ scorecards during callouts:

Aimee Leann Delgado

Delgado is an American competitor coming off a sixth-place finish at the 2022 Bikini Olympia contest, which was won by Maureen Blanquisco. Delgado is the only athlete in this lineup who competed on that stage.

2022 marked Delgado’s Olympia debut. She needs to win a pro show to qualify for the 2023 Olympia. Delgado has two pro wins in her career, and finishing in the top six against the best in the world makes her an instant favorite for the Klash in Orlando.

Abbi Gaetano

Gaetano is from Utah and has experience winning on pro Masters stages. She won most recently at the 2022 Hurricane Pro. That was her sixth career victory, and she placed third in the open division contest.

Gaetano has yet to win a contest to qualify for the Olympia, but her structure gives her a chance to place high and maybe take the win if she peaks properly.

Priscilla Leimbacher

Leimbacher has been a professional since 2018 and made her Bikini Olympia debut in 2019 when she placed 13th. Her only pro victory thus far was at the 2019 Pittsburgh Pro. However, she has placed in the top three at the 2021 Arizona Pro.

Leimbacher took the 2022 season off, so it will be intriguing to see how the Switzerland native improved over the last two years. Unlike when she last competed, only victories earn Olympia qualifications in 2023.
