Twenty-two athletes will compete at the show as they hope to qualify for the 2023 Bikini Olympia, scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 2-5 in Orlando, FL. The lineup features a combination of veterans and newcomers. The full roster of athletes is below:

Ruth Montes

Since turning pro in 2020, Ruth Montes has scored three top-five finishes. Her most recent came at the 2023 Wasatch Warrior Pro, where she ranked third overall. She is still seeking her first pro win, and there is a good chance she will earn a spot in the first callout in San Diego.

Carlee Stevenson

Carlee Stevenson earned her IFBB pro card at the 2022 NPC National Championships. The rookie already has three Pro shows under her belt in 2023, highlighted by a fourth-place finish at the Klash Series Pro.

Savannah Watchman

Utah native Savannah Watchman earned her Pro status at the 2022 NPC USA championships. She’s since appeared in three pro shows and finished in the top five in all of them. Her most recent was at the Wasatch Warrior Pro, where she finished fourth behind Montes.

Other Notes

Going into this contest, none of the athletes that will be on stage have qualified for the 2023 Olympia. The only way that a competitor can qualify for the Olympia at this phase of the season is by winning a contest.

This is one of three Pro Bikini division shows taking place on this particular weekend. The Pittsburgh Pro, scheduled for Saturday, May 13, and the Tropicarium Budapest Pro in Budapest on Sunday, May 14, will also have Bikini division competitions.
