Bikini Division Athletes to Watch
The bikini division event will receive a lot of attention due to the likely first callouts below:
Ashley Kaltwasser
Three-time Ms. Bikini Olympia Ashley Kaltwasser nearly won her fourth title at the 2024 Bikini Olympia in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 12, 2024. She ranked as the runner-up to champion Lauralie Chapados.
Kaltwasser is already qualified for the 2025 Olympia, meaning no other qualification will be issued if she wins this show. Kaltwasser is going for her 50th pro win, extending her current record as the winningest IFBB pro in history.
Ekaterina Opekunova
Kaltwasser is the firm favorite to win, but anything can happen on contest day. Ekaterina Opekunova is coming off a second-place finish at the 2024 Moscow Showdown Pro on Oct. 25, 2024, won by Eujenia Shatova. Openkunova can make headlines if she snags the win from Kaltwasser to punch her ticket to the 2025 Olympia.
Anna Thaarup
Anna Thaarup is coming off a 10th-place finish at the 2024 Koloseum Pro but will get more attention in a smaller show like this. Some experts think she will do well in pro shows once she masters her prep strategy.
