212 Bodybuilding Winner — Kerrity Bajjo

Bajjo was coming off a fourth-place finish at the 2024 212 Olympia in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 11, 2024, won by Keone Pearson. Bajjo was the big favorite going into this show and was dominant from the moment he walked onstage.

Men’s Physique Winner — Corey Morris

Morris already qualified for the 2025 Olympia by winning the 2024 China DMS Changsha Pro one week ago. Like Bajjo, Morris was the favorite and made good on those predictions.

Bikini Winner — Uyanga Bataa

This was Bataa’s second career pro win, and she claimed a perfect score from the judges. She previously won the 2023 District of Taiwan Pro. She competed at the 2024 Bikini Olympia but missed the top 15.
