Winner — Eujenia Shatova
This was believed to be Shatova’s IFBB Pro League debut, which makes this win even more impressive. She earned all first-place votes on the scorecards in the single-round contest.
Shatova can now either focus on 2025 Bikini Olympia prep; her Olympia debut if she competes, or keep competing and try to prevent others from qualifying. Only IFBB pro show winners who are not previously qualified can earn a trip to the Olympia.
Second Place — Ekaterina Opekunova
This is Opekunova’s third runner-up finish of 2024. She previously claimed silver at the 2024 Daytona Pro and the 2024 Janet Layug Battle of the Bodies Pro. A second-year pro with potential, she still seeks her first pro win and Olympia qualification.
Third Place — Alessia Facchin
Facchin was an early favorite for this contest as a past Bikini Olympia competitor. Her most recent win came at the 2023 Orchid Pro. She could not qualify for the 2024 Olympia but has until September 2025 to qualify for the 2025 Olympia.
Other Notes
This was one of two Bikini division contests held on this particular weekend. The other was at the 2024 Nutriyummy Pro in Alicante, Spain, and the winner was Ivi Escandar, who also qualified for the 2025 Bikini Olympia contest.
