Bikini Division Athletes to Watch

The Bikini division is stacked in Pittsburgh. Here’s who to keep eyes on:

Ashley Kaltwasser

The Bikini division show features 22 competitors — the most out of the six for the weekend. Among those competitors is Ashley Kaltwasser, the record-holder for most pro show wins of any IFBB Pro League athlete with 44.

The three-time Bikini Olympia champion is already locked into the 2024 Bikini Olympia in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 10-13, 2024, but she has her sights set on 50 career wins.

Aimee Leann Delgado

Standing in Kaltwasser’s way is the 2023 Pittsburgh Pro winner, Aimee Leann Delgado. Delgado defeated Kaltwasser for that title, but Kaltwasser placed ahead of Delgado at the 2023 Olympia.

This has become an entertaining rivalry for fans, pushing both athletes to greater heights. Delgado is also locked into the 2024 Olympia.

India Paulino

Longtime competitor India Paulino will return to the competitive stage for the first time this season in Pittsburgh. The former Bikini International winner most recently competed in this show in 2022 and placed fifth. She won the show in 2015 and 2012.

Men’s Open Guest Posing

The special attraction of this event is that several of the Men’s Open stars arrive in Pittsburgh to guest pose in one of their final appearances before they begin prep for the Olympia. This tradition goes back decades — Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler were featured together in the early 2000s.

The 2024 exhibition features stars of multiple divisions. The roster scheduled to appear on the show as of May 10, 2024, is below, including the reigning Mr. Olympia, Derek Lunsford.

  • Samson Dauda
  • Martin Fitzwater
  • Andrew Jacked
  • Urs Kalecinski
  • Hunter Labrada
  • Derek Lunsford — 2023 Mr. Olympia
  • Nick Walker
