2024 Rising Phoenix Women’s Bodybuilding Show Preview

This is the 10th edition of this contest.

Written by Roger Lockridge
Last updated on August 22nd, 2024

The 2024 Rising Phoenix women’s bodybuilding show will occur on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona. This competition initially began in 2015 as the world championship event for the IFBB Pro League Women’s Open division following the end of the Ms. Olympia contest in 2014. 

The Ms. Olympia returned in 2020, but the Rising Phoenix show has continued and will celebrate its 10th edition in Arizona. The winner qualifies for the 2024 Ms. Olympia in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 10-13, 2024, if not previously qualified before this event.

2024 Rising Phoenix Roster

The full roster is below, with names in alphabetical order.

  • Irene Andersen (Sweden)
  • Mayla Ash (United States)
  • Leyvina Rodrigues Barros (Brazil)
  • Reshanna Boswell (United States)
  • Desunka Dawson (United States)
  • Julia Foery (Switzerland)
  • Selyka Givan (United States)
  • Sheena Ohlig (United States)
  • Sherry Priami (United States)
  • Andrea Shaw (United States)
  • Julia Whitesel (United States)
  • Angela Yeo (United States)

Athletes to Watch

Any of the 12 competitors could surprise the fans and judges, but these three competitors are the favorites to reach the podium:

Andrea Shaw

Four-time Rising Phoenix winner and four-time Ms. Olympia Andrea Shaw enters this show as the overall favorite. Shaw enters this show and the Olympia as the overall favorite to win her fifth championship for each. Since winning her first Rising Phoenix title in 2020, no one has come close to defeating her in competition — she has not lost a contest since placing seventh in the 2019 Rising Phoenix contest.

Angela Yeo

Yeo has finished second to Shaw all three times they have faced off onstage. Yeo is only in her third pro season, which is why many fans see her as the division’s future. She won the 2022 Chicago Pro—the only event she has competed in outside of the Olympia or Rising Phoenix. Yeo and Shaw are already qualified for the Olympia, meaning no qualification will be awarded if either wins.

Sherry Priami

2024 Chicago Pro winner Sherry Priami has momentum going into this contest but did not face either Shaw or Yeo in that contest. Priami ranked fourth in the 2023 Olympia but is already qualified for the 2024 Olympia, thanks to her win in Chicago. Her only Rising Phoenix appearance was in 2023; she finished seventh overall.

How to Watch

Fans who won’t be in Arizona can still watch the competition live by purchasing the pay-per-view livestream provided by Muscle & Fitness Plus for $39.99. The livestream will also feature the 2024 Arizona Pro, which features the other five IFBB Pro League women’s divisions.
