Aimee Delgado
Aimee Delgado had a successful 2023 season with five pro show wins and a sixth-place finish at the 2023 Bikini Olympia. She started her 2024 campaign in Columbus, OH, at the Bikini International during the Arnold Classic weekend, ranking second in a one-point decision to three-time defending champion Lauralie Chapados. Delgado is an early favorite in San Diego and needs a pro show win to qualify for the 2024 Olympia.
Tara Grier
Tara Grier won the 2023 Lenda Murray Atlanta Pro show to qualify for the 2023 Olympia, where she finished outside the top 15. Grier started her 2024 season ranking second to Vania Auguste at the 2024 Bikini International UK competition at the Arnold Classic UK event in Birmingham, England. The fans can look forward to a good matchup between Grier and Delgado.
Brittany Gillespie
Brittany Gillespie competed five times in her first season as a pro but did not qualify for the 2023 Olympia. Her best finish was second at the Klash Series Pro.
Gillespie starts her second pro season at this show against some serious competition, but her pro experience could make a positive difference for her.
Other Notes
This is one of two Bikini division shows slated for March 30, 2024. The other will be the 2024 Klash Series Championship Pro show in Orlando, FL. The winner of that contest will also qualify for the 2024 Bikini Olympia.
