Athletes to Watch
These three competitors are the most likely to be in the final callout for the win in Sin City.
Kassandra Gillis
Canadian Kassandra Gillis has placed as high as fourth in the Wellness Olympia and was the 2023 Wellness International champion. However, she has finished second twice in 2024. Both were to Lena Meiswinkel in the Tampa Pro and Texas Pro.
Juliane Almeida
This will be Juliane Almeida’s sixth onstage appearance of the 2024 season. Her best finish was second at the Tupelo Pro in Tupelo, MS. She is in her rookie season and turned pro at the 2023 Amateur Olympia in Orlando, FL. Not many competitors have gone from the Amateur Olympia to the pro Olympia stage in one year. It would be quite an accomplishment if she were able to do so.
Maria Paullette
Maria Paulette was one of the athletes in the inaugural Wellness Olympia in 2021, and she tied for 16th place. She qualified in 2022 but did not compete. She was seventh in the 2024 Tupelo Pro one week before this contest.
Other Notes
This is one of two Wellness contests on Aug. 24, 2024. The other, which is also a 2024 Olympia qualifying contest, is the 2024 Arizona Pro in Phoenix, AZ,
