Bikini Division Athletes to Watch

Many fans will pay attention to this show because of Ashley Kaltwasser’s pursuit of 50 pro wins. Here are the favorites in this contest.

Ashley Kaltwasser

The three-time Bikini Olympia champion sits at 48 pro wins going into this show, the most of any IFBB Pro League athlete. Her fans want her to reach 50 career wins; she’s well on her way.

Kaltwasser’s most recent win came at the 2024 Vancouver Pro. She has five pro wins this season. The 2024 Tokyo Pro is her ninth contest of 2024. If Kaltwasser wins, the Olympia qualification won’t be awarded; only show winners advance to the Olympia.

Ji Bin Park

Ji Bin Park was in the 2023 Bikini Olympia lineup; tied for 16th overall. Her most recent showing was at the 2024 TW Pro, where she finished second to winner Sol Han. Ji Bin Park aims to earn her way onto the Olympia stage for the fourth straight season.

Yume Kurokawa

Yume Kurokawa enters her sixth show of the 2024 season, this time representing the host country. Travel is unlikely to impact her performance. Her most recent show was the 2024 Patriots Challenge Pro, where she finished fourth. She still needs a pro win to qualify for the 2024 Olympia.
