Bikini Division Athletes to Watch
Twenty-eight athletes are set for the Bikini division show, and these three are considered top contenders.
Jordan Brannon
Jordan Brannon is playing with house money in this contest because she already qualified for the Olympia thanks to her win at the 2024 Legion Sports Fest Pro. If she wins, then no Olympia qualification is awarded. Even if she loses, her spot on the Olympia stage is not at risk.
Maria Acosta
Maria Acosta is coming off a fourth-place finish at the 2025 Bikini International in Columbus, OH. She was seventh at the 2024 Olympia but needs a win to qualify for the 2025 Olympia.
Romina Basualdo
Romina Basualdo has qualified for the Olympia five times but missed the 2024 edition. She made her season debut at the 2025 San Diego Pro but finished in sixth place. She expects to bounce back and place higher in this show.
