Winner — Xinyi Chen

The pre-judging round was the only round scored in the competition. Chen earned a perfect score from the judges. Chen looked better conditioned in this show than when she placed second at the 2024 Musclecontest Vietnam Pro in November 2024.

Thanks to this win, Chen can return to the Olympia stage. She ranked 16th in the 2024 Bikini Olympia.

Second Place — Li Shuai

Shuai received second-place votes from all the judges. She seeks her first pro win and Olympia qualification. She has until Sept. 14, 2025, to achieve that feat to advance to the 2025 Olympia. Shuai ranked second at the 2024 Drogan Physique DMS Pro in April 2024.

Third Place — Nittaya Kongthun

Kongthun was the 2024 champion of this contest and was the favorite to defend. However, the judges unanimously chose her for third place.

Kongthun previously qualified for the 2025 Olympia, thanks to her win in the 2024 Musclecontest Vietnam Pro. Although she did not win this contest, her Olympia roster spot remains secured.

Other Notes

This contest hosted the first pro qualifier for the new Fit Model division. The winner was Angie Miranda, officially the first pro athlete in this category. Pro contests for the Fit Model division will not be held until 2026.

The next Bikini division show is the 2025 Bikini International, which will be part of the Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH, from Feb. 28 through March 1, 2025. It is an invite-only contest, but the winner will receive a 2025 Olympia qualification.
