Women’s Bodybuilding Winner — Chelsea Dion

Dion was one of four athletes in this contest and the clear winner in the judges’ eyes. She appeared to be more defined here than when she placed third at the 2025 Triple O Dynasty Pro. She is the sixth woman to qualify for the 2025 Ms. Olympia with this victory. 

Women’s Physique Winner — Barbara Menage

Menage was dominant in the Women’s Physique category. She competed in the largest field of opponents and showcased why she has ranked fourth on the Olympia stage on four occasions. She will try to crack the top three at the 2025 Olympia.

Wellness Winner — Kassandra Gillis

This is Gillis’ second consecutive win of the season. She won the 2025 Sampson Showdown Pro on March 29, 2025. Maintaining a physique great enough to win two pro shows that are far apart is no small feat. 

Gillis was already qualified for the 2025 Wellness Olympia, and her win here means no other athlete earned a trip to Las Vegas.
