Bikini Division Athletes to Watch

The 2024 World Classic Pro Bikini winner, Reyna Preez Mecalco, is not in this lineup. One of these three contenders will likely leave as champion.

Ashley Kaltwasser

Ashley Kaltwasser made her 2025 season debut at the Mile High Pro and left with her 51st career win. The three-time Bikini Olympia champion is already qualified for the 2025 Olympia, meaning her spot on that stage is not at risk for this event.

Ashley Hampton

Ashley Hampton won two contests in 2024, including the Southern Muscle Showdown Pro, which qualified her for the 2025 Olympia. She did not have to compete in this show, but it is an opportunity to test herself against Kaltwasser and gauge her progress leading up to the 2025 Olympia.

Brittany Gillespie

Brittany Gillespie has been hunting for an Olympia qualification throughout the season. Her most recent contest was the 2025 Toronto Pro Supershow in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where she claimed silver behind winner Jessica Neary. This is Gillespie’s fourth pro show of 2025.
