Athletes to Watch
Fans should watch these three contenders who could take the title and Olympia qualification.
Madison “Madi” Begley
Madison Begley placed fourth at the 2024 Optimum Classic Pro on May 25, 2024, exceeding expectations for newcomers to the pro ranks. With four weeks to make adjustments, fans can expect a better version of her physique this time. She turned pro at the 2023 NPC USA Championships.
Jamie Mckenzie
Jamie Mckenzie is a Masters competitor but enters non-Masters events, including the 2024 Charlotte Pro, where she placed sixth. Mckenzie can hold more of the judges’ attention in a smaller lineup like this.
She seeks her first pro win in an Open division. She won the Masters Over 40 division at the 2024 Emerald Cup earlier this season.
Natasha Peay
Fourth-year pro Natasha Peay has yet to win a pro show but has shown improvement every year since 2020. Her best pro finish thus far was eighth at the 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro. This will be her 2024 season debut.
Other Notes
This is one of two Wellness division shows scheduled for June 22-23, 2024. The other is at the 2024 Flex Weekend Pro in Milan, Italy, on June 23. The winner of that show can also qualify for the Olympia.
