Four-time Ms. Olympia Andrea Shaw and 14 other IFBB Pro League Women’s bodybuilders entered the 2024 Ms. Olympia contest in Las Vegas, NV, on Friday, Oct. 11.
These athletes qualified for the O with hopes of leaving Las Vegas as the world champion of the division. To do that, though, they will have to go through Shaw, who has dominated the show since 2020.
The pre-judging round was held in the morning at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Athletes were placed in numerical comparisons and introduced to the crowd individually.
The list of competitors is below:

Commentary
This was one of the most anticipated contests of the day. IFBB Pro League president Jim Manion was in attendance, and many fans stood behind the full seating area.
The first callout featured Shaw and 2024 Rising Phoenix winner Angela Yeo in the middle. Fan support was split between the two. Head judge Sandy Williamson put them through two rounds of posing.
The last callout of the opening round was no surprise to anyone in attendance. Shaw and Yeo posed against each other in the center. This title is clearly between them.
Finals on Friday Night
The top 10 from pre-judging advance to the Finals, held Friday night at the Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas, where the 2024 Ms. Olympia will be crowned.
