Athletes to Watch
Three athletes are considered early favorites to be in contention for the win.
Romina Basualdo
Romina Basualdo has been on the Olympia stage five times, placing as high as third in 2017. She was not in the 2024 Olympia and placed sixth at the 2024 Atlantic Coast Pro. This will be her first competition of the 2025 season.
Renata Guimaraes
Renata Guimaraes is a Masters competitor that also competes on the Open circuit. She last stepped onstage at the 2024 Battle of the Bay Pro, where she won the Masters division and placed eighth in the Open. This is her third season in the pro ranks, and she is looking for her first career Olympia qualification.
Nedjie Thompson
Nedjie Thompson placed sixth in the 2024 Battle of the Bay Pro, her most recent contest. She turned pro in the 2022 NPC Universe & NPC National Fitness Championships but has yet to win a show in the pro ranks. According to experts who follow the category, she is considered an athlete with the potential to succeed. A show like this could be where she starts showing the potential she has worked on throughout her offseason.
