Winner — Yume Kurokawa
This was Kurokawa’s first professional win and Olympia qualification. She achieved a perfect score from the judges. The pre-judging round was the only scored round of the contest. She is the 37th athlete to qualify for the 2025 Bikini Olympia.
Second Place — Charlotte Ellis
The battle for second was close, but in the end, a single point on the scorecards separated Ellis and Cheung. Ellis improved two ranks from her fourth-place finish at the 2024 AGP Pro in May 2024. This was her 2025 season debut.
Third Place — Alum Cheung
This was Cheung’s first time stepping onstage in the 2025 season. She improved from her eighth-place finish at the 2024 Global Hong Kong Pro and showed potential as a title contender for future pro shows. She and the rest of the field behind Kurokawa have until Sept. 14, 2025, to win a pro show to qualify for the Olympia.
