Eleven world championships will be decided during the 2025 Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, NV on October 10-11. One of these is the Bikini Olympia, where 68 of the best athletes from the IFBB Professional League participate. Preliminary judging will take place on Saturday, October 11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the finals will be held that evening at the Resorts World Theater.
Before we break down the top contenders, let’s take a look at the full list of athletes who have qualified to take their place on the big stage.
2025 Bikini Olympia lineup
Champions from the past
Lauralie Chapados
The current Ms. Bikini Olympia is Lauralie Chapados from Canada, who has been chasing this title since 2018. Now that she has it, she is determined to hold on to it. In some cases, champions take their foot off the accelerator once they reach first place. Chapados has put in even more work and she told us in our exclusive interview that it’s full steam ahead this year.
“The preparation has been absolutely fantastic, and honestly just going from strength to strength.”
Ashley Kaltwasser
Three-time champion Ashley Kaltwasser is the GOAT in the eyes of most fans. Not only does she have the most OIympia wins in her division’s history, but she also has the most overall pro wins ever in any category with 53. Even though she doesn’t have the most muscle in her category, it’s not like she’s making a symbolic appearance on the Olympia podium either. She finished second in 2024 and has a legitimate shot at her fourth world title in Las Vegas.
Maureen Blanquisco 2022 winner Maureen Blanquisco was not part of the 2024 Olympia, but she had a front row seat during the preview and likely calculation of her return to the podium. She will look to make history herself by trying to regain the title after losing it on stage. If she can do that, she would be the second to do it. Jennifer Dorie was the first when she defeated Blanquisco in 2023.
Top contenders
Aimee Delgado
A common discussion is that sports is ‘who’s next’ as the legends and current champions move on. Many fans and experts believe that the answer for Bikini is Aimee Delgado. She was dominant outside the Olympia stage and finished fourth in Las Vegas a year ago. She has held her own on the biggest stages and is looking to take the final step to the top this year at Resorts World Theater.
Jasmine González
The bronze went to Jasmine Gonzalez last year, which was a surprise to many who don’t watch the division regularly. However, the U.S. Marine veteran proved that she is a threat to everyone in the lineup. She has said that she is looking forward to showing herself in Las Vegas when she sees the judges and fans on stage.
“I was able to achieve something I never thought I would achieve.”
Vania Augustus
Vania Auguste finished fifth in 2024, but is no stranger to making history. Earlier this season, she became the first African-American to win the Bikini International. That confidence boost and validation as an elite competitor can do a lot of things for an athlete, and it will be interesting to see how she capitalizes on that in Las Vegas.
Who do you think will leave Las Vegas with a trophy and a gold medal?
