Bikini Olympia 2025 prejudging - reportage

The atmosphere was electric from the first moment. Defending champion Lauralie Chapados came in great form and with elegance of her own, but the competition this year is huge. The 2022 champion Maureen Blanquisco drew the most attention, showing phenomenal form with perfect symmetry and a narrow waist. She seems determined to reclaim her crown.

However, other stars have also entered the fray for the top rungs. The reigning Arnold Classic champion, Vania Auguste, has confirmed her position as one of the favourites. The first, all-important invitational also featured Aimee Delgado, Jasmine Gonzalez and Ashlyn Little, who all look like they could shuffle the cards at the top. And of course we can't forget the legend Ashley Kaltwasser, a three-time Olympia winner who is always perfectly poised.
