Ms. Olympia 2025 prejudging | Reportage

The most prestigious fight in women's bodybuilding is here! The Ms. Olympia stage in Las Vegas hosted an incredible show of muscle and strength. Five-time and reigning champion Andrea Shaw once again took center stage for her historic sixth title. But standing in her way is her biggest rival and last year's runner-up, Angela Yeo, who brought the form of her life!

The Ms. Olympia category is the royal discipline of women's bodybuilding, combining massive muscle mass with sculpted aesthetics. Andrea Shaw has been its absolute ruler for the last five years. Her combination of size, shape and pose is almost flawless. But this year, Angela Yeo has shown that she is ready to take the champion down more than ever. She was incredibly dry, sculpted and full of confidence.

Final Evocation - Top four in a straight fight

The tension in the hall built up as the judges called the top four for the final comparison. Here the decision was made as to who would battle it out for the medals.

• Leyvina Barros
• Ashley Lynette Jones
• Angela Yeo
• Andrea Shaw

Of course, the main focus was on the duel between Andrea Shaw and Angela Yeo. Andrea once again showed off her brutal back in a "back double biceps" pose that probably gave her a slight edge. But Angela Yeo countered with incredible hardness and sculpting. Also showing great form were Leyvina Barros and Ashley Lynette Jones, who shocked the crowd and will be fighting for bronze.

Will Shaw defend her throne?

Prejudging showed us an incredibly evenly matched battle. Will Andrea Shaw manage to hold her nerve and win her sixth title, or will Angela Yeo finally find the recipe to beat her? The finale promises to be an epic battle!
