Ashley Kaltwasser

The all-time winningest athlete in IFBB Pro League history has 45 wins going into this show. Ashley Kaltwasser won two of those shows this season and aims to win 50.

This show is in Kaltwasser’s current city of Las Vegas. Not having to travel could serve her well. As a winner this season, a top three finisher at the 2023 Olympia, and a three-time Olympia champion, her spot in the 2024 Olympia is already secured. She is the defending champion of this contest.

Sierra Swann

Sierra Swann finished second to Kaltwasser at the 2024 Optimum Classic Pro on May 25, 2024. This will be the second pro show of 2024 for her. She is trying to qualify for the Olympia for the fourth straight year. She has never reached the top 15 in her three previous Olympia appearances.

Valeria Fedorenko

Valeria Fedorenko has entered two shows in 2024. She placed eighth at the Pittsburgh Pro and fifth at the New York Pro one week later. She has Olympia experience, having placed outside the top 15 in 2022.

Fedorenko had qualified for the 2023 Olympia by winning that year’s Fitness Authority Poland Pro but did not compete in the 2023 Olympia.

Other Notes

This is one of two Bikini division contests on June 1, 2024. The other is at the Miami Muscle Beach Pro in Miami, FL. That contest winner also qualifies for the 2024 Olympia if not already qualified.
