She win in Tampa pro this year beating Sheronica Henton and Rachel Daniels.

This is the official scorecard, you.can see it in result Woman Physique Division

she got bigger and more conditioned this time around. idk if she cracks top 6. depends how judges like the old guard of natalia/sarah and the new big girls up and coming

Aug 26, 2026 - permalink

I’m rooting for Nadia Capotosto; I hope she pulls off the upset of a lifetime and makes it to the podium, even though, realistically speaking, she’ll likely finish between fifth and seventh place 🌚 (with all due respect to Andrea, Leyvina, and Alida, but at the Olympia, we root for the Italians).

Anyway, Andrea will win, but I hope Leyvina beats her

Sep 03, 2026 - permalink

I'm italian too but realistically is difficult that Nadia can reach top 5 ( probably She place 7th or 8 th)

At three week from Olympia this is a complete list of qualified athletes https://www.ifbbpro.com/2026-olympia-competitors/

Figure and Wellness seem really interesting, with at least 20 athetes each of top level

Any think of who can win and Who can be a surprise in various categories?

Anyome want express his preview also on only one or two division?

Olympia is near, express your opinion on this show

they gotta cap all divisions to 20-25 competitors. both mens physique and bikini are at 50. figure in the 30s and wellness in the 40s. just too many people competing. its supposed to be the championships of bodybuilding but not when there is a sea of competitors. make the change to winners of contests only and get rid of points for all divisions.

it should be even less - maybe 12-15 tops the 2027 olympia is looking to limit the numbers. current divisions with 50 in them is just stupid.

the O is supposed to be the best-of-the-best-with-honors-sir

yeah i rather 12-15 too but they prolly want more competitors paying the competing fee so 20 may be the number.

Sep 04, 2026 - permalink

Competitors don’t pay to be at the Olympia, it’s the other way around

I disagree on this point. Bodybuilding have 12 qualified athletes, Physique 16, Fitness 10, Fit model 18.

The most popular division are Figure with 32 qualified athete (and lack Alarcorn, Dutcher and Lima) almost all of top level, the top 3 of last year plus the winner of one contest, almost impossible think to reduce this number

Wellness with 42 qualified (winner of two contest plus the best 25 in points), you could reduce of ten with the best 15 in points, but in this case you lose Kawashima,Calkins and Karla Sanchez. Do you really want this?

Bikini is the most popular and mainstream category in female bodybuilding. It really important for who love female muscle that this category continue to grow, so we can see one on this girl like supermodel or actress in a popolar action movie. More this category become popolar and more new young girls want compete in it. Besides condition and size of bikini continue to improve and we all know that actual bikini are more shredded than figure of 15 year ago.

This'll be Andrea's last win.

This'll be Andrea's last win.

I think so too. Paula,Meg,Leyvina,Ranya are gonna juice like crazy this offseason to catch her size and conditioning. I think all four pack on 15 pounds of muscle and give Andrea a run for her money next season. Ashley has a shot if she gets shredded.

Alcione, Jessica Cereja and Saionara Rebel just pulled out

The two Brazilians Figure girls won't be at Olympia, unfortunately. Beatriz Almeida pulled out too.

A very shame the lack of Jessica and Saionara. And overall Karla Sanchez in wellness.

My picks for the Figure, Women's Physique, and Women's Bodybuilding categories at the 2026 Ms. Olympia—mainly because those are the three categories that interest me the most and that I know the most about; I don't know much about the athletes in the other categories, and I'd rather not comment on what I don't know.

2º Rhea Gayle - England

3º Natalia Soltero - Mexico

4º Denise Zwinger-Tynek - Germany

5º Sara Pozzer - Italy

Women's Physique
