Charlotte Ellis

Sara Choi was the winner of that contest. Ellis showed a lot of potential in her first show, and she now has a little experience to go with it.
Heather Hei Man Kam
Heather Hei Man Kam is competing in her second pro season. This will be her second pro show of 2024. She previously placed third at the 2024 Musclecontest Japan Pro, won by Nittaya Kongthun.
Heather Hei Man Kam has had over two months to improve for this contest. She seeks her first pro victory and ticket to the Olympia.
Wendy Tsai
Wendy Tsai has competed twice in 2024, finishing seventh at the Musclecontest Japan Pro and fifth in the Taiwan Pro. Tsai entered the pro ranks in 2023. She competed in three shows during her rookie year, highlighted by her sixth-place rank at the 2023 District of Taiwan Pro.
