Bikini Division Athletes to Watch
Below are athletes likely to contend in first callouts in the Bikini division:
Lisa Reith
Lisa Reith competed 11 times in 2023, highlighted by her win at the Flex Pro. She finished the season at the 2023 Bikini Olympia, placing outside the top 15.
Reith’s most recent outing was the 2024 1 Bro Pro show, where she finished fourth. She must win a show to qualify for the Olympia. The deadline to qualify for the Olympia this season is Sept. 15, 2024.
Anna Setlak
Anna Setlak finished the 2024 1 Bro Pro show one spot behind Reith. She is in her fourth pro season and has shown potential to be a champion.
However, that first win has not come Setlak’s way yet. Her best finish in 2023 was second at the Sheru Classic Italian Pro. If she wins here, she will be eligible to make her Olympia debut this fall. She would join Ottavia Mazza and Alice Marchisio as the third Bikini Olympia athlete from Italy.
Francesca Stoico
After taking the 2023 season off, Francesca Stoico returned to the stage at the 2024 1 Bro Pro show and finished in the bronze position. She has seven pro wins and has been on the Olympia stage four times.
However, Stoico has never broken into the top 15 at the Olympia. Her last show before the 2024 season was the 2022 Bikini Olympia, where she tied for 16th.
