The 2024 Figure Olympia finals were held on Friday, Oct. 11, 2024, at Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas, NV. Prejudging featured all the qualified contestants who arrived in Las Vegas to compete.
Out of those competitors, the top 10 were invited to return to the stage for the finals to crown the 2024 champion. This group was led by seven-time winner Cydney Gillon, who was believed to be the favorite by many fans of the division.
The fans were right, but it’s going to be the final time. As she accepted her medal, Gillon told host Bob Cicherillo that she would be retiring from competitive bodybuilding after winning her eighth title.
