The 2024 Fitness Olympia finals were held at Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas, NV, on the evening of Oct. 11, 2024. Earlier in the day, the 12 contestants were compared in the Physique round, which counted for one-third of their score.
Missy Truscott and Tamara Vahn seemed to be the top two after pre-judging. When the dust settled, Truscott had bagged the gold.
The second half of the competition was the Performance round, which accounts for two-thirds of each athlete’s overall score. All 12 athletes entertained the live crowd with their unique routines.

The Play-by-Play
With 2023 champion Oksana Grishina out, we were guaranteed a new champion. 2024 Arnold Classic UK winner Jaclyn Baker paid tribute to Vegas Showgirls with her performance.
2023 Olympia runner-up Taylor Learmont had her supporters in the audience, and she wowed them with her fast-paced routine that looked effortless.
Tamara Vahn paid tribute to iconic singer Tina Turner and got the crowd going, with fans bobbing their heads while watching the performance.
Fans waited with bated breath when Truscott came out. One year ago, she suffered a knee injury during her performance. She dressed as a Spartan and performed like a gladiator while sporting a sparkling knee brace.
Once the judges’ scores were tabulated, announcer Bob Cicherillo revealed the top five —the top three earn automatic qualifications for the 2025 Olympia.
