Athletes to Watch
Below are three athletes likely to face off in first callouts:
Iluia Baba
Iluia Baba is in a different situation than her fellow athletes in this show. She is already Olympia qualified, thanks to her win at the 2023 Arizona Pro in late September. As such, she can block another contender from the Olympia lineup by racking up another win in Georgia. If Baba is successful, no athlete will receive a ticket to the Olympia from this show.
Jessica Nicole Dolias
This is Jessica Nicole Dolias’ fourth contest of the 2023 season. She finished as high as second on two occasions in 2023: the 2023 Janet Layug Battle of the Bodies and the 2023 Daytona Pro. Dolias is on the hunt for her first pro win and her Olympia debut. This is the make or break weekend for Dolias’ 2023 season; it’s either win or go home to focus on 2024.
Marioly Galarza
Marioly Galarza will enter her eighth contest of the 2023 season in Georgia. Her last outing was at the 2023 Arizona Pro, where she finished eighth overall. She has been as high as fourth twice this season. If the other podium favorites don’t bring their absolute best, the opportunity to steal a win will be there for Galarza if she is in her best shape. Galarza is in her third pro season but has yet to make her Olympia debut.
Other Notes
There are two other pro Bikini division contests worldwide on Oct. 7, 2023: the 2023 Legion Sports Fest in Reno, NV, and the 2023 Italian Olympus Pro in Milan, Italy. The winners of those contests will qualify for the 2023 Olympia if they haven’t already. The roster for the Bikini Olympia will be final following the conclusion of these contests.
