The 2025 1 Bro Bikini Pro, scheduled for Saturday, April 19, 2025, in Maidenhead, United Kingdom, marks a pivotal Olympia qualifying event in the IFBB Pro League calendar. As the first UK-based Bikini division pro show of the year, this contest offers a coveted ticket to the 2025 Bikini Olympia in Las Vegas, Nevada (Oct. 9–12). With none of the seven confirmed athletes currently qualified, the stakes are at an all-time high.
Confirmed Competitor Lineup
Seven elite Bikini competitors representing five countries are set to take the stage:- Lorena Blanco Pita – Spain
- Noemi Cosentino – Italy
- Charlotte Ellis – United Kingdom
- Luca Katai – Hungary
- Nora Neumann – Germany
- Lisa Reith – Germany
- Anna Setlak – Italy
Top Contenders to Watch Closely
Lisa Reith (Germany)
Reith enters this show as the frontrunner, coming off a bronze finish at the 2025 FIBO Pro Championships. With two Olympia qualifications already under her belt (2023, 2024), she’s hungry for a third consecutive appearance. Her stage presence, conditioning, and consistency make her a dominant threat.Charlotte Ellis (United Kingdom)
As the sole UK representative, Ellis carries the hopes of the home crowd. She impressed with a second-place finish at the 2025 Taiwan Pro and is peaking at the right time. A win here would not only earn her Olympia debut but also make her the first British Bikini athlete qualified in 2025.Anna Setlak (Italy)
A 2024 Olympia alum, Setlak is beginning her 2025 season with renewed focus. Though she placed outside the top 15 last year in Las Vegas, her previous win at the 2024 ProMuscle Italy Pro proves she has the capability to clinch first place. Her structure and posing finesse are noteworthy assets.Rising Names and Wildcards
While the top three grab headlines, athletes like Nora Neumann and Luca Katai cannot be discounted. Both have shown flashes of excellence and could disrupt predictions with peak conditioning. With this being the only Bikini Olympia qualifier held in the UK this season, expect every athlete to bring a dialed-in package.Simultaneous Pro Qualifier Expands the Field
Running alongside the pro show is a pro qualifier event. The Bikini overall winner from the amateur ranks will earn an IFBB Pro Card and is immediately eligible to enter the pro contest that same day. This structure adds a compelling wildcard element that could shake up the final lineup hours before showtime.Global Reach of the Bikini Division
The international nature of the 2025 1 Bro Bikini Pro—with athletes from Spain, Italy, Germany, Hungary, and the UK—reflects the division's rapidly growing global appeal. It also sets the tone for the season as top-tier competitors battle for Olympia qualifications across continents.Weekend Showdown: Bikini Back-to-Back Events
This contest is one of two Bikini Olympia qualifiers taking place this weekend. The 2025 Huanji China Pro is scheduled for Sunday, April 20. With limited opportunities to earn Olympia points or secure outright wins, every show in the spring window becomes critical for athletes eyeing the Las Vegas stage.Key Event Information
