Las Vegas hosted the 62nd Mr. Olympia Weekend from September 24-27. Fitness competitors battled during prejudging rounds in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall, which kicked off at 9:30 am (PDT) on September 26.
Michelle Fredua-Mensah came into this competition aiming to make a big statement. Last year, she filled the vacant Fitness Olympia throne left behind by Missy Truscott. She continues to improve as an IFBB Pro League competitor, showcasing sharper conditioning and fullness in her lower body. Fredua-Mensah hit the stage with insane momentum after earning back-to-back titles at the Arnold Classic Ohio and UK events.
In the first callout, Jaclyn Baker found herself vying for a top spot. She’s brought up her front shot significantly, with more polish and fullness on display. She gave the champ a true test onstage. Michelle Fredua-Mensah looked to be at her all-time best throughout the physique round. Additionally, Abby Bolton, Anna Fomina, Andrea Glass, Amber Steffen, Samantha Radzai, and Sophie Gregory impressed to break into contention. The contest is razor-close heading into the finals!
