The 2025 Arnold Classic crowd witnessed heated prejudging rounds in the Bikini division on March 1 in Columbus, Ohio. Among the frontrunners to win on Day 1 are Ashlyn Little, Aimee Delgado, and Vania Auguste, who will battle for gold later this evening.
The Bikini category has become one of the most entertaining spectacles of the Arnold Sports Festival. Competitors focus on symmetry, muscle tone, and aesthetics to stand out. Three-time Ms. Bikini International and reigning Bikini Olympia Lauralie Chapados decided to sit this contest out. Therefore, when the show is over, a new champion will emerge.
In the first callout, Delgado and Auguste stood out as the main focus among six athletes, placed front and center for the judges’ close evaluation. As the comparisons continued, a third callout brought back members from the initial group, with Tamekia Carter from the second callout joining them. The judges worked to determine who would secure a spot in the top five for the upcoming finals.
The final callout witnessed intense comparisons, which included Aimee Delgado, Ashlyn Little, and Vania Auguste. They went back and forth with head judge Sandy Williamson switching them around to take a closer look at their physiques. By the end of the round, it was Aimee Delgado in center stage. It’s anyone’s title heading into the finals this evening.
With the morning round wrapped up, all eyes are now on the upcoming showdown in the Bikini division. Here’s a closer look at how the action unfolded.
