The 2025 New Zealand Pro — a 2026 Mr. Olympia qualifying event — took over Auckland, New Zealand, on November 1, 2025. Sanctioned by the IFBB Pro League, this competition featured elite athletes from the Women’s Bikini division, each bringing world-class conditioning and stage presence in pursuit of Olympia qualification.
In Bikini, local favorite Kate Carroll stole the spotlight with exceptional poise, balance, and a flawless presentation that won over both judges and fans. Her commanding performance earned her the title and an early ticket to face Maureen Blanquisco — the two-time and reigning Bikini Olympia champion — at next year’s biggest bodybuilding event.
Although the date, location, and venue for the 2026 Mr. Olympia have yet to be announced, the New Zealand Pro marked another exciting stop on the qualification circuit, showcasing the depth of global Bikini talent.
