2026 Figure Olympia Prejudging Report

Update: Lola Montez won the 2026 Figure Olympia. Jessica Reyes Padilla finished second and Denise Zwinger-Tynek third.

Joe Weider’s 2026 Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend has taken over Sin City from September 24-27. Top contenders from the Figure division went toe-to-toe on September 25 during prejudging rounds, which began at 9:30 am (PDT) inside the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall. 

Cydney Gillon announced her retirement in 2024 after dominating the Figure Olympia eight times in a row. In her wake, Rhea Gayle rose to the occasion and secured the vacant crown, but contenders Lola Montez and 2023 Masters Olympia winner Jessica Reyes Padilla were on the podium nearby. 

In the final callout, Rhea Gayle’s leg fullness and definition were notable improvements from last season. It gave her front poses more pop, allowing for stronger stage presence. However, Lola Montez’s etched-in abs and tapered waist made her an instant standout onstage. Denise Zwinger-Tynek turned heads with a fuller look while still managing to maintain shredded detail. Jessica Reyes Padilla was in the running as well thanks to top-notch aesthetics. The judges are in for a tough night as we head into the finals!
