2024 Chicago Pro Womens Predictions
Contest Coverage is Sponsored by MUTANT
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock or not paying attention to bodybuilding, then you are likely aware that the 2024 Chicago Pro is quickly approaching. The festivities are going to take place over two days on July 19th and 20th. There are 2024 Olympia qualifications on the line for these contests. If the winner hadn’t already qualified, then they can add their names to the roster of the world’s best in their divisions.
Earlier, we covered the men’s side of the stage. Now, it’s the ladies’ turn. We will look into our imaginary crystal ball and see who could come out of the five competitions as Chicago Pro champions. The competitor list for each division is included.
Women’s Bodybuilding (Ms. International)
- Mayla Ash
- Patty Corbett
- Cris Goy
- Hunter Henderson
- Nidia Hermosilla Ocampos
- Lisa Kudrey
- Christina Nalley
- Sherry Priami
- Wendy Sanchez
- Kyna Squarey
- Monica Vega
The Ms. International title is on the line for the Women’s Bodybuilding division. A couple of familiar names are on this list such as Mayla Ash and Sherri Priami. Ash was seventh at the 2023 Olympia, and Priami is coming off a runner-up finish at the 2024 Mr. Big Evolution Pro.
The athlete to watch in this show is Hunter Henderson. She is a world-record holding powerlifter that turned pro in 2021. Her pro debut was at the Tampa Pro that year, and she nearly won it. With three years to improve, she will be in the mix. However, we will go with experience and give Ash the nod.
- Mayla Ash
- Hunter Henderson
- Sherry Priami
Figure
- Cierra Alexis
- Amanda Almodovar
- Danielle Barros
- Yukina Betz
- Zulfiya Bitiyeva
- Caeleigh Bowman
- Thais Cabrices-Werner
- Delisa Davis
- Adela Diaz
- Peyton Dutcher
- Nelly Gonzalez
- Barbara Kiss
- Andi Lampart
- Georgina Lona
- Marcel Mayfield
- Elizabeth Nieder
- Cherish Richardson
- Mayra Rocha
- Stacey Steiner
- Chie Terui
- Tamika Tucker
Cherish Richardson won the Lenda Murray Atlanta Pro one week before this show. So, there is a chance she may bow out of the lineup for Chicago. If she is locked in and chooses to compete anyway, we are picking her for the win. Several athletes could join her in the top three, but Stacey Steiner is on the come-up, and Zulfiya Bitiyeva was third in Atlanta. That is as good of a top three as you could see in any non-Olympia show.
- Cherish Richardson
- Zulfiya Bitiyeva
- Stacey Steiner
Bikini
- Hope Castell
- Nicole Cerrini
- April Conley
- Nina Di Tommaso
- Katiuska Gintili
- Reijuana Harley
- Lizzie Martinez
- Koa Robinson
- Jule Schwabe
- Cindy Van Empel-Popowich
- Tianna Weymouth
- Jessica Wilson
The Bikini division lineup is stacked. Reijuana Harley is already qualified for the Olympia. If she wins, then no qualification will be awarded. Jessica Wilson was the 2023 Master’s Olympia Champion, and she hopes to earn her ticket to Las Vegas in her first show of the year. After an impressive finish in Vancouver, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Tianna Weymouth make her way into the top three again in Chicago. We expect to see Harley hang on to edge out the other ladies from earning their Olympia qualification at this show.
- Reijuana Harley
- Jessica Wilson
- Tianna Weymouth
Women’s Physique
- Paloma Barba
- Sarah Bow
- Sammica Cash
- Suzanne Davis
- Gioconda Diaz
- Tricia Downing
- Lenka Ferencukova
- Ana Harias
- Rachael Heffner
- Natalie Juron
- Christina Kremser
- Ji Hye Lee
- Stacey Lewis
- Amanda Machado
- Evon Pennington
- Hayley Perry
- Xin Qi
- Marcie Simmons
- Romana Skotzen
- Autumn Swansen
- Nadia Vandal
Ana Harias is already locked into the Olympia thanks to her win in Atlanta, and momentum is on her side going into the Windy City. Amanda Machado was second to Harias in Atlanta, and she is ready for the rematch. Ji Hye Lee will be making her return to the stage after missing the entire 2023 season. She was 14th at the 2022 Olympia. We see them in the top three, but we see Machado redeeming herself by winning this time around.
- Amanda Machado
- Ana Harias
- Ji Hye Lee
Wellness
- Sunny Andrews
- Ruth Bentson
- Pierrette Ebami
- Stephanie Jones
- Germier Morgane
- Yami Partridge
- Cara Saunders
There are seven competitors in the Wellness lineup for the Chicago Pro, which will make Johnny Styles’ job a little easier. As always, we rely on our in-house Wellness expert to make the call for this division. Here is how he sees it.
The 2024 edition of the Chicago Pro will play host to seven IFBB Pro Wellness athletes taking the stage, and only one will win the show and the coveted Olympia qualification. Many would say this would be an easy show for Doctor Sunny Andrews, who has returned to the stage with a new package under the guidance of Coach Chris Gurunlian. She's the heavy favorite indeed.
Next to watch is Yami Patridge, oddly coached by the Doc herself, Yami has made huge improvements and if she comes in the way she did in Miami, we might get a coach vs athlete showdown.
Rounding out our top three, we have Morgane Germier, a taller competitor but with all the right tools, she competed at Big Evolution and lacked a bit in conditioning but has had time to get harder and can squeeze into that top callout.
From 7 world class athletes the #GodfatherOfWellness would tell you to watch those 3 mentioned. But we won’t know until they show up next to each other.
- Sunny Andrews
- Yami Patridge
- Morgane Germier
