I say she'll look good enough to finish fourth. Ashley Kaltwasser is reportedly hanging it up after this season and, once again, doesn't appear to have the focus. Ditto for Jennifer Ronzitti, who moved into the top five at the O and took third at the International. But don't discount India Paulino, a veteran competitor whose look never goes out of style. The Challengers: Courtney King, India Paulino, Jennifer Ronzitti, Ashley Kaltwasser, Janet LayugĪs mentioned, Courtney King will be in the mix and is the most likely to take second if she doesn't win. It's worth noting that neither of these ladies brings it in too hard or conditioned for bikini, and that often finds favor with the Olympia judging panel. What makes it fun is whether the judges agree. I prefer her presentation and brand of sass to King's, so for me the upset is an easy call. My prediction is Angelica Teixeira will continue to trend at the big show. That trend continued the next time they met onstage, and may very well continue under the Las Vegas lights. For one thing, last year's Olympia was a coup for Courtney King, who seized the top title as three-time winner and defending champ Ashley Kaltwasser fell to fourth.Īngelica Teixeira, who slid up to second at the 2016 Olympia, picked up energy in March and passed King to win the prestigious Bikini International at the Arnold Sports Festival. There's more going on in this lineup of long-limbed lovelies than you may think.
