Khadr was forced to miss the 2024 Olympia with a neck injury. She announced ahead of the show that she would focus on her health and decided to sit out. There will be a strong group battling for position early on Friday afternoon. That includes runner-up Jaclyn Baker. This is one of the major battles to watch as the show progresses while Tamara Vahn and Michell Fredua-Mensah will also be in the mix.

This is exactly the group that headlined the first callout, along with Amber Staffen. Vahn and Fredua-Mensah spent time in centerstage so the judges could get the best look possible early on. A majority of the first callout was brought back out but there were two absences.

Both Fredua-Mensah and Vahn were brought back out for the final callout. This could be the battle to watch heading into the finals on Friday night as judges brought them back out one final time to end the prejudging round.
