After Impressing at the Olympia, Is Lauralie Chapados the Future of the Bikini Division?

Lauralie Chapados could be a future Olympia champion.

Let’s face it, there are so many beautiful and talented women in the Bikini Division that making a decision on who the most deserving competitor is can truly be a daunting task. What we saw at the 2018 Olympia was a vast field of gorgeous, strong, and talented women give it their all in hopes of becoming Olympia champion. At the end of the day, Angelica Teixeira proved to be too much for the other ladies in the Bikini Division, but there was still some major takeaways from the event.


In her first Olympia competition, Lauralie Chapados came out of nowhere to cut through the entire Bikini Division and take second place. Much like Chris Bumstead did in the Classic Physique division, Lauralie Chapados has burst onto the scene and has left a remarkable impression on anyone who was watching.

Coming in second place at her first Olympia appearance shows that Lauralie Chapados has what it takes to potentially become a future champion in the Bikini Division. If you have any doubts of that then you’re either blind to her beauty or just pain crazy!

If you needed any bit of convincing that Lauralie Chapados is potentially the future in the Bikini Division, then take a look below.
