Oksana Grishina to Make Her Return at the 2020 Olympia!

The queen of the Women’s Fitness division is looking to make a return to action!

While we thought we saw the last of four-time Ms. Fitness Olympia Champion, Oksana Grishina back in 2017. Retiring after her fourth straight victory, Oksana Grishina has moved on to other ventures in the fitness and bodybuilding world. But now it seems that the once dominant Fitness champion is looking to make her return to the stage.

Sometimes retirement can be the best option for an athlete, especially one who goes out on top. Like Lee Haney who dominated the Olympia eight straight times without suffering a defeat during his reign, Oksana Grishina dominated the Fitness category and seemed to have a complete stranglehold over the division.

But according to a recent Instagram post, Oksana Grishina is looking to make a comeback and once again assert herself as the Ms. Fitness Olympia.

The Olympia is the most prestigious event in the world and I am so excited and honored to return to Las Vegas to compete along side the best of the best.” Dan Solomon, Chief Olympia Officer, adds “Grishina is quite possibly the most talented IFBB professional athlete to ever compete in any division, on any stage. Her showmanship and athleticism are legendary and we are excited to welcome her back to the Olympia. The 2020 Olympia lineup, in all divisions, will be unlike anything we’ve ever seen. This is only the beginning.” The Russian born fitness star has also gained popularity in Pole Fitness competition, a sport that has grown rapidly in recent years.
