The 2026 Texas Pro brings two major women’s divisions to Irving, Texas, today, Friday, August 14, as the Women’s Physique Open and Women’s Figure Open lineups step onto the IFBB Pro League stage.
Promoted by Freddy Naidu and Sheilahe Brown, the Texas Pro runs across August 14–15 and features a broad professional programme. For Hardcore FBB followers, today’s Women’s Physique and Figure competitions offer two deep international fields, with recent winners, Olympia-level athletes and established professionals arriving from the United States, Europe, Asia and South America.
Women’s Physique: momentum meets experience
Lenka Ferenčuková enters Texas with the clearest recent momentum among the highlighted Women’s Physique athletes. The Czech star won the 2026 Lenda Murray Atlanta Pro just one week ago, following a Top 4 finish at the Tampa Pro the previous week. That short turnaround makes her one of the central names to watch in Texas, while also testing how effectively she can reproduce a winning look on consecutive weekends.
Sheronica Henton brings extensive pro-stage experience to the lineup. Her competitive history includes multiple Olympia appearances, and she also place runner up at Tampa Pro field earlier this month.
Jennifer Dees and Donna Jones arrive with great shape from the 2026 Chicago Pro, where Jennifer placed third and Donna finished fifth in the Women’s Physique Open winning in Masters earning the Masters Olympia qualification for 2027. Those results place both Americans firmly inside the conversation for the leading comparisons today.
Gabriela Linhartova has built strong 2026 momentum of her own. The Czech athlete placed second at the Toronto Pro Supershow and sixth at the Empro Classic Spain Pro, showing that she can contend across different international lineups. Alyssa Kiessling, Jeanette Johansson and Marianne von Gierke complete the group of highlighted challengers.

Figure: a deep international contest
The Women’s Figure Open carries its own high-level mix of proven winners and athletes capable of moving quickly through the callouts.
German superstar Lena Ramsteiner stands out on competitive record: she won the 2025 Pharlabs Mexico Pro and placed seventh at the 2025 Figure Olympia. She is already listed among the athletes qualified for the 2026 Figure Olympia, but Texas remains another important opportunity to reinforce her standing against a fresh international field.
American Tamera Berrett, is also the top favourite to win this show, after winning the Tampa Pro earlier this month presenting an outstanding physique that fits perfectly the figure division criteria, it will be a very interesting stage battle between her and Lena.
Adela Ondrejovicova also brings current podium form. The Slovakian placed third in July at the Mr Big Evolution Portugal Pro after finishing second at the 2025 Atlantic Coast Pro. Her record shows an ability to reach the first callout in substantial fields, making her another athlete likely to command attention of the judges.
Michelle Mcnamee from the US finished sixth at the 2025 Tampa Pro, while Misaki Kikuchi just placed sixth in Atlanta showing consistency and improvements in her physique. Both have demonstrated the balance and stage polish required to contend for high professional placings.
Paige Wirtz, meanwhile, competed at the 2026 Chicago Pro in July and now returns to another large domestic lineup with a recent contest behind her.
Nancy Winkel was also listed in the 2026 Tampa Pro Figure and Atlanta Pro just a week ago, giving her recent exposure to a particularly deep professional lineup. her addition strengthens a very strong Texas Pro lineup.
Why today’s contests matter
The Texas Pro arrives at a decisive point in the 2026 season, as it is one of the very last opportunity to qualify for this year’s Olympia. Some athletes are protecting momentum, some are seeking a breakthrough result, and others are testing improvements against competitors they have not yet faced this year. That mix gives both divisions a genuine sporting edge beyond the size of the lineup.
Hardcore FBB Media will be watching both divisions as the athletes take the stage today. The complete lineup artwork is included above so supporters can follow every name in the Women’s Physique and Figure contests and give these professionals the attention their preparation deserves.
