Oljka Novikova

• Athletic Origins: She transitioned to bodybuilding from a high-level background in acrobatics and acrobatic fitness. A back injury and a lack of elite acrobatic opportunities in Tallinn led her to pursue strength training and eventually competitive bodybuilding.
• Pro Status: She earned her IFBB Pro card after a successful competitive career in Europe, which culminated with the triumph at the Bigman Weekend 2025 Figure division, winning the class and Overall title and becoming the New IFBB PRO athlete in Women’s Figure.
  
• Coaching: Beyond competing, Oljka is a professional coach who has successfully guided other athletes to earn their own pro cards in both Elite Pro and IFBB Pro leagues. 

Current Status (2026)

• Sponsorship: She is a sponsored athlete for Biowell Labs, a brand that supports top-level Olympia athletes.
• Philosophy: She emphasizes a psychological approach to the sport, viewing bodybuilding as a “marathon, not a sprint” and focusing on personal progress over external validation.
