The fitness championship in Illinois, organized by NPC in 2026, was a success and served as a platform to showcase various disciplines, including bodybuilding, classic fitness, figure, bikini, wellness, and fitness modeling. The event highlighted a Mongolian athlete who competed in the bikini class C category and won a silver medal. The gold in the same category went to Jennifer Osita, while the bronze was awarded to Chandana Dhawala. Oyuntugs Kello became a pride of her country by securing the second place.
Oyuntugs shared her emotions after the performance, noting that this was her second appearance on stage, and she feels proud of her progress. The athlete expressed gratitude for the support and acknowledged that the path to success was filled with challenges, including illnesses and injuries. Nevertheless, she remained focused on her goal, which allowed her to overcome all obstacles.
In bodybuilding and fitness federations such as NPC and IFBB, the “Class C” category in bikini typically refers to participants of a certain height. Depending on the number of height categories, class C may include athletes over 168 cm (5 feet 6 inches), and it is often referred to as the “tall” class. Judges pay attention to a harmonious and slender physique that emphasizes the participant’s height while avoiding excessive musculature. In competitions with a large number of categories, height can vary, which also affects the distribution of participants.
