Jamaican fitness athlete Deidre Lewis continues to prove her dedication and consistency on the international stage, securing a fourth-place finish in the Bikini Fitness Professional category at the IFBB Pro competition in Cancun, Mexico, on Sunday. This latest achievement comes just two weeks after her podium finish at the IFBB Pro Mr. and Miss Argentina competition, where she claimed third place.

In Cancun, Lewis competed against a strong field, with Antigua and Barbuda’s Kimberly Percival taking the top spot. Mexico's Yissel Leon secured second place, and Julia Prado of Mexico finished third. Rounding out the top five was Mexico's Racquel Ramos, further underscoring the high level of competition in the event.

Reflecting on her performance, Lewis expressed pride in her ability to consistently place among the top competitors, highlighting the importance of her preparation and hard work.

"Sometimes the results vary based on the show that you go to. Each show goes for different looks sometimes for Bikini, but to make another top-five is a massive accomplishment. It shows consistency, dedication, and hard work. I'm elated about that," Lewis said.

She added that judges provided valuable feedback, suggesting she work on achieving a leaner physique to enhance her chances of climbing higher in the rankings.

"I’m still working on getting leaner as I enter into another week of preparation for the final round, which is in Chile this coming weekend," she shared.

A Fortnight of Achievements
Lewis’ impressive performance in Cancun follows her standout showing in Argentina, where she finished third behind Brazilian athletes Larissa Dick and Flavia Carneiro. That event saw her on the podium with some of the best athletes in the category, a testament to her growing stature in international fitness competitions.

As Lewis sets her sights on the upcoming event in Chile, her recent results highlight her consistency and determination to improve, qualities that have become the hallmarks of her career. Fans and supporters will undoubtedly be watching closely as she aims for another top finish to cap off a successful competition season.

World number two Iga Swiatek and world number three Coco Gauff have both secured their spots in the semi-finals of the WTA Finals in Cancun, Mexico.

Poland’s Swiatek confirmed her position with a 6-1 6-2 win over world number six Ons Jabeur.

Earlier, Gauff claimed a victory for US tennis fans in a battle of two of the major champions from this year.

She defeated Marketa Vondrousova 5-7 7-6 (4) 6-3 in the final round of group play on Friday night, ending the Czech player’s chances of advancing to the semi-finals.

The win was another feather in the cap for Gauff, making her the first teenager to make the final four of the year-end championships since Caroline Wozniacki in 2009.

She will now face Jessica Pegula while Swiatek takes on Aryna Sabalenka.
