Cydney Gillon Has Gone From Reality-Show Contestant To Figure Champion—And Now Her Sights Are Set On Winning The Olympia.
Cydney Gillon might be known in recent years as one of the top figure competitors in the IFBB Pro League, but she’s actually been competing in other endeavors much longer than that. The former University of Pennsylvania track athlete was also a contestant on the long-running show Survivor in 2016, in which she made it to the final four. Her competitive experience and desire to succeed has taken her a long way, but she is far from done. After placing in the top three at the Figure Olympia last year, she now has her sights set on taking the top title in the sport.
