Vanessa De Freitas Trains with a Milos Sarcev for Her July Comeback

Vanessa De Freitas Trains with Milos

After nearly four years away, South African IFBB Bikini Pro Vanessa De Freitas is back. She is now training shoulders in the USA with the legendary coach Miloš Šarčev – a man known for building champions and telling the truth, even when it hurts.

Vanessa last competed at the 2020 Spain Europa Pro, where she placed 7th. Since then, she has not stepped on stage. Life and recovery took priority.

But while she rested, the South African bikini scene changed.

In bikini, shoulders are not about looking big. They create shape – the rounded look that makes your waist appear smaller.

Miloš is known for hard, intense training. It can break you or turn you into a weapon. Vanessa is betting on becoming a weapon.

 Next Competition?

Vanessa has confirmed she will return to the stage in July 2025. Her goal is simple: a Top 3 finish.

She will compete at the 2026 Patriot Challenge Pro in Las Vegas on the 11th of July. A show promoted by Tamer El Guindy from Muscle Contest.
