Winner — Ariana Brothers
Brothers was 13th at the 2023 Republic of Texas Pro in July but made dramatic changes between that show and her appearance in Nashville. She looked leaner, her upper body had better shape, and she appeared more confident. That combination was enough to score her first pro win and Olympia qualification by a single point.


Second Place — Alexandra Vatthauer
Alexandra Vatthauer is a rookie in her third pro show. She came away with her second runner-up finish. She won silver at the 2023 Governors Cup as well.


Even though Vatthauer continues to display much potential, no athlete competes for second. Vatthauer may compete again to see if she can go from amateur to Olympian in the same season. There is no word on what her next oro show will be at of the time of this article’s publication.

Third Place — Lizzie Martinez
This was Lizzie Martinez’s seventh show of the 2023 season and her second top-three placing. Only a pro show win qualifies athletes for the 2023 Olympia, so Martinez will have to find an eighth show to score gold at before the cutoff date of Oct. 9, 2023, if she wants to be onstage in Orlando.


Other Notes
There was a Masters Over 40 contest in this show won by April Conley. She ranked 11th in the Open contest. The 2023 Nashville Fit Show Pro was one of two shows that took place on the weekend of Aug. 18-19, 2023. The other was at the 2023 Texas Pro in Arlington, TX, whose Bikini title went to Ashlyn Little.
