Winner — Yurika Shigemoto
This is Shigemoto’s second consecutive win in as many weeks and the third of her pro career. She was also the champion of the 2023 Tokyo Pro in Tokyo, Japan.


The 2023 Musclecontest Irongames Pro winner would have qualified for the 2023 Bikini Olympia, slated for the weekend of Nov. 2-5, 2023, in Orlando, FL. However, Shigemoto had already qualified thanks to her previous victory. As a result, no qualification for this show was offered. Only contest winners can advance to the 2023 Olympia at this stage of the season.


Second Place — Malu Duarte
This was Duarte’s fourth show of the 2023 season, and it came with her highest finish thus far. The four-year pro looked great in this outing but was one place short of winning the contest. She will have to win a future show before Oct. 9, 2023, if she wants to advance to Orlando in November.


Third Place — Tara Grier
Grier was in a similar position as Shigemoto. Her Olympia qualification was secured thanks to winning the 2023 Lenda Murray Atlanta Pro show in July. She hoped to take this title and keep a rival from earning a coveted Olympia slot.


Even though Grier didn’t win this show, her 2023 Bikini Olympia lineup spot is still secured. This was Grier’s sixth show of the 2023 season.
