Competitors from the Figure category met in Sacramento, California for the 2023 Northern California Pro over the weekend on June 10. This show served as an Olympia qualifier, as athletes have until October 9 to secure their respective invites.
The 2023 Mr. Olympia competition takes place November 2-5 and has moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Orlando, Florida, inside the Orange County Convention Center. Over the last few weeks, competitors have taken it to each other for an Olympia invite.
Whoever should emerge victorious this weekend will have not only a pro win under their belt but a chance to face the champion of the Figure division – the super dominant six-time winner Cydney Gillon. She’s held the title since 2017.
A few threats stood out as names to watch this weekend, like Jossie Becerra who served as a shocker at the 2022 Figure Olympia, where she took fourth place. However, if she wants a shot at gold, she’ll have to get through two-time Figure Olympia runner-up Natalia Soltero. Soltero also took second at the Pittsburgh Pro and New York Pro, so she’s eager to finally lay claim to a gold trophy. Lastly, Wendy Fortino is another top name who aimed to cement herself as a title contender.
