The 2023 Pharlabs Sur Pro Cup Colombia happened from July 21-23 in the bustling town of Medellin, Colombia. Bodybuilders from five divisions stormed the stage in hopes of locking down their Olympia invites, which included threats from the Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Figure, Bikini, and Wellness.
