The 2025 Vancouver Island Showdown Pro lit up Victoria, BC, Canada on Saturday, April 19, marking the first Canadian IFBB Pro League show of the 2025 season. With 25 athletes across Women’s Bodybuilding, Women’s Physique, and Wellness, the event offered Olympia qualifications to the winner of each division.
With the 2025 Olympia set for October 9–12 in Las Vegas, every opportunity to qualify counts—especially in a packed season where only the division winner receives an automatic invitation, unless already qualified.
