Men’s Physique Winner — Kyron Holden
Kyron Holden ranked sixth overall at the 2022 Men’s Physique Olympia. This contest was his 2023 season debut and resulted in gold and a 2023 Olympia qualification. Both Clarence McSpadden Jr. and Christopher Barr competed off and on all season with hopes of standing atop the podium, but they finished second and third, respectively. They and the athletes who haven’t yet qualified for the 2023 Olympia have only on more week to do so. The cutoff for Olympia qualifications this season is Oct. 9, 2023.
Women’s Physique Winner — Marie-Solange Essoh
Marie Solange-Essoh not only won the Masters competition in Women’s Physique but the Open title as well. This was her third Open show of the 2023 season and her first win. She is now eligible for the 2023 Women’s Physique Olympia. Essoh ranked 10th in the 2022 contest, and has to improve on that to reach the 2023 Olympia.

Figure Winner — Nicole Zenobia Graham
Nicole Zenobia Graham won her second straight contest in Daytona Beach. The 2023 San Antonio Pro champion won this show with a perfect score from the judges in the single-round contest. Since she was already qualified for the 2023 Figure Olympia, no qualification was issued. Second place went to Thais Cabrices Werner, and taking bronze was Kelly Estrada.
Bikini Winner — Ndeye Ndour
Rookie pro Ndeye Ndour has impressed fans and experts all season but still needed a pro show win to qualify for the Olympia. That came to fruition in Daytona Beach, scoring her first career win and, with it, access to her Olympia debut. Jessica Nicole Dolias took second place, and rounding out the top three was Noelle Agnew.
