Winner — Amy Hamilton
The Fitness division is scored in two rounds: the Physique round, which counts for one-third of the overall score, and the Routine round, which counts for the remaining two-thirds. Hamilton placed second in the Physique round and won the Routine round for the overall win.
According to NPC News Online, this was Hamilton’s third career pro show and second in 2023. She was on the roster for the 2023 Europa Pro, but that contest wasn’t held. This is Hamilton’s first career pro win and first Olympia qualification.
Second Place — Tamara Vahn
Vahn was considered the early favorite entering this show due to her sixth-place finish at the 2022 Fitness Olympia contest. She won the Physique portion but placed second in the Routine round behind Vahn. Given the division’s favorable scoring for Routines, Vahn finished three points behind Hamilton in the overall score. This was Vahn’s first contest in 2023.
Third Place — Andrea Glass
Glass ranked seventh place after the Physique round but rallied to take third place in the Routines, bumping her into the bronze position on the final standings. Glass competed in the 2022 Fitness Olympia, finishing outside of the top 15. Glass ranked fourth overall in the 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro.
Withdrawal
American competitor Amanda Sink entered the contest but didn’t compete in the Routine round. Thus, she was listed on the scorecards as “Did Not Finish.” No reason was given for her withdrawal from the contest.
