The 2019 Bikini Olympia champion placed first out of over 25 IFBB Pro League Bikini athletes in Charleston, SC, on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. Pecini was already qualified for the 2023 Olympia Weekend in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, 2023.
Pecini didn’t need the win, but this victory prevented a fellow competitor from qualifying for the 2023 Olympia. Ariana Brothers finished behind Pecini in second place, and the bronze position went to Ndeye Ndour. The final standings are listed below:

Winner — Elisa Valentim Pecini
Pecini sought redemption after finishing second to Ashlyn Little at the 2023 Texas Pro. A perfect score from the judges was sufficient for exactly that. This is Pecini’s ninth pro win and second World Klash Pro title. She previously won this show in 2019.
As a past Olympia champion, Pecini is qualified for the Bikini Olympia for life. As such, no Olympia qualification was awarded at this contest.
Second Place — Ariana Brothers
Brothers wasn’t concerned about the Olympia qualification because her trip to Orlando was previously secured thanks to her win at the 2023 Nashville Fit Pro show. This was her third pro show of the 2023 season and her second top-two finish. Brothers will make her Bikini Olympia debut in 2023, should she compete.
Third Place — Ndeye Ndour
Ndeye Ndour made her professional debut at this contest less than three months after turning pro at the 2023 NPC Junior USA Championships. Placing third behind two Olympia-qualified competitors, one of whom is a former Olympia champion, is nothing to hang her head about.
Ndour will be in the mix for a win if she chooses to compete again this season. She has until Oct. 9, 2023, to qualify for the Olympia. Only a win can qualify her for the Olympia and Ndour is on the correct trajectory.
