Men’s Open Winner — Theo Leguerrier
Theo Leguerrier was coming off a second-place finish at the 2023 Sheru Classic France Pro, won by Nathan De Asha. This was Leguerrier’s third and final opportunity to qualify for the 2023 Olympia, and he was successful via unanimous first-place votes from the judges. Two German competitors finished directly behind him in the end — Roman Fritz in second place and Tim Budesheim in third.
Men’s Physique Winner — Emile Walker
This was Emile Walker’s fourth pro contest of the year and his second victory. He was the clear favorite of the judges over runner-up Alessandro Cavagnola, third-place finisher Abisai Pietersz, and the rest of the 17-athlete lineup.
Walker will return to the Men’s Physique Olympia stage after finishing outside the top 15 at the 2022 Olympia., Since Walker was previously qualified for the Olympia, no qualification was issued for this contest.
Bikini Division Winner — Roxana Marquez
Roxana Marquez competed in three shows this season. Her best finish was third in the 2023 Mexico Grand Battle Pro. That changed in Italy as she scored the win and the Olympia qualification that came with it. Alice Marchisio represented the host country and placed second overall. Chantal Hill, in her rookie year, scored the bronze in the third pro show of her young career.
