The 2023 Daytona Pro/Am took place from September 29-30 in Daytona Beach, Florida. This event was an Olympia qualifier for competitors in the Men’s Physique, Figure, Bikini, and Women’s Physique categories.
There is little time left for athletes to qualify for the upcoming 2023 Olympia competition, which is set to go down in Orlando, Florida’s Orange County Convention Center. Currently, the deadline to qualify expires on October 9. Since the IFBB Pro League decided to ditch the point system the only way to guarantee a spot on the big stage is by winning a Pro show like this one.
It was a jaw-dropping contest with memorable individual routines, exciting comparisons, and a nail-biter of a finale. In the end, Kyron Holden took home gold in Men’s Physique. Nicole Zenobia Graham pulled off the big win in Figure. Ndeye Ndour shined in Bikini, and Marie-Solange Essoh claimed gold in Women’s Physique!
