Benidorm, Spain welcomed the 2023 Bigman Spain Pro Show this weekend from July 29-30. Competitors from the Men’s Open and Bikini categories gathered with the intention of earning an invite to this year’s Olympia competition.
This event is a qualifier for the upcoming Mr. Olympia contest taking place on Nov. 2-5 in Orlando, Florida inside the Orange County Convention Center. It’s been a busy season and athletes have already earned qualifications. However, the deadline for passage to the 2023 Mr. Olympia is Oct. 9. Brett Wilkin won the 2022 Bigman Spain Pro, but didn’t compete this weekend so a new champ emerged.
After putting on a show during the prejudging rounds and the finals, Roman Fritz emerged victorious with the Men’s Open title. He’ll have the opportunity to face the reigning Mr. Olympia Hadi Choopan in roughly three months. Meanwhile, Ivanna Escandar took home gold in Bikini. With her achievement, she will square off against Bikini Olympia Maureen Blanquisco.
