Winner — Priscila Rodrigues
This was Rodrigues’ second straight win in as many weekends. Her previous victory at the 2023 Sheru Classic India Pro contest secured her qualification to compete in the 2024 Bikini Olympia on Oct. 10-13, 2024, in Las Vegas, NV. Since she previously qualified for the 2024 Olympia before this contest, no qualification was awarded in Brazil.
Second Place — Amanda Marques
Amanda Marques competed in the 2023 Bikini Olympia contest, won Jennifer Dorie in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 4, 2023, and finished outside the top 15. This was Marques’ first attempt to win a pro show before Sept. 15, 2024 — the Olympia qualification cutoff date — to compete in the 2024 Olympia.
The judges had Marques in second place on both rounds of this contest. She will have to compete in and win a future pro show to advance to the 2024 Olympia.
Third Place — Gessica Brun
Gessica Brun was in a similar position as Marques. Brun ranked outside the top 15 in the 2023 Bikini Olympia and needed a pro win to return to bodybuilding’s biggest stage in 2024. It wasn’t meant to be at this contest, but the 2023 Sur Cup Pro winner has plenty of time between now and September 2024 to compete and win a qualification.
Other Notes
This was one of two Bikini division contests held on the weekend of Nov. 25-27, 2023. The other was the 2023 Japan Pro in Tokyo, Japan. Ashley Kaltwasser won that contest to score her 43rd career victory. As a result, no 2024 Olympia qualification was issued for that contest either.
