Winner — Junior Javorski

Prior to this show, Javorski had finished second at the 2023 New York Pro and seventh at the 2023 Empro Pro. This was one of the last contests of the season before the Olympia qualifying cutoff date of Oct. 9, 2023. Javorski picked his spot carefully, and it paid off. His focus now will be on the Classic Physique Olympia, where he hopes to break into the top 15. This is his second career victory.

Second Place — Julio Gorila

Gorila was a late entrant into the show. He represented the host country, as did every other athlete on the roster. He received all second-place votes in the pre-judging and finals. His only other pro show appearance, according to NPC News Online, was the 2023 Musclecontest Ultimate Pro on Sept. 23, 2023, where he ranked ninth overall.
