Classic Physique Winner — Diego Alexander Galindo

The Classic Physique event was a big hit with the fans in this show, and Diego Alexander Galindo was the most impressive athlete of all in the eyes of the judges. This was Galindo’s first victory in the IFBB Pro League, and he was rewarded with a 2023 Classic Physique Olympia qualification.

Men’s Physique Winner — Ismael Dominguez

Ismael Dominguez was making his 2023 season debut, and he capitalized on it by leaving the stage with the victory. It was his third pro victory, and he will make his fourth Men’s Physique Olympia appearance. Dominguez did not break into the top 15 in his three previous appearances on that stage.

Second place went to Juan Manuel Gochez. The bronze medal went to Victor Manuel Ramirez Chavez, who previously qualified for the 2023 Olympia thanks to winning the 2023 BodyBe1 Classic Pro.

Bikini Division Winner — Gessica Brun

Brun finished as the runner-up twice in 2023, but her third show was the charm. She scored the first pro win of her three-year career. The 2023 Olympia will be her Olympia debut if she competes.

Figure Division Winner — Jossie Alarcon

Jossie Alarcon was the only American competitor in the Figure division, and she made the trip to Colombia worth it by winning the Figure title in this show. Alarcon was the 2022 New York Pro winner, but she didn’t compete in the Olympia that year despite being eligible.

This is Alarcon’s second pro win in four years, and if she does compete in the 2023 Olympia, it will be her first appearance. Kamilla Santos Alencastro was also very impressive in this show, and she could be in the running for a win if she chooses to enter another contest. 

Wellness Division WInner — Elisa Alcantara

Alcantara was a late entry into the contest but was the top-scoring Wellness athlete.  This is Alcantara’s first career pro win. With the gold came her qualification for the 2023 Wellness Olympia in Orlando, where she will aim to dethrone two-time defending champion Francielle Mattos.
