Last updated on October 9th, 2023

The 2023 Southern Muscle Pro Bikini division contest was held in Dalton, GA, on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, and Jessica Nicole Dolias was crowned the winner. Dolias outlasted 12 other IFBB Pro League competitors to secure one of the last qualifying spots for the 2023 Bikini Olympia contest, which is part of the 2023 Olympia in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, 2023.

Iulia Baba of Romania took silver, and Kerigan Pike rounded out the top three in this event. The final order of finish is below:

Winner — Jessica Nicole Dolias

Dolias was the clear winner in the eyes of the judges based on the scorecards. She finished second in each of her last two contests: the 2023 Daytona Pro and 2023 Janet Layug’s Battle of the Bodies. This is Dolias’ first career pro victory. She is eligible to make her Olympia debut in November. 

Second Place — Iulia Baba

Baba was the 2023 Arizona Pro Bikini division winner and had already qualified for the 2023 Olympia. Had she won this show, she’d have blocked another entrant from the 2023 Olympia lineup, as  only show winners are eligible for the 2023 Olympia.

Despite her runner-up finish, Baba’s Olympia qualification is still secure. This was her sixth pro show of the 2023 season and the second time she finished in the top two.

Third Place — Kerigan Pike

Kerigan Pike scored her highest finish out of four pro shows this season; bronze is also the highest finish in her pro career. The second-year pro has not yet scored a pro win yet. Even though she didn’t qualify for the 2023 Olympia, she can jump right back onstage in pursuit of a 2024 Olympia qualification via pro shows starting Oct. 14, 2023.
