Men’s Physique Winner — Andre Ferguson
This was Ferguson’s 18th win in his career and qualified him for the Men’s Physique Olympia for the ninth straight year. The New York native received straight first-place votes from the judges to become the 19th athlete to qualify for the 2023 Men’s Physique Olympia.
Vitor Chaves came in as the runner-up for the second contest in a row. He was runner-up to Ryan Terry in the New York Pro in May 2023. Daniel Ammons landed third place, but he was already Olympia-qualified thanks to his win at the 2023 Palmetto Pro.
Bikini Division Winner — Cristobalina Pajares
Many people thought this contest would come down to Romina Basualdo and Sierra Swann, both of whom already won pro shows in 2023. However, Cristobalina Pajares pulled off the upset to represent her home country of Spain at the 2023 Olympia with Ivanna Escandar.

Basualdo was second in her fourth contest of the season. Swann finished in the bronze spot after winning the 2023 Optimum Classic Pro.
American athletes occupied the top four slots in this division: Lili Dong (second), Johanna Calcano (third), and Edna F. de Souza (fourth) will have to win a different pro show this season to qualify for the 2023 Olympia.
Wellness Division Winner — Tefani Sam Razhi
This was Razhi’s pro debut, and she left Miami with her first pro win. Razhi has five months to prepare for the 2023 Olympia debut against two-time defending champion Francielle Mattos. Razhi is the ninth athlete to qualify for the 2023 Wellness Olympia.
