The next opportunity for IFBB Pro League Wellness athletes to qualify for the 2023 Olympia Weekend is the 2023 Musclecontest Sin City Showdown Pro in Las Vegas, NV, on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. Twelve competitors representing six countries will do their best to win the show, earning the qualification to compete at the Wellness Olympia in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, 2023.
None of the athletes have yet qualified for the Olympia entering the show, so whoever wins will be a new addition to the 2023 Olympia roster. The full roster is below, with names in alphabetical order:

Diana Laura Verduzco Carreno
Diana Laura Verduzco Carreno is the lone Mexican competitor in this lineup. She’s coming off a fourth-place finish at the 2023 Texas Pro. This is only her third pro contest in two seasons, so she is still gaining experience. However, a Verduzco Carreno win is very possible in a lineup like this if she made the recommended adjustments after feedback from the Texas Pro.
Tammy Sievers
Tammy Sievers is a Masters competitor in her second season as a pro. She won the Masters show at the 2023 Sampson Showdown Pro and placed third in the Open of that contest. There is no Masters contest in this show, but she could make an impact on this lineup and compete in first callouts.
Hayley Overall
Hayley Overall is in her rookie season, having made her pro debut at the 2023 Sheru Classic UK contest, ranking eighth. She could’ve learned several lessons in that debut experience to apply in Las Vegas.
There are other pros who are still new to the IFBB Pro League, so she stands a chance of placing in the top six or higher here. Overall turned pro at the 2021 NPC Worldwide British Finals. She is undoubtedly a rising star in the Wellness division and she could stir some fireworks in Vegas.
