On Saturday, July 8, Austin, Texas will host the 2023 Republic of Texas Pro show. This event is set to feature competitors from the Men’s Physique, Bikini, and Wellness categories. The champions of these contests will qualify for the upcoming Mr. Olympia competition. This year’s 2023 Mr. Olympia takes place from Nov. 2-5 in Orlando Florida, inside the Orange County Convention Center. Athletes have until October 9 to earn their respective invites.
Heading into this weekend, fans have highlighted a few names in the Men’s Physique division. Jeremy Potvin is among them. He demonstrates a great display of balance and brings a full chest to the stage in each outing. His last appearance came in second at the 2022 Chicago Pro.
Steven Cao is another top name competing this weekend. Cao’s last show saw him also take silver in a close battle at the DC Pro. Lastly, Ramses Rams will be in attendance, who has put forth a very busy schedule this year. His last competition saw him take second at the 2023 Mile High Pro. Whoever emerges with the win, will have a shot at facing reigning Men’s Physique Olympia Erin Banks later this year.
As far as Bikini talent is concerned. Fans expect a big performance from Jordan Fisher who is riding high off a commanding victory at the 2023 Dallas Pro. She will face India Paulino who last stepped on the Olympia stage in 2022 but wasn’t able to place. Meanwhile, Lexus Redmond is a tenacious competitor and will aim to capture gold after her runner-up show at the Dallas Pro.
