The 2023 Tropicarium Budapest Pro show takes place this weekend in Budapest, Hungary, where athletes from the Men’s Physique and Bikini categories will battle for gold. This show served as a 2023 Mr. Olympia qualifier.
Athletes will have until October 9 to earn a respective invite to the sport’s biggest event of the year, Mr. Olympia, scheduled for November 2-5, in Orlando, Florida inside the Orange County Convention Center. Unlike in 2022, pros cannot earn passage to Mr. Olympia on points, therefore, to stand atop the Olympia stage, competitors must win a pro show.
In the Men’s Physique division, fans expect a solid performance from Simon Pieto Arena, who earned his pro card last year. Additionally, the bodybuilding community has dubbed Rory Gissing, Benedikt Lukas, and Balint Nemeth as major threats. Meanwhile, Bikini standouts Kristina Brunauer, Noora Mahonen, and Lisa Reith have all been named early favorites ahead of the show as well.
