Winner — Riccardo Croci
This was Croci’s third win of the calendar year. He also won the 2023 Tropicarium Budapest Pro and the 2023 Mile High Pro. He will compete in the 2023 Olympia Weekend in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, but can take time off after that to focus on the 2024 contest. Should he compete in another show before the 2024 Olympia and not win, his Olympia qualification will remain secure.
Second Place — Emile Walker
Walker hoped to wrap up a 2024 qualification early, but the scorecards didn’t fall in his favor despite being the highest-ranking British athlete in this contest. The 2023 Sheru Classic France Pro winner is still set to compete at the 2023 Olympia. If Walker podiums at the Olympia, he’ll earn an invite for the 2024 contest.

Third Place — Tyler Smith
This was Tyler Smith’s fourth contest of 2023 and his highest pro-finish thus far. He received all third-place votes on the judges’ scorecards — only one round was scored in this competition. Smith has yet to score a pro win or Olympia invite in his career but showed promise in this show in a first callout with two 2023 Olympia-qualified competitors. A 2024 pro victory is not out of the question.
