2023 Vancouver Pro Results and Scorecards — Hassan Mostafa Wins Bodybuilding Title
The 2023 Vancouver Pro/Am is one of five events taking over the Pro bodybuilding world this weekend. On July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, competitors from the Classic Physique, Men’s Open, Men’s Physique, Bikini, Figure, and Fitness divisions battled for a shot at a Mr. Olympia invitation.
This year, athletes have fewer months and contests where they can qualify for the 2023 Mr. Olympia show. With that in mind, earning an invite has become even more challenging. This year’s Olympia event is slated for Nov. 2-5 in Orlando, Florida, inside the Orange County Convention Center.
Potentially, there will be six athletes who earn their way to the biggest competition on earth later this year. The respective winners of each division of this weekend’s show will have a shot at taking down the reigning champion of their division.
In the headlining Men’s Open category, Hassan Mostafa returned with a vengeance. He took runner-up twice thus far, first to Iain Valliere at the 2023 Toronto Pro Supershow, and then was upset by Phil Clahar at the 2023 Orlando Pro. Another top threat this weekend was Stan de Longeaux, well known as ‘Stanimal.’ He trailed Mostafa in Orlando, so he was hoping to one-up him here today.

2023 Vancouver Pro/Am Results
Men’s Open
While it was a smaller lineup in Vancouver, athletes came out swinging during prejudging on Saturday. The thickness of Hassan Mostafa‘s back stood out as one of his best weapons. Instead of bringing more condition, Mostafa went for a fuller look in Canada, which seemingly paid off. Mostafa’s last show came in second place at the 2023 Orlando Pro. Meanwhile, ‘Stanimal’s’ last appearance was also at the Orlando Pro, where he trailed behind Hassan in third.
Stan ‘Stanimal’ de Longeaux brought a stellar look and great conditioning, the freaky fullness of Hassan Mostafa sealed the deal in the finals. He is now qualified to compete at the Mr. Olympia show. Meanwhile, Longeaux took second and Nate Spear placed third.
Winner — Hassan Mostafa
Second Place — Stan ‘Stanimal’ de Longeaux
Third Place — Nate Spear

During prejudging, Robert Waterhouse, Dylan Bursey, and John Le were fighting for center stage. Waterhouse’s last event came at the 2020 British Grand Prix in ninth. Bursey, on the other hand, last impressed judges at the 2022 NPC North America Championships where he took first. Le’s last contest was at the 2022 Texas Pro in fourth.
There were plenty of close comparisons, but the capped shoulders and tight waist of John Le earned him the victory. Dylan Bursey walked away as a runner-up in Canada, with Robert Waterhouse and Issac Baier taking third and fourth.

Ashley Kaltwasser, a total legend in the world of bodybuilding, has accomplished something no one else has! She’s now the very first IFBB Pro to win a jaw-dropping 40 pro shows, and guess what? Three of those remarkable victories were just this year, in 2023.
With her impressive track record, she already had a spot secured for the 2023 Olympia without winning another pro show. However, by winning this contest, she ensured that her qualification remains exclusively hers and doesn’t pass down to anyone else. It’s all about holding on to her well-deserved spot! She did it!
