2023 Chicago Pro Results (Live Updates)

The 2023 Chicago Pro, the biggest contest taking place this weekend, took over Chicago, Illinois from July 21-22. This show was an Olympia qualifier for this year’s blockbuster show and featured athletes from ten divisions: Men’s Open, 212 Bodybuilding, Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Women’s Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure, Bikini, Women’s Physique, and Wellness. 
To secure their place in the Mr. Olympia competition, the most prestigious event of the year, competitors must qualify by Oct. 9. But this year, they have less time and fewer opportunities to acquire a qualification, making it harder than ever to reach the ultimate stage. Last year’s Chicago Pro champion, Antoine Vaillant, has opted not to compete this year. Therefore, a new champion will be crowned in the Open class.
We are actively updating the live results as they become available. Check out the results for Day One below:
