Regan Grimes wins the 2023 Europa Pro Bodybuilding Championships!
The 2023 Europa Pro Bodybuilding Championships took place over the weekend on Sunday, Sept. 17th, in Alicante, Spain. The IFBB Pro League event featured nine bodybuilding divisions. The Men’s Open show was the highlight of the event once again and Regan Grimes proved superior, punching his tickets to the 2023 Olympia taking place this November 2nd – 5th in Orlando, FL.
Grimes returned to the stage last weekend during the 2023 Flex Weekend Pro for the first time since 2022. He finished as the runner-up to Nathan De Asha but turned the tables this weekend.
The Olympia qualification system has changed this year. If an athlete did not finish in the top three in the previous year, or top five in Men’s Open bodybuilding, they will have to win a show to qualify for the Olympia contest. The points qualification system is no more. Also, former winners of an Olympia title have lifetime eligibility. With no point system in place, qualifying has been more challenging this season, especially with the upcoming 2023 Mr. Olympia competition taking place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. A new crop of competitors is now qualified for this November’s Olympia showdown. – The 2023 Europa Pro Championships in Alicante, Spain, featured nine IFBB Pro League contests, including the Men’s Open category where Canadian bodybuilder Regan Grimes beat out Nathan De Asha in a close contest.
The full results from the show have been announced. Below, check out the full breakdown, along with an official scorecard.
