Natalia Soltero wins the 2023 Northern California Pro!
The 2023 Northern California Pro took place on Saturday, June 10th in Sacramento, California. The Figure Pro division was on display and in the end, it was IFBB Figure Pro Natalia Soltero from Mexico who was crowned champion at the Northern California Pro and will return to the Olympia stage this November.
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, they will have to win a show to qualify. The points qualification system is no more. Also, former winners of an Olympia title have lifetime eligibility.
Natalia Soltero finished as the runner-up during the 2023 New York Pro and 2023 Pittsburgh Pro. She now solidified her spot in the 2023 Olympia by winning in Sacramento. She will compete in the biggest show of the year for the seventh-straight year. Soltero has had two runner-up finishes under her belt and was fifth in the 2022 Olympia.
The full results from the show have been announced. Below, check out the full breakdown, along with an official scorecard.
