2023 Olympia Figure Prejudging Report & Analysis

Highlights from the 2023 Olympia Figure prejudging.

The Figure competitors took the stage on Friday morning for Olympia prejudging. A group of 22 competitors will have the difficult task of knocking off reigning six-time champion Cydney Gillon. Is the Figure legend in line to extend her streak that began in 2017?

The top two from 2022 impressed once again. It was expected that Gillon would be the favorite once again and she was tested by Jessica Reyes Padilla, who was victorious during the 2023 Masters Olympia earlier this year. Natalia Soltero and Lola Montez were also returning top five finishers that were featured in the first callout.

As callouts went on, the division was narrowed down a bit. The fifth and final callout featured four competitors. Gillon and Reyes Padilla returned to the center, along with Montez and Cherish Richardson.

After watching the prejudging round, defeating Gillon will be no easy task but there are threats to the crown. Below, you can find a full breakdown of the 2023 Olympia Figure prejudging that took place on Friday morning.
