Want to tune into the 2023 Legion Sports Fest? Here is how to watch all of the action.
The 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro will take place the weekend of Oct. 7-8 in Reno, Nevada. There will be a total of eight divisions in bodybuilding that will compete with hopes of qualifying for the 2023 Mr. Olympia.
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.
The show this weekend will have a new champion. Tonio Burton was victorious during the 2022 Legion Sports Fest Pro and will not return to defend his title. The means that the deep group of competitions in Men’s Open will have a chance to take home the title and crown a new champ.
Charles Griffen and John Jewett will take the stage with victories under their belts over the last year. Griffen’s cane during the 2023 California State Pro while Jewett was victorious earlier this year in Atlanta. Justin Rodriguez is a name to watch given his experience on this stage. He finished as the runner-up to Burton last year and will be looking to take home.
