Farias can now comfortably look forward to November.
Brenda Farias is the champion of the Musclecontest Campinas Pro 2023. The International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League member won the contest which took place on Saturday, March 18, 2023 in Campinas, Brazil.
Here is a look at the top 10 finalists of the Musclecontest Campinas Pro 2023. The Bikini division was the only group of professional competitors to feature.
Results of Campinas 2023 Musclecontest
- Brenda Farias – First place
- Gessica Brown
- Mirian Barbosa
- Anna Paula Baggio
- Priscilla Rodrigues
- Luciana de Souza Santos
- Mariana Tibirica Menezes
- Tais Silva
- Greice Fornazin
- Silvana Tagliati
With this victory, Farias wins his very first qualification at the prestigious Olympia 2023. This competition is currently scheduled for November 3-5, 2023 in Orlando, Florida.
If Farias chooses to compete at Olympia 2023, there will be no shortage of competitors to defeat on her debut. After winning her first Bikini Olympia title in mid-December 2022, Maureen Blanquisco is the defending champion. It might be fair to expect former winners and active titans like Jennifer Dorie (2021) and Ashley Kaltwasser (2013-2015) to vie for the title again. Blanquisco took home $50,000 for her winning efforts while comparatively fifth place Lauralie Chapados took home $6,000.
These potential developments mean that even finishing among the top five athletes could be seen as a huge accomplishment for Farias.
Farias’ victory complicates things for the other competitors in the Musclecontest Campinas Pro 2023. Second and third place respectively, Gessica Brun and Mirian Barbosa, will now have to qualify for Olympia 2023 through other competitive means. After the IFBB scrapped its old points-based systemonly the past winners and winners of the competition in 2023 will have a place in each division at Olympia 2023.
Such is life in the rigors of a highly competitive bodybuilding course. Athletes like Farias are having a bright time in their careers, while others need to quickly regroup for a future competition.
