Farias can now comfortably look forward to November.
Brenda Farias is the champion of the 2023 MuscleContest Campinas Pro. Members of the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League win a competition on Saturday, March 18, 2023 in Campinas, Brazil.
Here’s an overview of the top 10 finishers at the 2023 MuscleContest Campinas Pro. The bikini division was the only set of professional contestants.
Results of 2023 Muscle Competition Camps
- Brenda Farias – First place
- Jessica Brown
- Mirian Barbosa
- Anna Paula Baggio
- Priscilla Rodriguez
- LUSICANA DE SOUZA SANTOS
- Mariana Tiberica Menezes
- Tais Silva
- Greece Fornazine
- Silvana Tagliati
With the win, Farias earned his first qualification for the prestigious 2023 Olympia. That competition is currently scheduled for November 3-5, 2023 in Orlando, FL.
If Farias chooses to compete at the 2023 Olympia, she will have no shortage of contenders to beat in her debut. After winning her first Bikini Olympia title in mid-December 2022, Maureen Blanquisco is the defending champion. It’s fair to expect former winners and active titans like Jennifer Dorey (2021) and Ashley Kaltwasser (2013-2015) to compete for the title again. Blanquisco took home $50,000 for her winning efforts, compared to $6,000 for fifth-place finisher Lauralee Chapados.
These potential developments mean that even finishing among the top five athletes could be considered an enormous achievement for Farias.
Farias’ win complicates matters for other competitors in the 2023 MuscleContest Campinas Pro. Jessica Brun and Mirian Barbosa, who finished second and third respectively, will now have to qualify for the 2023 Olympia through other competitive means. After the IFBB scrapped its previous points-based system, only previous winners and competition winners in 2023 will have a place in each division at the 2023 Olympia.
This is life on the rigors of the highly competitive bodybuilding trail. Athletes like Farias have a shining moment in their careers, while others must quickly regroup for future competition.
