2023 IFBB Vancouver Pro Show
Bikini - Open & Masters 40+
(Abbotsford, BC - July 15-16, 2023)
The second year being held in this Fraser Valley community, the Pro Show was the culmination of two weekends of events,
CPA regional shows the week earlier and the Vancouver Pro Qualifier the same day as IFBB Pro Bikini Prejudging...finals were
held on the 16th. Ashley Kaltwasser is no stranger to the region, she won this event in a memorable showdown with Jennifer
Dorie in 2018 and took the Sasquatch Pro in Washington State in the fall of 2022.

Poised and confident onstage, nice lines as usual...it was a showdown this time with Maxine Somov (below) who has tirelessly worked her way to a VERY competitive Pro
bikini look, photogenic as well, a great representative for the sport! In third place was 19 year old Tianna Weymouth, we've seen her 'start from scratch' as a competitor
last year and bring a better package to the stage each time. Tie-ins all on point and feeling more confident onstage. Watch out for her even more down the road.
Nikki Kiani has been consistently impressing judges since her Pro debut, good muscle shape and size which impressed us back when she was winning regional Amateur
Overalls. A bright future ahead for her as well, 4th place finish. Full results are below.

There was also a 40+ Masters Class with three competitors, all in amazing shape, Gina Switzeny (above) took that title
with Jill Humphrey (who we've known for years in Washington State) placing second. We met stunner Kristy Ann Keppel
(third place) back in 2020 at USA's, happy to see her in the Pro Ranks!
We will be adding to this report as time permits to further tell the story of this memorable show. Visit
Vancouver Pro Am and Expo for additional information.
