In the heart of Orlando, Florida, at the esteemed Orange County Convention Center, the 2023 Ms. Olympia competition unfolded from November 2 to 5. This event brought together the formidable athletes of the Women’s Bodybuilding division, who assembled for prejudging on a Saturday afternoon.
Now, in its fourth year since the division’s triumphant return to the Olympia schedule in 2020, the Women’s Bodybuilding competition garnered significant anticipation. At the forefront of the competition was none other than Andrea Shaw, a three-time reigning Ms. Olympia, following her usual pre-event preparations. Shaw, whose indomitable spirit had propelled her to victory at the 2023 Rising Phoenix show, sought to secure her fourth Women’s Bodybuilding Olympia title.
However, Shaw was not alone in the race for the title. Angela Yeo, a consistent force in the division, was closing in on Shaw’s legacy. Alongside them, Helle Trevino was determined to achieve her long-awaited Ms. Olympia victory, despite battling a shoulder injury in the past year.
During the prejudging phase, the rivalry between Shaw and Yeo took center stage. Shaw’s stage presence was marked by exceptional symmetry, proportionality, and well-defined quadriceps. But it was Angela Yeo who posed a significant challenge, showcasing remarkable abdominal definition, quad sweeps, and shoulder development. Yeo’s continuous muscle growth made it clear that she was not to be underestimated.
In the final call-out, the judges took a closer look at Andrea Shaw and Angela Yeo, making it evident that they were in a fierce battle for the coveted first place. The outcome of this competition held the promise of an intense and thrilling conclusion as these outstanding athletes showcased their unparalleled skills and determination on the Olympia stage.
