Winner — Alcione Santos Barreto
Barreto impressed judges immediately. Her stage presence was flawless. Every movement highlighted her conditioning.
Then, her symmetry and muscularity stood out. Barreto displayed perfect balance and proportion. This made her the clear top competitor.

Second Place — Nadia Capotosto
Capotosto delivered a strong performance. Her aesthetics and pose transitions were polished. Judges rewarded her silver medal.
