2023 Vancouver Pro – Hassan Mostafa finally wins.
The 2023 Vancouver Pro took place in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada, 15-16 July 2023.
The event was a 2023 Olympia Weekend qualifier, offering the opportunity for pro athletes competing within the Pro League to qualify for the biggest event of the year.
The event consisted of seven pro events, with six athletes qualifying for the 2023 Olympia Weekend. One of the divisions was not an Olympia qualifier.
All eyes were on the Men’s Open Bodybuilding event, which unfortunately had only six athletes registered to compete.
With the 2023 Mr. Olympia edging closer, one would expect that the number of registered athletes would be greater.
Hassan Mostafa took advantage of the opportunity, to finally earn his qualification for the 2023 Mr. Olympia.
In his previous two shows in Toronto and Orlando, Hassan placed second on both occasions.
Hassan and his coach Chad Nicholls would get it right in Vancouver, improving his condition to push him past Stan de Longeaux aka “Stanimal”.
Stan is continuously improving, presenting a fantastic combination of size and condition.
Both stan and Hassan were both in fantastic condition, but it would be the amount of muscle on Hassan’s frame that would give him the edge over Stan.
Nathan Spear would have to settle for third place, knowing he could have easily moved up to second, with some small improvements.
Prince Boabang, Morgan MacDonald, and Eiren Gauley would finish in fourth, fifth, and Sixth place respectively.
A special note goes out to 3X Bikini Olympia Ashley Kaltwasser. She managed to win her 40th pro event, an accomplishment no other athlete has accomplished in the bodybuilding and fitness world.
