The IFBB Pro Bikini trio of India Paulino, Nathalia Melo and Nicole Nagrani were expected to be your front-runners at the 2013 Australian Pro. The ladies delivered and took the top three spots however there was a shift from last week’s Bikini International. Keeping her winning streak alive and despite appearing a bit softer than last week, India was crowned the winner. This was the first year for the Pro Bikini division at this show. Paulino edged out Nicole Nagrani who had to settle for second.
Nicole was third at the Bikini International last week. Nathalia Melo ended up in third and those in attendance thought said she was a bit more muscular in her legs than the other two. It’s a similar look to what she brought to the Olympia stage in 2012, where she was crowned Ms. Bikini Olympia. It’s a reminder that you never know where you’ll end up given a different set of judges on any given day. Rounding out the top spots were Pollianna Moss in fourth and Rhiannon Harris in fifth. Pollianna won her pro debut at the 2012 Toronto show and continues to be a top five contender in each show. Rhiannon Harris represented Australia and the 5th place finish is the highest in her pro competitive career.
