The 2013 Nordic Pro qualified two more women for the Figure and Bikini Olympia and help set the stage for the Point Series. Anna Virmajocki took top honors in Lahti, Finland and will head to Las Vegas for the Olympia. Second place finisher, Michelle Brannan was already qualified for the Olympia but was able to get some stage time in for the big show. She tied with Tawna Eubanks for second with 14 points but broke the tied breaker.
Tawna Eubanks appears to be heading to the Olympia via the point series, although we can’t be 100% sure until the results of the Valenti Cup are in. Jessica Renee made and impression on the judges and finished at her best in fourth. She was just one point away from second with 15 points. Lacey DeLuca finished in fifth but the finish secured her spot at the Olympia via the point series. Lacey tops the list with fourteen points and will compete in the IFBB’s biggest show.

Kati Alander won her first pro show of her career and will now compete at the Figure Olympia. She actually tied with Ekaterina Gamagina with nine points. The remaining top five collect points for the Olympia series however it doesn’t appear any of them will secure enough points to head to Vegas via the point series. This competition showcased a number of different countries and competitors from around the globe.
