2022 Pittsburgh Pro Results & Recap
This bodybuilding event is always a big draw considering the athletes, spectators, and guest posers. A few of the sport's biggest names, including current Olympia champs like Nick Walker, Hunter Labrada, and Brandon Curry and Chris Bumstead showed up.
Let's get into the results of the divisions:
Bikini
This division keeps growing in popularity, and for a good reason, the competition is fierce, and the women looked amazing! We saw Lauralie Chapados take home the title after beating out former Olympia winner Ashley Kaltwasser. This is another big win for Chapados after winning the 2022 Arnold Classic. Kaltwasser also racked up some wins this year at the 2022 Wasatch Warrior Pro and the 2022 Golden State Pro. Needless to say, these two women will be top contenders at Olympia this year.

- Second Place: Ashley Kaltwasser
- Third Place: Janet Layug
- Fourth Place: Liana Giannamore
- Fifth Place: India Paulinho
