Winner — Angela Yeo

This is Yeo’s first Rising Phoenix title. She is the fifth different champion in the show’s 10-year history. Only one point separated Yeo and Shaw, meaning some judges had the former champion in front.

Yeo was already qualified for the 2024 Ms. Olympia as the runner-up in 2023, so no Olympia qualification was awarded. Still, Yeo is in the driver’s seat going into the Olympia on Oct. 10-13, 2024, in Las Vegas, NV.

Second Place — Andrea Shaw

This is Shaw’s first contest loss since 2019. She remains the winningest competitor in the show’s history.

Shaw is the defending Ms. Olympia and has lifetime qualification for that competition. Some experts felt she lost the competition from the back poses. Shaw has seven weeks to adjust for the 2024 Olympia.

Third Place — Ashley Lynnette Jones

Jones was a late entrant into this contest but left with the bronze. The 2024 New York Pro winner is qualified for the 2024 Olympia, meaning the fans and judges will see all three athletes face off again in Las Vegas.
