Victor Martinez, Jose Raymond, Ann Titone, Matt Acton and Jennifer Scarpetta all won titles in their respective divisions on Saturday night in the second day of competition at the 2013 IFBB Toronto Pro Super Show.
In Men’s Bodybuilding, Martinez’s win qualified him for the Olympia in September. He narrowly missed out on that automatic qualification last week – when he returned to competition after an 18-month layoff – when placing second at the New York Pro. The win was the fourth of Martinez’s 12-year pro career.
Fouad Abiad rebounded from an disappointing early-season showing at the Arnold Classic – where he placed 10th – by finishing second, while Jonathan Delarosa placed third.
Jose Raymond collected his second win in as many weeks in the 212 division. Raymond won at last week’s New York Pro after deciding to enter the contest on the Friday evening before the show. Runner-up Mark Dugdale followed up his solid outing in New York with another top-three finish. In the process, Dugdale picked up four points in the Olympia Qualification Series, moving him into the No. 2 spot in the standings. Raul Carrasco finished third.
In Figure, Ann Titone won her first contest of the year and third of her career. Titone, who placed third at the 2011 Toronto Pro, won two contests in 2012. Swann Cardot picked up her second-straight runner-up finish. Cardot finished second at last week’s New York Pro. Canada’s Natalie Waples finished third and has placed in the top three of her last three contests.
Earlier in the day, Matt Acton won the first IFBB Pro Men’s Physique contest of his career. It Acton’s fourth competition in the past six weeks. His placings steadily improved throughout the six weeks, going from 13th (Europa Show of Champions) to 5th (Pittsburgh Pro) to 3rd (last week’s New York Pro).
Tyler Anderson placed second, the second time this year he has finished as the runner up. Anderson, who came into the contest in a three-way tie in the Olympia Qualification Series, now leads the OQS with 11 points. William Sullivan, competing in his sixth contest of the year, placed third.
Jennifer Scarpetta, making her IFBB Pro debut, earned the win in Women’s Bodybuilding. Scarpetta hadn’t competed since winning her pro card at the 2010 NPC USA Championships. Annie Frietas placed second while Maria Rita Bello finished third.
