Winner — Eduardo Oliveira
This could be considered an upset victory for Oliveira, who scored his first professional win. His only other appearance in 2023 was at the 2023 Tupelo Pro, where he ranked 11th overall. The second-year pro will make his first Olympia Weekend appearance in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, 2023.
Second Place — Gabriel Domingo Hernandez Aguirre
Aguirre made his pro debut in this contest and was the highest finisher out of those representing Mexico. He turned pro at the 2022 NPC Worldwide Mexico Grand Battle Pro Qualifier. Aguirre scored all second-place votes on the scorecards, which bodes well for future contest appearances.
If he can make the small adjustments for the eyes of the judges and compete again before the Olympia cutoff on Oct. 9, 2023, then he could potentially join Oliveira at the Olympia should Aguirre score gold.

Third Place — Tony Duong
Duong scored his highest finish in three contests of the 2023 season. Prior to this, he was fifth at the Tupelo Pro and sixth at the 2023 Texas Pro. As the season progressed, he improved his physique. He will have to continue that trend until he wins a show, as only show winners qualify for the 2023 Olympia.
This was one of three Classic Physique shows held on Aug. 26-27, 2023. Alex Cambronero won the 2023 Masters Olympia title, and the Tokyo Pro Classic Physique champion was Shicheng Jin.
