Classic Physique Athletes to Watch
Below are the athletes likely to contend on the podium in Classic Physique:
Victor Bortoletto
None of the five athletes in this division have been on the Olympia stage. Victor Bortoletto is the most experienced athlete in this lineup, but this is his first pro show since he placed sixth in the 2022 MuscleContest Ironberg ABC Pro and 2022 Argentina Sur Cup Pro.
Alan Dieime Costa Dos Reis
This is Alan Dieime Costa Dos Reis’ second pro show of the 2023 calendar year. He previously ranked fifth at the 2023 Musclecontest International Ultimate Pro Classic Physique Show, won by Gabriel Zancanelli.
Bikini Division Athletes to Watch
Below are the two athletes in Bikini likely to battle in the first callout:
Priscila Rodrigues
Brazilian competitor Priscila Rodrigues could be the favorite in this lineup. Despite competing four times in the 2023 season, she did not win a pro show. Her best finish was the 2023 Sur Cup Pro, ranking third to gold-medalist Gessica Brun.
Luciana de Souza Santos
Luciand de Souza Santos will walk onstage for the second time in her one-year pro career. She previously placed sixth at the 2023 Musclecontest Campinas Pro behind champion Brenda Farias.
Other Notes
This is one of five pro shows taking place on the weekend of Nov. 10-12, 2023. A Classic Physique show will be hosted at the 2023 Korea Pro/AM, and another will be held at the 2023 Romania Muscle Fest Pro, which is also hosting a Bikini division contest. These shows are also 2024 Olympia qualifiers. BarBend will provide recaps of all shows following their conclusions.
