Classic Physique Winner — Yemi Adefioye
Adefioye was in a close contest with runner-up Julio Adjeitey — only one point separated them on the scorecards. The pre-judging round was the only scored round of the contest.
This is Adefioye’s first professional win and Olympia qualification. He can keep competing to block other athletes from qualifying for the Olympia or take an extended off-season to prepare for the 2025 Classic Physique Olympia.
Men’s Physique Winner — Yemi Awoyemi
Awoyemi had a clearer path to victory in the Men’s Physique category. He won with a perfect score over runner-up Mar Suleiman and bronze medalist Emile Walker, making this a full podium for the host country.
This was Awoyemi’s first pro win and Men’s Physique Olympia qualification. His best finish before this was a second-place effort at the 2024 Koloseum Pro on the weekend of Oct. 5-6, behind Alessandro Cavagnola.
