Men’s Open Winner — Mohamed Foda
Foda was not on many experts’ radar going into the contest. Still, the judges gave him a perfect score, indicating he was the clear winner over runner-up Vladyslav Sukhoruchko and third-place finisher Tim Budesheim. Foda is the 15th athlete on the 2024 Mr. Olympia roster.
212 Bodybuilding Winner — Marcello Alfonsi
Marcello Alfonsi was another surprise for this contest. Still, he was victorious in the 212 division to clinch his first pro win and Olympia qualification in only his second pro show after turning pro in Vancouver during the Vancouver Pro weekend. Bo Lewis and Mike Condell took second and third, respectively.
Classic Physique Winner — Carlos Dommar
The Classic Physique division did not have a surprise result. Carlos Dommar was the favorite going in, and he left the stage as champion over Canada’s Kellen Wilson and the USA’s Austin Espy, who claimed silver and bronze in that order. Dommar can now set his sights on the Classic Physique Olympia in October.
Men’s Physique Winner — Abisai Pietersz
Abisai Pietersz was coming off a win at the 2024 Republic of Texas Pro, and he left the Windy City with his second win in a row. No Olympia qualification was issued for the Men’s Physique division. The runner-up in this contest was Ahmed Shokry, and third place went to Deke Walker.
Women’s Bodybuilding Winner — Sherry Priami
Sherry Priami, Hunter Henderson, and Mayla Ash put on quite the show in Women’s Bodybuilding. In the end, Priami won, but Henderson looked like she could contend for a win if she competed again later in the season. That is impressive, considering she competed in powerlifting earlier in the year. Ash took home third place. It would not be surprising to see Ash and Henderson qualify for the Ms. Olympia before the Sept. 15, 2024, cutoff date.
Figure Winner — Cherish Richardson
Cherish Richardson was another favorite going into the show, and she proved those expectations correct by winning the Figure title over runner-up Mayra Rocha and third-place finisher Thais Cabrices-Werner. Richardson can focus on breaking into the top three of the Figure Olympia. She ranked fourth in 2023.
Bikini Winner — Reijuana Harley
The Bikini division saw Reijuana Harley take home the title over silver and bronze finishers Hope Castelli and Jessica Wilson. Harley was also pre-qualified for the Olympia, which meant no other qualification was issued at this event.
Women’s Physique Winner — Ana Harias
The same could be said about the Women’s Physique division, thanks to winner Ana Harias clinching first place over Amanda Machado, who finished second to Harias for the second show in a row. They also competed in the Lenda Murray Atlanta Pro earlier in the season. Lenka Ferencukova rounded out the top three in this division.
Wellness Winner — Sunny Andrews
This was Sunny Andrews’s first victory since 2022 and fourth overall. She won the 2024 Chicago Pro Wellness title to earn her way back onto the Olympia stage for the third time.
