The Play-by-Play
As always, Queiroz had many supporters in the audience. Bumstead’s fans cheered the loudest as he took the stage, and, as expected, he was in the middle of the first callout. Urs Kalecinski and Mike Sommerfeld flanked him. They were sent back in line, indicating them as the top three in the field. This was confirmed when they were brought out for the final callout.
The final round for Classic Physique is part of the Saturday night show at the Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas. The top 10 will battle for the title of world champion.
