Winner — Luca Reger
Reger earned a perfect score from the judges. Reger was coming off a 16th-place finish at the 2024 Classic Physique Olympia, but he rebounded well by earning his spot on the 2025 Olympia stage. The dates and location of the 2025 Olympia Weekend are unknown at the time of this article’s publication.
Second Place — Patrik Herczik
The judges unanimously chose Herczik as the runner-up, but he looked bigger and leaner than in previous shows. He is trying to secure his second Olympia qualification. His first came in 2022 when he finished outside the top 15.
Third Place — Mohamed Al Baghdadi
Al Baghdadi was also improved for this show. He had previously placed ninth at the 2024 Tsunami Nutrition Showdown Pro. He is in his rookie season at the pro level and showed he could be a threat to contend for first place in future shows.
Other Notes
This same weekend, a second Classic Physique show was held at the 2024 Nutriyummy Pro Cup in Alicante, Spain. Josema Munoz won that show and is now qualified for the 2025 Olympia Weekend.
