Men’s Open Winner — William Bonac
This was Bonac’s first contest since the 2023 Arnold Classic, where he finished in seventh place. This win qualifies Bonac for his 10th career Mr. Olympia appearance.
The pre-judging and final rounds of this contest were scored, and Bonac won both by a single point over runner-up Behrooz Tabani. 2023 winner Michal Križánek settled for third in this contest.
Classic Physique Winner — Jose Manuel Munoz Quiles
Jose Manuel Munoz Quiles turned pro at the 2023 NPC Worldwide Ben Weider Classic Spain contest. He made the most out of his first pro show in 2024, earning a perfect score on the scorecards for his first pro win. He qualified for the 2024 Classic Physique Olympia.
Men’s Physique Winner — Sidy Pouye
Sidy Pouye made his 2024 season debut at this contest and left the stage with his seventh pro win and a 2024 Olympia qualification. Pouye was the best out of 31 athletes, which included runner-up Matheus Nery Oliveira and third-place finisher Fabian Feber.
Pouye can now compete on the Olympia stage for the second straight year. He finished outside the top 15 in 2023.
Women’s Bodybuilding Winner — Nadia Capotosto
There were six athletes in the Women’s Bodybuilding contest. Nadia Capotosto won with a perfect score from the judges. Capotosto was previously third overall at the 2024 Toronto Pro Supershow but appeared leaner at this contest.
Figure Winner — Lena Ramsteiner
Lena Ramsteiner was already 2024 Olympia-qualified thanks to her Toronto Pro Supershow victory. This was Ramsteiner’s third pro win overall.
Ramsteiner’s win here blocked a 2024 Olympia invite from being issued. Runner-up Jenny Kurth, third-place finisher Nadine Claudia Huber, and the rest of the field have until Sept. 15, 2024 to win a show to join Ramsteiner on the Figure Olympia stage.
Bikini Division Winner — Antonia Pettersson
This was Antonia Petterson’s first contest of 2024 and second career pro show. The judges felt she was the clear winner and awarded her eligibility to make her Olympia debut.
Petterson held off 30 opponents, including second-place finisher Rukiye Solak and bronze medalist Lisa Reith, both of whom have Olympia experience.
Women’s Physique Winner — Sandra Knezevic
Some thought the Women’s Physique contest title would be a clash between Paula Ranta and Julia Schrade, who finished second and third, respectively, behind winner Sandra Knezevic.
Knezevic returned to the stage after a five-year absence and has already qualified for the 2024 Olympia. If she competes in Las Vegas, it will be her Olympia debut.
Wellness Winner — Leonida Ciobu
Leonida Ciobu was the defending champion and a top-10 Wellness Olympia finisher going into this contest. As such, her win was not shocking. Ciobu is now a two-time champion of this contest and is set to return to the Wellness Olympia stage.
