Men’s Open Winner — Behrooz Tabani
Both prejudging and finals were scored at this contest. Tabani was the clear winner in both rounds, according to the judges. This is his second pro win.
Tabani’s first pro win was at the 2023 Arnold South America contest. Due to visa issues, he was not able to compete in the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest. If he can travel to Las Vegas for the 2024 Olympia, it will be his debut on that stage.
De Asha ranked second overall and has until Sept. 15, 2024, to win a pro show and qualify for the Olympia.
Men’s Physique Winner — Matheus Nery Oliveira
Oliveira was coming off a runner-up finish to Sidy Pouye at the 2024 Empro Classic Pro one week before this event. He rebounded well to take his first pro win and Olympia qualification. He won the single round show with a perfect score.
Bikini Division Winner — Stine Hansen
Hansen competed in the 2024 Empro Classic Pro to a ninth-place place. She looked noticeably leaner and more confident in this competition to clinch the win and Bikini Olympia roster spot. If Hansen competes in Las Vegas, it will be her first Olympia appearance since tying for 16th in 2022.
Wellness Winner — Danai Theodoropoulou
Danai Theodoropoulou was the early favorite for Wellness fans. She came through for the win and can attempt to improve on her 12th-place finish at the 2023 Wellness Olympia. This is her second win in the pro ranks.
