Classic Physique Winner — Breno Freire
Freire made his IFBB Pro League debut and walked away with the opportunity to make his Olympia debut in Las Vegas. He won his first pro show with a perfect score on the scorecards. He had tremendous quadriceps and looked confident in every pose.
Men’s Physique Winner — Ricardo Cenat
Cenat was runner-up to Jeremiah Maxey at the 2024 Texas Pro but bounced back to claim gold. It was his third pro show since August, when he debuted at the Tampa Pro. Thanks to his first pro win, another rookie can make their Olympia debut.
Figure Division Winner — Elizabeth Nieder
Elizabeth Nieder is in her second pro season and has qualified for her first Olympia, thanks to scoring her first pro victory. The Illinois native was held off runner-up Marie-Solange Essoh and third-place finisher Manon Dutily to win.
Dutily was already Olympia qualified thanks to her win in the 2024 Vancouver Pro, but Essoh and the rest of the athletes in this field have one more weekend to join her on the Olympia stage. They must win a show before the qualifying season ends on Sept. 15, 2024.
Bikini Division Winner — Iulia Baba
Baba scored her second pro career win and Olympia qualification at this contest with a perfect score from the judges. This was her 10th pro show of 2024. She has five weeks to focus on her prep for the Bikini Olympia.
