Classic Physique Winner — Justin Badurina
This is the second time Badurina has won a show in the Sunshine State. He previously won the 2024 Tampa Pro in August. On Oct. 12, 2024, he ranked 14th in the 2024 Classic Physique Olympia in Las Vegas, NV.
This win makes Badurina eligible to compete in the 2025 Olympia. He won this contest with a perfect score from the judges.
Men’s Physique Winner — Mehdi Kabbadj
Kabbadj was coming off a 16th-place finish at the 2024 Men’s Physique Olympia. This show got him back on the winning track. Kabbadj can take an extended offseason to prepare for the Olympia or keep competing and try to prevent others from qualifying.
Figure Winner — Jessica Reyes Padilla
Padilla ranked second to the now-retired Cydney Gillon at the 2024 Figure Olympia, automatically qualifying Padilla for the 2025 Olympia. Thus, no qualification was awarded in the Figure division. Padilla also won the Masters competition at this event. She is the reigning Masters Olympia champion.
Bikini Winner — Adair Libbrecht
Libbrecht finished outside the top 15 in the 2024 Bikini Olympia. She won the Bikini title here with a perfect score over runner-up Karene Gonzalez and third-place finisher Ivi Escandar Fernandez.
