2024 Musclecontest Nacional Pro Wellness Show Preview

The final Wellness show of 2024 is in Brazil.

Written by Roger Lockridge
Last updated on December 5th, 2024

The 2024 Musclecontest Nacional Pro will be held in Campinas, Brazil, on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024. Promoter Tamer El Guindy will host a 2025 Wellness Olympia qualifying event with 11 competitors representing three countries. This is the final Wellness division show on the 2024 calendar.

The winner will earn qualification to compete at the 2025 Olympia, the date and location of which has yet to be announced at the time of this article’s publication. None of the athletes in this lineup have qualified for the 2025 Olympia before this event.

  • Josy Alves (Brazil)

Athletes to Watch

Three contenders that will likely be in the final callout are below.

Julia Chitarra

Julia Chitarra placed fourth at the 2024 Arizona Pro on Aug. 24, 2024, her only appearance of the 2024 season. She was a 2022 Wellness Olympia competitor, placing 12th, and was fifth in 2021. She would be searching for her third overall Olympia qualification.

Lexy Oliver

Lexy Oliver last competed at the 2024 Balkan Grand Prix Pro on Oct. 5, 2024, and placed seventh. Her best placing this season was third at the 2024 Europa Pro in London, England, on Sept. 15, 2024. Oliver seeks her first pro win and Olympia qualification.

Andreia Gadelha

The 2024 Musclecontest Pro runner-up is looking to return to the Olympia stage. Andreia Gadelha was also a 2022 Olympia competitor but failed to break through to the top 15.

Gadelha beat 2023 Wellness International champion Kassandra Gillis in the 2024 Musclecontest Pro event, which should be a big confidence booster. Gadelha has an excellent opportunity to impress the judges and leave the stage as champion in a smaller lineup like this.
