Winner — Riccardo Croci
Croci was among the first to qualify for the 2024 Olympia and is now the first to qualify for 2025. He did so with a perfect score from the judges in this single-round contest. Croci is set to compete in the 2024 Men’s Physique Olympia in Las Vegas, NV on Oct. 11-12, 2024.
Second Place — Kamal Aitirhmour
Aitirhmour of Morocco is a newcomer to the pro ranks and finished seventh in the 2024 Dubai Pro. He looked leaner in this contest. The judges gave him all-second-place votes on the scorecards.
Third Place — Mauro Fialho
Fialho has been competing as a pro since 2021. Thanks to his win at the 2024 Mexico Grand Battle Pro, he will compete in the 2024 Men’s Physique Olympia. He may have used this event as a tune-up for the 2024 Olympia with the added potential of potentially scoring an early 2025 qualification.
Other Notes
