Athletes to Watch
Here are the athletes fans will want to be paying extra attention to in Brazil.
Rodrigo Coelho
Rodrigo Coelho is a Masters competitor that also enters Open shows. He placed seventh at the 2024 Tri-City Classic Pro in Columbus, GA one month before this show. He also missed the top 15 at the Charlotte Pro before that. With less travel and a smaller lineup, he could do very well at this event.
Livingstone Livenho
The last time Livingstone Livenho was onstage was at the 2024 Arnold South America, where he placed third. The winner of that show was Fabio Junio. This will be his second pro show in his career, and if he can improve on what he brought to his last event, he will be in the mix for the win and Olympia qualification.
Fabiano Andrade
Fabiano Andrade could be a dark horse for this show. He has been competing in the pro ranks since 2021 but has not entered many shows. He has also yet to earn a pro win, but he has been gradually improving with each contest he enters. He was ninth at the 2024 Arnold South America event.
More Classic Physique
This is one of two Classic Physique shows slated for this day. The other will be at the 2024 New York Pro in Teaneck, NJ. The winner of that show will also qualify for the Olympia, if he had not qualified already.
