Winner — Lamar Shaw
Shaw was coming off a second-place finish to Eric Lisboa at the 2024 Optimum Classic Pro on May 25, 2024. He faced a smaller lineup in this event and had one week to improve.
Shaw received all first-place votes from the judges. This was Shaw’s first win since the 2022 Warrior Classic event and second of his career. If he competes in the 2024 Olympia, it will be his debut on that stage.
Second Place — Jeremiah Willies
Some fans and experts thought Willies was the favorite in this contest, but the judges saw him as the clear runner-up. He was already Olympia-qualified, thanks to his win at the 2024 Fitworld Pro on April 13, 2024. His Olympia spot is still secured despite his defeat here.
Third Place — Louiege Bascog
Bascog ranked 10th in this contest in 2023. He made great improvements over the past year to reach the podium this time. He is in his third pro season, and this is his highest rank to date. As of this writing, there is no official word on whether he will compete again this season.
More Upcoming Olympia Qualifiers
