Winner — Matheus Menegate
Matheus Menegate’s confidence in this contest was likely high after finishing second to Gabriel Zancanelli at the 2024 Texas Pro on Aug. 10, 2024. The judges gave him a perfect score in this show, giving him his first pro win and Olympia qualification.
Menegate can continue competing if he likes or he can focus on his prep for the 2024 Olympia. His Olympia position is safe, even if he competes again and fails to win.
Second Place — Lua Souza
This is Souza’s second runner-up finish of the 2024 season. He also claimed second in the 2024 Musclecontest Brazil Pro on July 21, 2024, won by Junior Javorski. If Souza has 2024 Olympia aspirations, he has until Sept. 15, 2024, to win a show and qualify.
Third Place — Mateus Lopes
Lopes ranked ninth in the 2024 Musclecontest Brazil Pro and looked much better this time. He didn’t appear to be holding as much water under his skin, which revealed more muscle definition when he posed.
Other Notes
This was one of two Classic Physique shows held on this date. The other was at the 2024 Tupelo Pro in Tupelo, MS. The show’s champion was Kim Angel of Spain, and he is now also qualified for the Olympia.
The next bodybuilding show in Brazil will be the 2024 Musclecontest Belo Horizonte Pro, a 212 bodybuilding competition scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, in Curitiba. That event will be a 2024 Olympia 212 qualifier.
