Classic Physique Winner — Manuel Angelo
Angelo’s 2025 season debut came less than three weeks before the 2025 Olympia Weekend qualifying cutoff, but he made the most of the opportunity. He can continue competing to potentially block others from qualifying or wait until the Classic Physique Olympia to step back onstage.
Men’s Physique Winner — Vincius Mateus Viera Lima
Lucas Viudes was considered the early favorite because he won the 2025 Mexico Grand Battle Pro but finished in third place behind runner-up Dilson Espindola. Lima is now qualified to join Viudes on the 2025 Men’s Physique Olympia stage.
