This year’s 2023 Arnold Classic South America kicked off April 14-16 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This competition served as a Mr. Olympia qualifier for the Men’s Open and Men’s Wheelchair divisions.
The bodybuilding calendar is currently underway as athletes aim to earn their respective invitations to the 2023 Mr. Olympia competition. This year’s Olympia takes place from November 2-5, in Orlando, Florida inside the Orange County Convention Center.
Athletes from the Men’s Open division must win a pro show to guarantee their passage to the prestigious Mr. Olympia event. The point system has been removed and there are fewer months to qualify in 2023 compared to last year.
A few names got the attention of fans, who expect a very exciting show in Brazil. Vitor Hugo Boff is a leading threat this weekend. Boff was the 2022 Musclecontest Brazil Pro champ and made his debut on the Olympia stage last December.
Additionally, Emir Omeragic, who placed sixth at last year’s New York Pro was eager to prove naysayers wrong with a commanding performance. And perhaps the biggest frontrunner of the show, Behrooz Tabani, trained by Milos Sarcev, intends to do some damage. His lone pro show came at the 2021 Romania Muscle Fest Pro where he placed third behind Samson Dauda.
