Classic Physique Athletes to Watch
Below are some of the Classic Physique favorites to contend for the gold:
Antoine Loth
Antoine Loth will compete in the 2023 Classic Physique Olympia thanks to his win at the 2023 Mr. Big Evolution Pro. The 2023 Iogenix Spain Pro can serve as a progress gauge for the 2023 Olympia and potentially secure an early 2024 qualification.
Christopher Ziller
Christopher Ziller qualified for the 2023 Olympia via his Ashoor Classic victory against two other competitors. Ziller faces a larger field in this contest more akin to what he can expect in Orlando.
German Pastor
Pastor competed twice in 2023, finishing in third place at the 2023 Europa Pro and the 2023 Sheru Classic France Pro. Even though he’s not qualified for the 2023 Olympia in Orlando, FL, on Nov. 2-5, 2023, winning the Iogenix Spain Pro would offer him an extended off-season to prepare for the 2024 Olympia.

Wellness Athletes to Watch
Below are the Wellness athletes likely to clash in the first callout:
Sandra Colorado Acal
Before Sandra Colorado Acal makes her Wellness Olympia debut in November, she would cement a spot on the 2024 Olympia stage. The third-year pro won the 2023 Toronto Pro Supershow and the 2023 Europa Pro.
Paula Dominguez Garcia
Paula Dominguez Garcia made her 2023 debut at the Europa Pro, finishing two spots behind Acal. This rematch offers her another opportunity to show Garcia has what it takes to be a champion in the pro ranks.
Houda Hmini
Masters competitor Houda Hmini ranked 10th at the 2023 Masters Olympia, but placed seventh in the Fitparade Pro open show. In a field of this size, anything is possible. The second-year pro seeks her first win.
