212 Bodybuilding Winner — Vitor Alves Porto De Oliveira

This was De Oliveira’s first pro win and Olympia 212 qualification. It came with all first-place votes from the judges over second-place finisher Bhekumuzi “Muzi” Maluleke. De Oliveria is seen by many fans and insiders as a future contender for the Olympia title. This was his first major step in bringing that speculation to fruition.

Classic Physique Winner — Terrence Ruffin

There were several additions to the Classic Physique lineup by the time pre-judging began. Those roster additions didn’t affect Terrence Ruffin, who dominated the show for gold. Ruffin ranked fifth in the 2023 Classic Physique Olympia, so he needed a pro win to return to the Olympia in 2024.

Men’s Physique Winner — Benquil Marigny

Fifteen athletes took to the stage in the Men’s Physique contest, and Benquil Marigny was crowned champion. Only one round was needed for the judges to make the decision. It marked Marigny’s fifth career victory.

Men’s Wheelchair Winner — Rajesh John

Rajesh John made his Men’s Wheelchair pro debut at this contest. He scored his first pro win and Olympia qualification in an upset over the more experienced Eugeno Molino (second) and Anand Arnold (third).

Bikini Winner — Priscila Rodrigues

Priscila Rodrigues was crowned Bikini champion at this contest over runner-up Navreet Josan and third-place finisher Alessia Facchin. Rodrigues tried four times to qualify for the 2023 Olympia unsuccessfully but is locked in for the 2024 contest.
