The Men’s Open athletes quickly hit the stage eager to make statements considering this was their final opportunity to qualify for this year’s Olympia.

Santos came into this show with momentum, laying claim to third place at the recent 2024 Promuscle Italy Pro won by Hunter Labrada.
But fan-favorite Andrea Presti brought his usual diced conditioning levels, which led to a close battle on stage. His striated glutes had fans talking online about him possibly pushing for gold. Presti defeated Santos in his last contest at the 2024 Promuscle Italy Pro, so most figured he’d be a surefire favorite to win the title. Thanks to the dramatic improvements made to Bruno Santos’ physique, he secured the victory. Presti finished second and Lewis Breed took third place.

Men’s 212 Bodybuilding
The extreme conditioning levels that Muzi Mululeke brought to this event had fans online chatting about his potential, especially assuming he would be able to grab the all-important qualification for the 2024 Mr. Olympia. His chest striations and powerful back shots paved the way for him to find success throughout the prejudging rounds. He last tested his mettle at the 2022 Musclecontest Brazil Pro where he narrowly took second place behind Jafar Ghafarnezh Adazizi.
Radoslav Angelov, a name known for his consistent ability to get shredded, put on a show for fans and his side density was nothing to scoff at.

It was another thrilling affair in the Men’s Physique category.

He last competed and won at the 2024 Promuscle Italy Pro, boasting a look complemented by his dug-in midsection and wide lats.
Cavagnola faced heavy resistance on stage in the form of Tunaha Guler. Guler’s muscle definition and peaky biceps gave him an edge in certain poses, making this contest close in the eyes of the judges. It had been a while since we saw Guler in action, who last took fourth place at the 2023 T.R.U. Athlete Pro contest.

Women’s Bodybuilding
It takes supreme muscle detail, fullness, and 3D volume to truly stand out as a frontrunner in Women’s Bodybuilding and that’s exactly what Nadia Capotosto brought to the stage. Her combination of stage presence alongside a massively improved physique sent shockwaves through the crowd, felt by the judges. She last competed at the 2024 Empro Classic Pro in Spain, and to no surprise took home first place.
