2024 Europa Pro Results All Divisions 

Open Bodybuilding 

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. Bruno Santos’ muscle separation along with his conditioning levels stood out immediately. In addition, it was clear his quad definition reached new levels. 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. This made for a tough night for all competitors, including Maluleke. Angelov last competed at the 2023 Romania Musclefest Pro in third place. By the time the scores were tallied, Muzi Maluleke took first place. Radoslav Angelov and Hameed Juma Ebrahim secured second and third-place honors. 

Classic Physique

Classic Physique contender Julio Gorila used his symmetry, deep separation, and flaring quads to control the stage, especially throughout prejudging where his physique appeared drier than other competitors. He last competed at the 2023 Musclecontest Recife Pro, having pushed into second place in an impressive showing. 

Adrian Cyronek also presented a unique challenge throughout the competition. His combination of conditioning and fullness had the judges watching his every pose. He also held his own against Gorila thanks to comparable conditioning levels and last competed at the 2022 Romania Musclefest Pro in seventh place. In the end, Julio Gorila took home first prize. Adrian Cyronek and Jesus Rodríguez Sendra finished second and third. 

Men’s Physique

It was another thrilling affair in the Men’s Physique category. Among the top names aiming to take home gold was Alessandro Cavagnola, who commanded the stage, especially during quarter turns and any time the judges called for front or back relaxed shots. 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. By the time the scores were tallied, Alessandro Cavagnola and Tunahan Guler took first and second place. Adeyemi Awoyemi rounded out the podium in third. 

Wheelchair

In the Wheelchair category, stories of triumph and inspiration always make for compelling contests. In the running for gold were frontrunners Blake Colleton and Louisiana’s Galon Grigsby. Colleton’s upper body density easily set the tone as the contest unfolded.

Grigsby on the other hand, had last tested his will at the 2024 Arnold Classic, where he turned in a fifth-place showing, respectively. Although Grigsby had some momentum, the night belonged to Blake Colleton ultimately. With Grigsby taking second, Jean Pierre finished in third. 

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. 

Her opposition was divisional mainstay Reshanna Boswell, who also looked to have brought up her arms, abs, and calves since her last showing, which happened to come at the recent and prestigious 2024 Alina Popa Women’s Bodybuilding show in second place. While it was a close affair, Nadia Capotosto got her hand raised in first. Reshanna Boswell and Irene Anderson finished with second and third-place trophies. 

Women’s Physique

Women’s Physique athletes brought the heat and delivered some exciting posing routines. Barbara Menage’s muscularity got the attention of the judges rather quickly and her aesthetics only made for a more potent combo on stage. The France native last competed in the 2024 Mr. Big Evolution showing one of her best looks ever on her way to taking silver. 

In her way was Nadine Phoenix whose symmetry and tight waist were on display throughout the finals. With the perfect peak and a captivating posing routine, she stood a solid shot at taking gold. She last tested herself at the  NPC Worldwide Gymshark Ryan Terry British Championship. Ultimately, Barbara Menage claimed first prize. Nadine Phoenix and Manon Phoenix took second and third. 

Figure

In the Figure category, Sara Kinnvik from Sweden controlled the stage early and dominantly, thanks to her shape alongside her impressive quads and hamstrings. Having acquired considerable momentum in the cutthroat division, Kinnvik always seems to improve in each of her outings. 

She was up against Anna Borin, who brought a stellar combination of muscularity, balance, and conditioning. She narrowly took second place to seasoned Pro Lena Ramsteiner at the 2024 Mr. Big Evolution show in Portugal. After a hard-fought battle and numerous comparisons, Sara Kinnvik claimed first. Anna Borin was separated by five points in second place and Nina Paulus finished in third. 

Fitness

The Fitness division always brings flare, entertainment value, and crazy posing routines to the table and this event saw all of it. Among the frontrunners to nab gold was Michaela Pavleova, a proven threat in the highly competitive IFBB category. She last tested her talents at the 2024 Adela Garcia Fitness Pro where she nailed down second place. 

Martina Gambaro was another name to watch this weekend, who brought a powerful blend of agility, flexibility, and poise to her individual routine. She continues to make strides as a divisional standout, having showcased notable improvements in her legs and midsection over the seasons. After a close battle, Michaela Pavleova took first place. Martina Gabaro finished in second place. Annika Drescher claimed third. 

Bikini

Bikini contenders got straight to business over the weekend, doing their best to break away from fellow contenders. The hourglass shape of Adrianna Kaczmarek was a major talking point among the crowd and online audience. She continues to display the ideal balance of fullness and detail, making her physique one of the most aesthetic on stage. She last tested herself at the 2022 Tahoe Pro in fifth place. 

Her main adversary, Jess Feeney is also a proven contender in the Bikini division. With great shape and a solid command of posing, she has a knack for displaying her strengths, especially while walking the stage. Feeney carved out a seventh-place spot at the recent 2024 Promuscle Italy Pro show. When the scores were settled, Adrianna Kaczmarek took home gold. Jess Feeney and Kerry Sexton took second and third place. 

Wellness

Wellness contenders lit up the stage with great physiques and captivating posing routines. Camile Luz from Brazil made a statement early with shapely hips and great lower body density, complete with filled-out and defined calves. This can give the appearance of a much more balanced physique and judges took notice of that. Luz last competed at the NPC Worldwide Olympia Amateur Eastern Europe in first. 

Meanwhile, Wellness standout Sanda Colorado Acal was in attendance and eager to do some damage. Her on-stage poise and balanced muscularity always give her opponents problems on stage. Sandra Colorado Acal last took 11th at the stacked 2024 Heart of Texas Pro show. After a close contest, Camile Luz claimed first prize. Sandra Colorado Acal and Lexy Oliver finished in second and third place.
