Even though venue, location, and date details are still being ironed out for the 2025 Mr. Olympia contest, competitors are still attempting to qualify for the prestigious event by winning a Pro show. Nevertheless, fan attention has swirled around next month because of the highly anticipated Mr. Olympia contest (October 10-13). 

Charles Griffen last won this contest in the Men’s Open class in 2023. However, he sat out of this show, therefore, when the dust settled, a new champion emerged victorious. Brett Wilkin won this year’s Open Bodybuilding title after a battle with Bruno Santos. Check out the full results below:

2024 Legion Sports Fest Pro Results & Points Table

Men’s Open Bodybuilding

In the headlining act, the pressure was palpable as frontrunners went to war in hopes of stamping an early ticket to the 2025 Mr. Olympia. Brett Wilkin, coached by Matt Jansen, who also oversees Nick Walker’s preparations, delivered by far his most complete package to date.

He took time away from the stage to correct gut health issues which held him back from putting together solid momentum. With deeper abs, a very strong back, and improvements just about everywhere on his physique, it was clear the decision to step away for some time was the right one. Wilkin last competed at the 2022 Mr. Bigman Weekend Pro Spain which he won handily.

In ‘The Butcher’s’ way was Bruno Santos, whose size, capped shoulders, and tricep definition proved to be a powerful look. Santos has quickly become a force in the Men’s Open, having last secured gold at the recent 2024 Europa Pro competition. In the end, Brett Wilkin claimed first place.  Bruno Santos took second and Martin Hernandez rounded out the podium in third place.  

Classic Physique 

Classic Physique put on a showstopper of a contest, with Michael Daboul’s conditioning serving as the talk of the night. His dryness combined with a slim waist made for a potent combination on stage, which led to significant momentum throughout prejudging and finals. Just a week before this competition, Daboul dominated at the 2024 Titans Grand Prix Pro, showcasing new width to his back and improved lats. 

No competitor made it easy on Daboul though, as Emanuele Ricotti looked to be in rare form. His conditioning and muscle density made for a closer contest. In April, Ricotti picked up a statement win at the 2024 1 Bro Pro Show. After an intense round of comparisons, Michael Daboul earned gold. Emanuele Ricotti placed second and Jorge Herrera finished in third. 

Men’s Physique

Men’s Physique contenders gathered on Saturday night to battle it out for gold. Among the top names to catch the judges’ eyes was Jinbo Li, his stature, quarter turns, and back relaxed shots were notable strengths, which shined throughout the contest. He last competed in May, when he nailed down gold at the highly competitive 2024 Kim Jun Ho Korea Pro. 

Li was challenged by Rhyan Clark and three other contenders who managed to make the final confirmation rounds. Clark competed at the 2024 Mile High Pro, cementing his name above the top threats to earn gold. While this was a close encounter, Jinbo Li pulled away in first place. Rhyan Clark and Mehdi Kabbadj finished in second and third place. 

Bikini

Bikini contenders quickly stormed the stage on Saturday night. Jordan Brannon’s symmetry, hourglass figure, and shape commanded the show, especially during the finals and throughout the last comparisons. She competed in the 2024 Sasquatch Pro, proving herself against an incredibly deep lineup of talent in fifth place. 

She was challenged by the slim waist and aesthetics of Wu Bi. Bi continues to improve under the limelight, steadily rising up the ranks as a powerful Bikini contender. She also competed recently at the 2024 Sasquatch Pro, finishing in ninth. This time out, Jordan Brannon got her hand raised. Wu Bi took second and Lacy Rutland claimed third place. 

Figure

From the moment she took to the stage, Erika Phillips commanded it like a veteran. Her ability to showcase her physique alongside her V-taper and definition has turned her into a premiere threat in the category. She last tested herself at this event in 2023, where she secured 12th place. 

Fans’ eyeballs also shifted to the physique brought by Rejoice Godwin, who continues to not only captivate fans but also brings a unique flair to her posing. Godwin had the world watching when she captured gold at the 2024 Hungary Kokeny Classic Pro. While her opposition put up a good fight, Rejoice Godwin claimed first prize. Erika Phillips and Andrea Hagans finished in second and third. 

Fitness

Competitors from the Fitness division wasted no time hopping on stage. Allison Kramer looked to have brought one of the most well-rounded packages of her career, complete with deep ab separation and an entertaining posing routine. She last tested her mettle at the 2024 Adela Garcia Pro, where she glided into first place, proving herself once again on stage.

However, crowd attention certainly got behind the physique and performance of Kristin Pope, who continues to make strides in the category as a crafty and consistent contender. Although she took seventh in her last outing at the 2024 Titans Grand Prix Pro, she has long proven herself as not only dangerous but capable of shoring up any weak points. Ultimately, Allison Kramer secured gold with Kristin Pope narrowly taking second place. Corina Harkelroad finished third.  

Women’s Physique 

Women’s Physique competitors delivered on Saturday night, pushing each other to the brink of defeat throughout the contest. Ceci Barba stood out, thanks to her dry-as-bone conditioning and shape, which carried her through the prejudging rounds. She last tested her limits at the 2023 Texas Pro, taking third place with a respectable performance. 

Evon Pennington also looked determined to win gold, shocking the audience with aesthetics, a tight waist, and impressive muscle tone. Competing at the 2024 Rising Phoenix Arizona Pro, Pennington put on a show, taking second place in a close contest. With newfound improvements, Pennington walked away with gold. Ceci Barba and Lexi Lowery secured podium spots in second and third. 

Wellness

In the Wellness category, competitors aimed to present a package that would stand out from the lineup. This contest saw Lisa Meiswinkel take control early throughout the prejudging rounds, mostly due to her impressive lower body and aesthetic proportions. Meiswinkel is a proven force in Wellness, having last competed at the 2024 Texas Pro where she shined en route to gold.

Meanwhile, Bruna Seredich was determined to stamp her ticket early for the 2025 Mr. Olympia. She brought an eye-catching combination of stage presence and subtle muscular tone, laying the foundation for a top-notch performance. She won the Wellness title at the 2024 Charlotte Pro, cementing her standing among a fierce crop of talent. This time around, Lisa Meiswinkel pulled off the big win. Bruna Seredich took second and Kassandra Gillis placed third.  

Our team at Fitness Volt congratulates the seven winners on their impressive victories. We look forward to seeing you fight for gold next year at the Mr. Olympia contest.
