2024 Romania Muscle Fest Pro Results [LIVE UPDATES]

The 2024 Romania Muscle Fest Pro took place from November 9-10 in Cluj, Romania, featuring competitors from nine bodybuilding divisions: Men’s 212 Bodybuilding, Classic Physique, Men’s Open Bodybuilding, Men’s Physique, Bikini, Women’s Bodybuilding, Figure, Women’s Physique, and Wellness — all of whom fought for cash prizes and 2025 Mr. Olympia qualifications. 

In 2023, mass monster Samson Dauda secured gold at the Romania Muscle Fest Pro and then went on to win his maiden 2024 Mr. Olympia title. Suffice it to say, that this show holds special significance for athletes in the IFBB Pro League. 

Dauda didn’t compete in Romania over the weekend, therefore, a new champion was crowned when the dust settled. The headlining Men’s Open roster was packed with top-caliber threats including 2024 Olympia eighth-place finisher Rafael Brandao, as well as tenth-place finisher Akim Williams. Horse MD (Marcello De Angelis) was also on stage aiming to do damage.

2024 Romania Muscle Fest Pro Results & Scorecards

Men’s Open Bodybuilding

In the headlining act, Brazil’s Rafael Brandao brought a well-rounded package. With added mass, tremendous lines, and improved definition he stood out from the moment he appeared on stage. He last competed in eighth place at the 2024 Mr. Olympia contest and has only made strides in his physique since that event. 

Akim Williams was another on-paper frontrunner to win. This was easily his best package to date, which showcased ab improvements and his signature biceps. Having placed 10th at the 2024 Mr. Olympia, he stood a solid shot at pulling off gold. However, Rafael Brandao’s back detail and conditioning were too much for the judges to overlook, leading to a first-place finish. Akim Williams took second and Emir Omergaic took third. 

Men’s 212 Bodybuilding

It was a battle in Men’s 212 Bodybuilding as Radoslav Angelov went to waw with the stacked lineup. After narrowly taking home silver at the 2024 Blakan Grand Prix Pro, he was out for blood. Ahmad Ashkanani, a fixture in the division, also presented stellar conditioning, mass, and proportions.

Ashkanani finished ninth on the prestigious Olympia stage in 2024. In the end, Radoslav Angelov got the job done in first. Ahmad Ashkanani took second and Acsell Uta finished third. 

Classic Physique

Classic Physique saw Richard Nagy and Patrik Herczik fight for gold. Both presented arguably some of their most well-rounded packages of their career. With newfound striations in Nagy’s chest and shoulders, put up a compelling case to take home first place.

He last competed at the 2024 Mr. Olympia where he placed outside of the top 15. Meanwhile, Patrick Herczik took fourth at the highly competitive 2024 Everest Muscle Games Pro. Ultimately, Richard Nagy won gold with Patrik Herczik and Roberto Martinez Pizana finishing in third. 

Men’s Physique

Men’s Physique competitors brought the heat to Romania, eager to stamp early tickets to the 2025 Mr. Olympia. Emile Walker was one of the bigger names to witness on stage. His physique commands attention especially due to his conditioning levels from the front. Walker last competed at the recent 2024 Invictus Pro, where he sailed to first place. 

In his way was Omar Suleiman. He finished second place at the competitive 2024 British Championships, showcasing next-level improvements and on-stage poise. Ultimately, the night belonged to Emile Walker who carved out first place. Ireneusz Ptucha finished in third. 

Women’s Bodybuilding

Women’s Bodybuilding was a highly competitive affair. Anastasia Korableva made it clear she wasn’t going to make this easy on her opposition, who took second place at last year’s 2023 Romania Muscle Fest Pro. Reshanna Boswell was another huge name to watch.

She finished second place at the 2024 Europa Pro Championships, a sign of her success in the category. After a heated battle, Anastasia Korableva won first prize. Reshanna Boswell and Alida Opre finished in second and third place. 

Bikini

It’s been a busy season for Kerry Sexton, who has competed a number of times this season. With powerful glutes and an hourglass figure, she showcased a look judges appreciated. Having taken feedback from show to show, this was her best on stage and would likely stack up against other Olympia-worthy contenders. She last took third place at the 2024 Nutriyummy Pro show. 

In Sexton’s way was Alina Mirzakhanova. She’s a proven force in the category and is known for her symmetrical proportions. As of late, she finished in third place in Poland at the 2024 Everest Muscle Games. Following a close-fought battle, Kerry Sexton pulled off the big win. Alina Mirzakhanova and Natalie Myslikova took second and third-place honors. 

Figure

In the Figure category, Ayra Bajar and Lena Ramsteiner were in a fight for gold and bragging rights. Ramsteiner is always dangerous at every show she enters, having recently taken eighth place at Joe Weiders’ Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend. Meanwhile, Ayra Bahar looked great and took tenth in her last outing at the 2023 Chicago Pro. Ultimately, Ayra Bahar finished with gold. Lena Ramsteiner and Adela Ondrejovicova took third place. 

Women’s Physique

In Women’s Physique frontrunner Caroline Alves Dos Santos was out to make a statement with insane conditioning and stage presence. She won gold at the 2024 Mr. Big Evolution in Portugal. She was up against industry expert Barbara Menage.

Menage picked up a highly impressive fourth place finish at the 2024 Women’s Physique Olympia. Ultimately the judges swayed in the favor of Caroline Alves Dos Santos, who won first place. Barbara Menage and Julia Glazycheva took second and third place. 

Wellness

In Wellness, it was a dog fight between Sin Maria Teresa and Patrizzi Marice Barros, who both brought aesthetic and well-balanced looks to the stage. Patrizzi Marice Barros took sixth place at the 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro competition.

As for Patrizzi Marice Barros, she continues to prove herself as a viable contender at each contest she enters. When the smoke cleared, Sina Maria Teresa finished first. Patrizzi Marice Barros and Mariia Morozova settled for silver and bronze.
