The 2024 Sheru Classic Mumbai Pro show held in Mumbai, India, took place from December 20-22. It featured competitors from four divisions: Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Men’s Wheelchair, and Bikini — all of which fought for cash prizes and Olympia qualifications.
There are limited opportunities for IFBB Pro athletes to guarantee qualifications for the 2025 Mr. Olympia, which has yet to reveal its official date, location, and venue. With that in mind, this show held special significance, especially for the four divisions showcased over the weekend.
The IFBB Pro League announced that the qualification period began on September 16, 2024, and runs until September 14, 2025, leaving competitors plenty of time to guarantee their entry to the biggest event of the year.
