It’s a major weekend in bodybuilding with six IFBB Pro League events kicking off around the globe. One of which was the 2024 Vancouver Pro Show in Abbotsford, BC Canada, considered one of the most notable Olympia-qualifying events to be hosted in the nation. This competition was held from July 13-14 and featured six bodybuilding divisions, headlined by the Men’s Open.
Per the Olympia Qualification System, Pro competitors are quickly running out of chances to ensure their presence on the sport’s most celebrated stage. As it stands, the 2024 Mr. Olympia show is set to light up the busy city of Las Vegas, Nevada from October 10-13 in celebration of the organization’s 60th anniversary.
Last year, Hassan Mostafa won the Open title at the 2023 Vancouver Pro Show. However, he has opted to sit this one out. Thus, a new champion emerged over the weekend. In addition, five other contenders were draped in gold when all was said and done.
