In Bucharest on August 31, 2025, Alcione Santos Barreto of Brazil won the Alina Popa Classic Pro and confirmed her place at the Ms. Olympia. The show featured eight women in the bodybuilding division.
Alcione Santos Barreto delivered the strongest package on stage and took the victory with a perfect score. With this win, she officially qualified for the 2025 Ms. Olympia. Barreto had already secured her Olympia ticket earlier this season by winning the Mr. Big Evolution Pro, so her victory in Bucharest did not pass an additional qualification to another competitor.
