Carmen Tocheniuk won Women’s Bodybuilding at the 2026 Luciano Cruz Juiz de Fora Pro in Brazil on November 14, her first pro title, a week after she was second at the Steve Karr Las Vegas Classic Pro. Kaique Santos won Men’s Physique and Naiana Nana defended her Women’s Physique title, and all three qualify for the 2027 Olympia.
The Luciano Cruz Juiz de Fora Pro also ran in 2024 and 2025. This year it drew 30 athletes across three open divisions, and every winner left with a 2027 Olympia place. Santos made it two Brazilian wins in eight days, as Junior Javorski did at the KC Pro in Kansas City the same night.
Men’s Physique
Santos won from 17 men, a week after he won the Musclecontest FitPira Pro. It is his third pro title, after the Musclecontest Brazil Pro in Curitiba in July, and he was 10th at the Men’s Physique Olympia in September. Rafael Oliveira, third here last year, was second, and Diogo Basaglia was third.

What It Means for the 2027 Olympia
Women’s Bodybuilding and Women’s Physique are win-and-you’re-in divisions, so Tocheniuk qualifies for the 2027 Ms. Olympia and Nana for the 2027 Women’s Physique Olympia. Men’s Physique runs on points, with the top 20 in the standings qualifying when the period closes on September 12, 2027, and two open-class (non-masters) wins inside the period also earn a place. Santos qualifies under that two-win rule, with this title and his FitPira win; his July win in Curitiba came before the period opened on August 31, 2026. Our 2027 Olympia qualified athletes list tracks who is in and who is close.
