What It Means for the 2027 Olympia
Burton, Fuquene and Hanson qualify by winning here: in the Men’s Open, 212 and Women’s Bodybuilding, a win at a pro show earns a place at the next Olympia. Reyes Padilla, Abraham Coelho and Alcantara were already in, as top-three finishers at the 2026 Olympia. Banks now has two open wins in the 2027 qualifying season, the Dominican Republic Pro and this one, which qualifies under the two-win rule, but the IFBB still listed him on 32 points on October 5. Classic Physique and Bikini run on points, and the top 20 qualify when the period closes: Perez opens on 10 points, and Ruffin adds 10 to the points he earned for fifth at the Olympia. Our 2027 Olympia qualified athletes list tracks who is in and who is close.
