2026 Europa Pro Results: Samson Dauda Wins 11 Days Before Mr. Olympia

The 2026 Europa Pro took over Offenbach, Germany, on September 13, featuring IFBB Pro League athletes across 11 divisions, including Men’s Open, 212, Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Women’s Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure, Bikini, Women’s Physique, Wellness, and Fit Model.

With the 2026 Mr. Olympia approaching, the show offered competitors another important opportunity to qualify or sharpen their physiques before bodybuilding’s biggest event.

The biggest story belonged to former Mr. Olympia champion Samson Dauda, who stepped on stage just 11 days before the 2026 Olympia. “The Nigerian Lion” used the contest as a final test of his conditioning and walked away with the Men’s Open title.

Regan Grimes, fresh off his 2026 Austrian Oak victory, continued his strong season with a runner-up finish, while John Jewett brought his trademark conditioning and muscular detail to secure third place.

Elsewhere, Marco Ruz won 212 Bodybuilding, Mohammad Ali took Classic Physique, and Paul Gustave claimed Men’s Physique. Anna Terzo, Michaela Pavleova, Lena Ramsteiner, Nadia Bao Bonnie Aung, Lenka Ferencukova, Lisa Meiswinkel, and Sarah Terzenbach rounded out the division winners.
