Ramon Dino prepares to defend Classic Physique title at Mr. Olympia 2026

Brazilian bodybuilder Ramon Dino is preparing to defend his Classic Physique title at the Mr. Olympia 2026, scheduled to take place from September 24 to 27 in Las Vegas, United States. Dino, who became the first Brazilian to win the title in 2025, expressed that his primary challenge is himself as he seeks a second consecutive championship.

There is significant anticipation regarding a potential return to competition by Canadian athlete Chris Bumstead, a six-time champion who retired at the end of 2024. Dino noted that while he previously sought to defeat Bumstead during his active years, the prospect of a rematch now that Dino holds the title adds a new dimension to the competition.

Brazil will have a strong presence at the event with 58 registered athletes. Alongside Dino, Brazilian champions Natalia Abraham Coelho (Women’s Physique) and Eduarda Bezerra (Wellness) are also set to compete.
