Mr. Olympia 2026 concludes; focus shifts to Brazil

Overview

The 2026 Mr. Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, organized by the International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (IFBB), has concluded. The event, marking the 62nd anniversary of the competition, featured over 300 athletes across 12 categories and provided free broadcasting for the first time.

While the event faced early participation challenges due to international visa issues, the professional divisions proceeded. Major competition results included Nick Walker winning Men’s Bodybuilding (Open), Niall Darwen winning Classic Physique, Ryan Terry winning Men’s Physique, Jasmine Gonzalez winning Bikini Ms. Olympia, Andrea Shaw winning Ms. Olympia, and Blake Colleton winning Wheelchair Olympia.

Following the competition, Brazilian bodybuilder Ramon Dino expressed mixed emotions after placing third in the Classic Physique category. While noting the result was not what he had planned, Dino stated he remains motivated and is looking toward the 2027 Arnold Classic. Dino’s performance was part of a record-breaking year for Brazilian bodybuilding, which secured eight podium finishes at the recent Mr. Olympia, including wins by Eduarda Bezerra in Wellness and Natalia Abraham Coelho in Women’s Physique.

The focus now shifts to Brazil for the Mr. Olympia Brasil Expo 2026, scheduled for October 16 to 18 at Distrito Anhembi in São Paulo. The event is expected to host over 800 athletes competing for 24 professional cards, providing a pathway to the IFBB Pro League and the Mr. Olympia circuit.
