The highly anticipated 2023 BODYBE1 Classic Pro took place on June 17 in Montgomery, Alabama. This event witnessed fierce competition among Fitness and Men’s Physique athletes, all vying for a chance to secure their spot at the prestigious Mr. Olympia competition.
Countdown to Mr. Olympia: October 9 Deadline
Aspiring athletes now have until October 9 to solidify their participation in the esteemed Mr. Olympia stage. The multi-day bodybuilding extravaganza is scheduled to take place from November 2-5 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Limited Qualification Time, Higher Stakes
This season presents a shorter timeframe for qualification, resulting in fewer professional shows available for athletes to showcase their skills. The victor in the Men’s Physique category at the BODYBE1 Classic Pro will earn an opportunity to challenge reigning champion Erin Banks. Simultaneously, the Fitness athlete who claims gold will face off against Fitness Olympia titleholder Missy Truscott.
Contenders to Watch
Mehdi Kabbadj enters the contest with impressive momentum, having already secured his Mr. Olympia invitation through his victorious performance at the 2023 Toronto Pro Supershow. Standing in his way is Drew Cullen, a competitor who has already participated in two events this year, securing second place at the Palmetto Classic Pro and third place at the Mile High Pro. Additionally, Juan Manuel Gochez is determined to clinch a victory, with his best finish this year being third place at the 2023 DC Pro.
Excitement builds as the bodybuilding community eagerly awaits the outcomes of these competitions, which will shape the lineup for the highly anticipated Mr. Olympia event.
