The 2026 IFBB Optimum Classic Pro took place on May 30 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and delivered five Olympia-qualifying winners across multiple divisions. Athletes competed in Men’s Classic Physique, Women’s Figure, Women’s Bikini, Women’s Physique, and Women’s Wellness, all chasing crucial qualification points for the 2026 Olympia.
The event featured a mix of breakout performances and established names returning to form. Several competitors used the stage to completely shift their season momentum, while others continued already strong campaigns with another major victory.
Jordan Plantiko produced the most dramatic turnaround of the weekend after placing 16th at the 2026 Pittsburgh Pro just two weeks earlier. Elisa Pecini also bounced back from a third-place finish at the 2026 Miami Pro to reclaim a title, while Sara Bradley secured one of the closest wins of the entire event.

2026 Optimum Classic Pro Results
Men’s Classic Physique
Jordan Plantiko delivered the standout performance in Men’s Classic Physique and controlled the entire contest from prejudging through finals. His structure, conditioning, and stage presentation separated him clearly from the rest of the lineup, and the judges rewarded him with a dominant three-point victory.
What made the win even more notable was the turnaround from his Pittsburgh Pro result just two weeks earlier. At that contest, he finished 16th, but in Shreveport he arrived with a dramatically improved physique and locked in his first major win of the season.
Behind him, Zavier Steward secured second place after a consistent showing across both rounds. Brady Barnes rounded out the top three after staying competitive throughout the final comparisons.
