Kalecinski and Queiroz showcased Classic Physique at the Pittsburgh event. Queiroz recently placed behind Wesley Vissers at the 2024 Arnold Classic, with Kalecinski also taking third place. However, ‘The Miracle Bear’ has stirred discussions by claiming he can defeat reigning Classic Physique Olympia Chris Bumstead.
While comparisons between Walker and Lunsford are common, it’s worth noting that ‘The Mutant’ plans to compete in the 2024 New York Pro in under a week. There, he aims to secure $30,000 and his Olympia qualification. Lunsford is currently in his off-season preparation for a potential title defense at the upcoming Mr. Olympia.
The guest posers in Pittsburgh sparked speculation about the next Mr. Olympia. The 2024 Mr. Olympia 60th anniversary is scheduled for October 10-13 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
