Winner — Livingstone Livenho

This was Livenho’s first professional win, and it came with perfect scores from the judges. The head judge for the show was Tamer El Guindy. The rookie’s only other pro show before this was the 2024 Arnold South America event, where he placed third. 

Second Place — Gabriel Pereira

This was Pereira’s IFBB Pro League debut, and he looked impressive. Livenho’s structure is what appeared to give him the advantage.

Pereira received all second-place votes from the judges, meaning he finished ahead of several athletes with more experience than him. That could be a confidence boost for him going into his next show. At the time of this article’s publication, he has yet to announce what that next show will be.

Third Place — Paulo Henrique

Henrique was the lone athlete representing a different country. He traveled from Portugal for this event and was making his first appearance of the 2024 season. His last show was the 2023 Musclecontest International Ultimate Pro, where he finished second behind winner Gabriel Zancanelli.

Other Notes

This was one of two pro Classic Physique events held on May 18, 2024. The other was at the 2024 New York Pro, where Matthew Greggo left the stage as champion.

Two Classic Physique shows will also be held on May 25, 2024. Those are the Optimum Classic Pro in Shreveport, LA, and the German Classic Pro in St. Leon-Rot, Germany.
