2021 Olympia Classic Physique Prejudging Report & Analysis

October 9, 2021

Here is a full breakdown of prejudging from Olympia 2021 Classic Physique.

The Olympia 2021 Classic Physique division has gone through prejudging. After a packed fight of finals on Friday night, the action continued on Saturday morning beginning with Classic Physique. Chris Bumstead returned to stage as the two-time defending champion in the division.

This will not be an easy year for Bumstead. While he claims there is no competition, Arnold Classic champ Terrence Ruffin and former Olympia Classic Physique winner Breon Ansley will be vying for the title. This is a top-heavy group that can see anyone of a few competitors take home the championship.

The first callout had eight competitors back up. With the division being packed with 27 competitors, it is no surprise that the first callout was large. This was the case for the fifth one as well. Alex Cambronero joined the three mentioned above in the fifth callout. He finished second at the Arnold Classic after winning in 2020. Urs Kalecinski and Ramon Rocha Querioz also got a chance to go back out there for a second time.

This same group as brought out once again as the seventh callout. It ended up with Bumstead in the middle of Ruffin and Ansley as the judges wanted to get a sense of the three next to each other. This seems to be the top three to this point, with Cambronero fourth.

This is a large division but there still seems to be some clarity at the top. The finals on Saturday night should be nothing short of exciting. Below, you can find a full breakdown of the event from Saturday morning.
