Chris Bumstead on pace for his fifth title. Here is the breakdown of prejudging from 2023 Olympia Classic Physique.

The 2023 Classic Physique Olympia prejudging kicked off the action on Saturday morning in Orlando, FL on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. There was a total of six champions crowned on Friday night and there will be five more on Saturday. In Classic, Chris Bumstead took the stage looking to defend his title and win number five.

A loaded group in Classic Physique Division showed off during the first callout. As expected, Bumstead was put in the center with Ramon Rocha Queiroz on his left. This was the major matchup to watch coming in with Ramon Dino finishing as the runner-up last year and winning the 2023 Arnold Classic title.

Urs Kalecinski and former Classic champ Breon Ansley were also featured in the first callout. Kalecinski was the runner-up to Queiroz in March and a top three finisher last season on the biggest stage. Ansley impressed with extra muscle he was able to add to his physique due to the news weight restrictions. Terrence Ruffin and Michael Daboul completed the six in the first callout.

Bumstead and Queiroz were brought back out for the seventh and final callout to get a better look at the two next to each other.

The Classic Physique division featured a total of 35 competitors this year but there remains to be a clear top tier in competition. How will it all play out on Saturday night during the finals? Judges got their first look during prejudging and this is how it played out on Saturday morning.
