Highlights from the 2026 Classic Physique Olympia prejudging.
The 2026 Classic Physique Olympia took center stage in Las Vegas with one of the most anticipated rematches of Olympia Weekend. Ramon Dino enters as the reigning champion, but another loaded field will attempt to prevent the Brazilian star from successfully defending his title.
Dino captured his first Classic Physique Olympia championship in 2025, officially beginning a new era in the division following the retirement of six-time champion Chris Bumstead. His victory came over Mike Sommerfeld, who finished runner-up for the second consecutive year and has spent the past year preparing for another opportunity at the title.
Prejudging should give fans their first indication of whether the championship is headed toward another Dino-Sommerfeld showdown or if another contender can force his way into the title conversation.
