Ramon Rocha Queiroz spoke on his recent loss to Wesley Vissers during the 2024 Arnold Classic.
The Classic Physique division has been dominated by Chris Bumstead over the years but it remains a top-heavy division. After the 2024 Arnold Classic, there is a new name to watch out for. Wesley Vissers pulled off a major upset and defeated reigning champion Ramon Rocha Queiroz in Columbus. Following his performance, Ramon Dino issued a statement thanks fans for their support and sharing his future plans.
“My plan for the future is to dedicate myself 1,000 times more.”
Ramon Dino entered the weekend as a huge favorite to win the Arnold Classic. He had finished as the runner-up to Bumstead in each of the last two years at the Olympia and won the 2023 Arnold Classic. Urs Kalecinski has been a top three competitor in Classic Physique over the last two years and finished third in Columbus.
This set the stage for an extremely entertaining Olympia competition in Classic Physique.
