Preliminary review of the 2024 Olympics on Saturday: Classic and men’s physics

The Las Vegas Convention Center released the Saturday morning events of the 2024 Joe Weider Olympia Fitness and Performance Weekend. Today’s program included the highly anticipated Classic Physique Olympia, Men’s Physique Olympia, Bikini Olympia and both rounds of the 2024 Wheelchair Olympia. Here’s a quick look back at everything that happened on the World Fitness Expo stage.

Chris Bumstead begins his search for Six

The day started with Classic Physique. Five-time defending champion Chris Bumstead stood alongside over 50 of the IFBB Pro League’s best, including Urs Kalecinski and Mike Sommerfeld, who stood alongside him in the last comparison. This clearly means that it is up to these three other players to win the championship. We’ll see how that turns out tonight at Resorts World.

Male physique depends on Ryan Terry and Ali Bilal

Many Men’s Physique fans, not Ryan Terry, would be there to repeat as champion, but they also thought 2022 winner Erin Banks would be there. If the calls are any indication, then Ali Bilal appears to be the man to push Terry to the title, which was a pleasant surprise for many fans from Brazil. However, nothing is set in stone yet. The top 10 will take center stage in the final tonight.

Insecurity in a bikini

The bikini division competition appears to be a four-woman race. Three-time champion Ashley Kaltwasser is on course to claim her fourth Olympic victory and her 50th career victory overall. Standing in her way are three-time Bikini International winner Lauralie Chapados, Aimee Leann Delgado and Jasmine Gonzalez. They were often swapped during the preliminary decision, so even the judges are not sure at this point.

The final night of the 2024 Olympics weekend begins at 7:00 p.m. Pacific time. Saturday night’s show will feature the finals of Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Bikini and the 60th edition of Mr Olympia.
