Classic Physique Winner — Sabur Favors
Favors and runner-up Damien Patrick put on a solid show for the fans in this event, but the judges gave Favors the nod, making him qualified for the Classic Physique Olympia for the first time since 2021. He finished 16th on the Olympia stage that year.
Men’s Physique Winner — Victor Ramirez
Ramirez was 15th at the 2024 Olympia, which made him a favorite going into this show. His last appearance in this contest was in 2022, and he finished seventh that year. The sixth-year pro can keep competing and try to stop others from qualifying for the Olympia, or he can take an extended offseason to focus on moving up the ranks next year.
Figure Winner — Maria Diaz
Diaz, also known as Maria Luisa Baeza Diaz Pereira, finished second at the 2024 Hurricane Pro to winner Jessica Reyes Padilla. Still, her shape and conditioning at this show were good enough to win. Maude Exantus and Edith Driver took silver and bronze, respectively.
Bikini Winner — Taylor Crowell
Crowell and two-time Bikini Olympia champion Angelica Teixeira were in a very close contest, and the judges gave Crowell the nod by a single point. This was unexpected because Crowell was 11th at the 2024 Hurricane Pro, making this win a big upset. It is her first win and Olympia qualification.
Women’s Physique Winner — Natalia Abraham Coelho
Coelho has been dominant in her post-Olympia shows, and this one played out the same way. Since she was already locked into the 2025 Olympia as both a former champion and 2024 Olympia runner-up, no qualification was issued for this category.
