Winner — Esteban Fuquene

Fuquene was coming off a second-place finish at the 2024 Toronto Pro Supershow on June 9, 2024, in Toronto, ON, Canada. Some fans felt he could have contended for the win in that show. He had two weeks to make the necessary adjustments to look even better and did just that to claim the gold.

Should Fuquene compete again during the 2024 qualifying season and lose, his Olympia qualification remains secure. However, if he wins another pro show, he would block that contest’s Olympia qualification from being awarded.

Second Place — Michael Condell

Condell made his IFBB Pro League debut three years after earning his pro status at the 2021 NPC National Championships. The prejudging round was the only scored round at this show. Condell was the clear runner-up, beating several veterans. That should be a confidence booster heading into his next contest.

Third Place — Cody Drobot

Drobot was better at this show than in Toronto, where he finished sixth overall. To continue pursuing an Olympia qualification, he must enter and win a pro show before Sept. 15, 2024.

212 To China

The next 212 show on the 2024 IFBB calendar is the China Pro in Sanya, China, on the weekend of July 5-7, 2024. The roster for that show has not been released at the time of this article’s publication.
