Commentary
Three-time champion Francielle Mattos was greeted with a rousing ovation from the live crowd when she took the stage. Mattos remains the only competitor to ever win the Wellness Olympia since its debut in 2021.
The top three from last year — Mattos, Isabelle Nunes, and Eduarda Bezerra — held center stage, with Mattos in the center of the trio.
Elisa Alcantara joined the three in the final callout, but Nunes and Mattos remained in the center. The crowd favored the judges’ call.
Nunes and Mattos were compared directly in a final callout. Judges declared them the top two, but it was unclear who would take the overall title.
