The 2026 Europa Pro took over Offenbach, Germany, on September 13, featuring IFBB Pro League athletes across 11 divisions, including Men’s Open, 212, Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Women’s Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure, Bikini, Women’s Physique, Wellness, and Fit Model.

Regan Grimes, fresh off his 2026 Austrian Oak victory, continued his strong season with a runner-up finish, while John Jewett brought his trademark conditioning and muscular detail to secure third place.
Elsewhere, Marco Ruz won 212 Bodybuilding, Mohammad Ali took Classic Physique, and Paul Gustave claimed Men’s Physique. Anna Terzo, Michaela Pavleova, Lena Ramsteiner, Nadia Bao Bonnie Aung, Lenka Ferencukova, Lisa Meiswinkel, and Sarah Terzenbach rounded out the division winners.
