Mudbi Favors won Classic Physique at the 2026 Hurricane Pro in St. Petersburg, Florida, on October 17, taking his first pro win from a lineup of 25, the biggest class of the night. Alexander Toplyn won Men’s Physique, Jeanne Kassel won Figure and Roxana Marquez won Bikini, and Kassel and Marquez both qualified for the 2027 Olympia.
Classic Physique
Justin Badurina, who won this class in 2024 and 2025, did not compete. Daniel Fabode placed second, as he did at the Dominican Republic Pro in September, and Dominic Carter was third, two weeks after he took third at the Southern Muscle Showdown Pro.
Men’s Physique
Toplyn won from a lineup of 22 for his first pro win since the 2024 Optimum Classic Pro. He had finished in the top four at each of his five previous shows, starting with the Tournament of Champions Pro on September 5, most recently second at the Pharlabs Mexico Pro. Emile Walker of the United Kingdom placed second, one spot higher than he finished here in 2025. He had won the Ace of Stage Pro and the EVLS Prague Pro on the previous two weekends and competed at the 2026 Men’s Physique Olympia. Deandre Johnson was third.
Figure
Kassel of Germany won from a lineup of 14 for her fourth pro win of 2026, after the Puerto Rico Pro and the Battle of the Bodies Pro, both in April, and the New York Pro in May. She had placed second at the Balkan Grand Prix Pro and the EVLS Prague Pro on the previous two weekends. Lauren Calderoni, who won the Houston Pro in August and placed seventh here in 2025, was second, and Jasmine Shier was third. Kassel and Calderoni both competed at the 2026 Figure Olympia in September.
Bikini
Marquez of Mexico won from a lineup of 11 in her third show in three weekends, after second places at the Pharlabs Mexico Pro on October 4 and the Ultimate Warriors Pro on October 10. It is her second win since the 2027 qualification period opened, after the Dominican Republic Pro in September. Iulia Baba of Romania, who won the St. Pete Pro in the same city in June and competed at the 2026 Bikini Olympia, placed second, up from third here in 2025. Taylor Crowell was third.
The show also ran masters classes in Men’s Bodybuilding (40+ to 70+), 212 (40+), and Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Figure and Bikini (each 40+ to 60+). Every placing is on the 2026 Hurricane Pro: Full Scorecards & Placings page.
What It Means for the 2027 Olympia
In Figure, every pro show winner earns a 2027 Olympia spot, so Kassel is in with this win. Her three earlier 2026 wins came before the 2027 qualification period opened on August 31, so they do not count toward it. Bikini, Classic Physique and Men’s Physique run on points, and the top 20 in the standings qualify when the period closes, but two wins in open (non-masters) classes during the period also earn a place. Marquez now has two, the Dominican Republic Pro and this one, so she qualifies under the two-win rule; she led the Bikini points race on 18 before this show. Favors earns 10 points in Classic Physique, and Toplyn adds 10 to the 15 he held in the Men’s Physique standings. Our 2027 Olympia qualified athletes list tracks who is in and who is close.
