The Open, Physique, and Classic Physique categories took center stage in Milan as the masters of muscle duked it out for a direct route to bodybuilding\u2019s most prestigious show.<\/p>\n

Who Won the 2026 Flex Weekend Italy Pro?<\/h2>\n

A complete breakdown of the Open, Men\u2019s Physique, and Classic Physique champions who earned Olympia qualification in Milan.<\/p>\n

Open Division Winner: Edward Kargbo<\/h3>\n

William Bonac had been a heavy favorite going into Italy because his momentum included first place at both the France and Spain Pro shows, but Kargbo\u2019s size and fullness could not be denied. \u201cOlympia bound,\u201d wrote the representative of Dubai on Instagram, after earning his first spot in a Mr. Olympia final, and pushing Bonac into second place, while Jordan Hutchinson reached third.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s Physique Winner: Sidy Pouye<\/h3>\n

Spain\u2019s Sidy Pouye did the double in Milan, repeating his Spain Pro victory with another first-place finish in Italy. Now he\u2019ll be hoping to surpass his best Olympia result, which was a twelfth-place finish in 2024.<\/a>\u00a0No doubt, Pouye\u2019s definition helped him stand out in the Italy Pro\u2019s most packed category, which had a whopping 36 entrants. In second place was Lollo Giachetti, with Jessy Pigury coming third.<\/p>\n

Classic Physique Winner: Luca Reger<\/h3>\n

Luca Regar also took a second victory in 2026<\/a>, and qualified for the Olympia after following up his-first place finish in Spain with a full physique and huge quads. In second place was Paulo Henrique, while Francesco Vedova made third.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake some time to appreciate what you have,\u201d commented the German champ via Instagram. \u201cI have the best support system I could ever ask for. Nothing would be possible without my team.\u201d Regar will not be working to improve on his 2024 and 2025 Olympia showings, however, as he is yet to crack the top 16.<\/p>\n

All three bodybuilders are now headed to bodybuilding\u2019s most prestigious show, the 2026 Mr. Olympia, set to take place between September 24\u201327 in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n
