Highlights from the 2026 Classic Physique Olympia prejudging.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 2026 Classic Physique Olympia<\/a> took center stage in Las Vegas with one of the most anticipated rematches of Olympia Weekend. Ramon Dino<\/a> enters as the reigning champion, but another loaded field will attempt to prevent the Brazilian star from successfully defending his title.<\/p>\n

Dino captured his first Classic Physique Olympia championship in 2025, officially beginning a new era in the division following the retirement of six-time champion Chris Bumstead<\/a>. His victory came over Mike Sommerfeld<\/a>, who finished runner-up for the second consecutive year and has spent the past year preparing for another opportunity at the title.<\/p>\n

Prejudging should give fans their first indication of whether the championship is headed toward another Dino-Sommerfeld showdown or if another contender can force his way into the title conversation.<\/p>\n
