The Classic Physique Olympia finals took place at 6:00 pm (PDT) inside the packed Orleans Arena. After one of the closest shows of the night, <strong>Niall Darwen walked away with gold and a big cash prize on September 25.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Ramon Dino made history and became the <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2025-classic-physique-olympia-results\/\">first Brazilian Classic Physique Olympia winner<\/a>. He narrowly beat <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/mike-sommerfeld\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"mike-sommerfeld\">Mike Sommerfeld<\/a> by just one point on the scorecards. In the finals, it looked close between the two, with Dino seemingly getting harder as Steve Weinberger called for comparisons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sommerfeld looked improved from the <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2026-arnold-classic-uk-results\/\">Arnold Classic UK,<\/a> with fuller legs and a wider back. He successfully made the weight cap without issue this year, helping him focus on peaking instead of sitting in the sauna. <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/terrence-ruffin\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"terrence-ruffin\">Terrence Ruffin<\/a> fought to stay in contention with a flawless posing routine and brought up his triceps for better side shots.<\/p>\n<p>Vissers had bigger quads and didn\u2019t sacrifice muscle separation.\u00a0 The biggest surprise was Niall Darwen; his physique had an imposing presence onstage. After the judges pushed the competitors through multiple posing rounds, <strong>Niall Darwen<\/strong>\u00a0claimed first place. <strong>Mike Sommerfeld <\/strong>took second place, and <strong>Ramon Dino <\/strong>finished with bronze.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"fv-inline-newsletter-5\" class=\"fv-newsletter\" style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:8px;padding:30px 35px;margin:30px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.06);\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 15px;font-size:1.5em;font-weight:700;color:#222;\">Get Fitter, <em>Faster<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:1em;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.
