The Olympia decides ten pro titles. Each division judges a different physique.
Men’s Open
The heaviest and most famous division, with no weight limit. Its Olympia winner is Mr. Olympia. 2026: Nick Walker.
Classic Physique
Added to the Olympia in 2016, Classic Physique rewards a golden-era look of aesthetics and proportion, with weight limits tied to height. 2026: Niall Darwen.
212
Full bodybuilding judging for competitors at or under 212 pounds. 2026: Keone Pearson.
Men’s Physique
Competitors pose in board shorts, and judging focuses on the upper body, shoulders and V-taper rather than leg size. 2026: Ryan Terry.
Women’s divisions
Women’s Bodybuilding (Ms. Olympia, 2026: Andrea Shaw), Women’s Physique (Natalia Abraham Coelho), Figure (Lola Montez), Bikini (Jasmine Gonzalez), Wellness (Eduarda Bezerra) and Fitness (Michelle Fredua-Mensah) each set their own standards, from muscularity to athleticism and stage presentation.
