The Physique round is one-third of the overall score in Fitness.
The 2024 Fitness Olympia is one of 11 world championship events held in Las Vegas, NV, on the weekend of Oct. 11-12, 2024. Twelve IFBB Professional League competitors entered this contest, which started on Friday morning, Oct. 11, in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The opening round is the physique round, which counts for one-third of the overall scores. Each athlete was introduced to the crowd in the following order:

Following the introductions and numerical comparisons, the judges started calling out the athletes in groups to determine whose physique was the best of the best. When studying the physiques, the judges looked for shape, symmetry, proportions, and definition. The callouts went as follows:
2023 Olympia runner-up Learmont had her share of fans cheering her on. However, the majority of the fans supported two-time winner Missy Truscott, who returned after suffering an injury during the 2023 contest.
The first and final callouts featured Truscott and Tamara Vahn in the center, meaning the judges considered them the best. Pre-judging (i.e., the Physique round) counts for one-third of the Fitness competitors’ scores. Truscott had great width and definition and appeared the overall favorite.
The Routine round, the final round of this competition, is part of the Friday night show at the Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas. Each athlete will put on the best performance possible because it counts for two-thirds of the overall score. That is also where we will see a new Olympia champion crowned.
