“Best Midsection in the IFBB”: Bodybuilding Community Lauds Ramon Dino Showing Respect to Champ Chris Bumstead in Video From 2023 Mr. Olympia

Brazilian bodybuilder Ramon ‘Dino’ Rocha Queiroz, has established himself as the biggest challenger for reigning champion Chris Bumstead. While the King of Classic Physique has other challengers to his crown, Ramon Dino has pushed the Canadian bodybuilding icon to do better. However, that doesn’t mean Dino is an arrogant challenger.

In a video from the 2023 Olympia, Dino can be seen showing respect to the champion. At this year’s Olympia, Dino closed the gap with Cbum further. However, Bumstead cliched the title to become a five-time Classic Physique Olympia. Fans noticed the Brazilian’s actions on the video and couldn’t help but admire the 28-year-old competitor.

Humble in defeat

Earlier, the Olympia LLC. Instagram handle posted a short recap from the Classic Phyqiue event at this year’s Olympia. The page announced their 2023 Olympia replay series with the video. The clip showed the moment when Bob Cicherillo announced the winner of the 2023 Classic Physique Olympia title.

However, even before the Voice of The Olympia announced Cbum’s name, Dino understood he hadn’t done enough to dethrone the champion. The Brazilian started clapping right before Cicherillo uttered Bumstead’s name. Dino’s display of respect for his rival didn’t go unnoticed by the fans. They lauded the Arnold Classic 2023 champion. The bodybuilding community also voiced their opinion of Ramon Dino’s future in the Classic Physique division.

The bodybuilding community believes Dino’s time is coming

Bodybuilding fans not only praised Dino for his humble nature but also proclaimed him as the future of the division. “Ramon clapped for him before everyone… He’s a gentleman. Hope he wins it one day,” wrote one fan. Others were confident that Brazilain’s time as champion would come sooner rather than later. “Next year Olmpiya champ,” commented one fan.

Another fan thought the 28-year-old showed up in even better shape than last year. “Ramon was so close this year,” the Instagram user wrote. One fan said, “Ramon just standing there with the best midsection in the IFBB.” Besides Dino and Cbum, a former Classic Physique Olympia champion featured in the video. “Breon (Ansley) doesn’t look happy,” wrote one fan.

Despite winning the Classic Physique title for two years consecutively, Breon Ansley has struggled to replicate his success. This year, the former champion placed fourth behind Cbum’s other rival, Urs Kalecinski. While the Classic Physique division remains stacked, it’s clear that Dino and Cbum have elevated the division.
