Cicherillo’s new post featured a short video where the bodybuilding champion addressed bodybuilding fans in Dubai and said, “The Dubai Pro bigger and better than ever 2024 June 22nd and 23rd.” He went on to add the fact that this time, the competition would feature a Men’s Bodybuilding Open event. He further added, “This is an Olympia qualifying event see you everybody there.”

The 2023 Dubai Pro show took place on Sept 24, with the three divisions being on display and competitors looking for a spot in Olympia 2023. The Olympia qualification systems had changed at the start of the year, and if an athlete did not finish in the top three in the previous year or the top 5 in the Men’s Open, they would have to win another show to qualify for Mr. Olympia. The point qualification system of the past will not be available anymore, with former Olympia winners having lifetime eligibility to participate in the competition.

As the bodybuilding world looks forward to the marquee event next year, the event is set to return to one of its major venues in 2024.
