Young German Bodybuilder Wins Mr. Olympia 2024 Qualification After Recent IFBB Pro Win

The Classic Physique division is one of the most competitive categories on the Mr. Olympia stage, and with each Pro Show, the lineup seems to be getting more interesting. This time, German bodybuilder Luca Reger has secured his spot at the Olympia after winning a pro show. 

Reger lifted the German Classic Pro show title for the first time on May 25 and secured his spot on the Olympia stage. This marks the addition of another German bodybuilder to the Classic Physique, aside from the top competitor, Urs Kalecinski. However, the road to his success was not as easy as one might think. Reger has made a lot of improvements over the years.

The German bodybuilder started his pro bodybuilding journey back in 2022, competing in the NPC Worldwide South German Cup and winning the show. He then did a series of shows and secured good positions. Even at the German Classic Pro, he won after a tough competition that made things difficult for the judges as well. It finally came down to the last two, Reger and another German bodybuilder, Alexander Westermeier.

Westermeier emerged as the runner-up, and Spanish bodybuilder Ferran Minana Ibanez secured third place. Reger seems to be in high spirits after securing his qualification for the Olympia as seen in his recent Instagram post which he captioned, “SEE YOU IN VEGAS O.” 

The young bodybuilder won his Pro Card back in 2023, winning the NPC Worldwide Olympia Amateur Italy with his exceptional physique. Appreciating the fact that one of his countrymen had qualified for the Mr. Olympia, Urs Kalecinski also congratulated Reger, and wrote, “Very strong! Congratulations & welcome to the pro league,” in the comments.

Earlier, a Dominican bodybuilder had also booked his place for the Classic Physique category at the Olympia stage.
