Maiki Ono

Maiki Ono is certainly one of the few athletes on this lineup with competition experience. He ranked fifth overall on the 2024 Los Angeles Grand Prix Pro, won by Aundre Benson.

Ono turned pro on the Arnold South America in 2019. This will likely be his first time competing in Brazil since 2022. He still seeks his first pro win and Olympia qualification.

Lucas Lage

Lucas Lage is a fourth-year pro who turned pro on the 2021 NPC Worldwide Amateur Olympia Brazil contest. He has regularly improved each season, along with his best placing being fifth on the 2023 Musclecontest International Mercosul Pro in December, won by Kaique Santos. This will likely be Lage’s 2024 competition debut.

Felipe Gonclaves

This will likely be Felipe Gonclaves’s IFBB Pro League debut. He was last onstage as an amateur on the 2023 NPC Worldwide Amateur Olympia Brazil contest, where he won the Class C group event.

Gonclaves has never competed outside of South America. If he wins his pro debut to qualify for the Olympia, he could be the twenty ninth Men’s Physique competitor to punch a ticket to Las Vegas.
