Bodybuilder Emerson Costa won on Sunday afternoon (20) the 2025 edition of the MuscleContest Brazil in the Men’s Physique category. With the title, the professional athlete secured his place for this year’s Olympia, which will take place from October 9 to 12 in Las Vegas, United States.
The victory came after he beat names like Dilson Espindola and Rodrigo Oliveira, who were, respectively, with the second and third place.
In an exclusive interview with the blog, Costa says that favoritism only tells before the competition: “Favoritism ends when we took the stage (…) I competed against very good athletes, but I knew it would come to be champion.”
“I came with as little flaws as possible (…) there are always points to improve, but I will arrive at Olympia in my 100%,” he concludes.
