The show ran no masters classes. Every placing is on the 2026 Moscow Showdown Pro: Full Scorecards & Placings page.
Classic Physique and Wellness run on points. The 2027 Olympia qualification period opened on August 31, 2026, and the top 20 in each division’s standings qualify when it closes on September 12, 2027. Two wins in open (non-masters) classes inside that window also earn a place. Omel’chenko’s two earlier wins came before the window opened, so this one does not qualify him on its own. It puts 10 points on his 2027 Classic Physique total, and Machado’s win puts 10 points on her Wellness total. Our 2027 Olympia qualified athletes list tracks who is in and who is close.
For the 2024 edition, which ran only a Bikini class, see the 2024 Moscow Showdown Pro.
