The second Wellness Olympia is a very competitive contest. The inaugural champion is Francielle Mattos, but she was met with multiple challengers to her title in the prejudging round of the 2022 Olympia. Angela Borges, who was runner-up one year ago, and Isabelle Nunes both want to hear “and new” at the end of their contest.
Rayana Santana, Kassandra Gillis, and Gisele Machado were also in the final callout, which was a seventh of the contest. The focus shifted to the finals, where individual posing routines were performed before a winner was crowned.
