Detroit Pro: Foda’s step up
At the 2026 Detroit Pro, Foda showed marked improvement — a promising follow‑up to finishing seventh at the Arnold Classic and a sign he’s closing gaps with the top pros. Observers see his Detroit outing as evidence of rising competitiveness on the pro bodybuilding circuit [].
Mohamed Foda won ((fitnessvolt.com)) the Men’s Open at the 2026 Detroit Pro on March 14, with the show staged at the Dearborn Performing Arts Center in the Detroit metro area ((musclemecca.com)). The Detroit victory earned Foda an automatic qualification spot for the 2026 Mr. Olympia under the event’s status as an official IFBB Pro League Olympia qualifier ((generationiron.com)). According to the published scorecards, Foda finished the night with a six-point total and edged Belgium’s Blessing Awodibu into second place on the Men’s Open card ((musclemecca.com)). The Men’s Open top placements at Detroit listed Foda first, Blessing Awodibu second, Elias McCall third, Patrick Moore fourth and Christopher Miller fifth on the official results rundown ((musclemecca.com)). On the same card, Wesley Vissers captured the Classic Physique title at Detroit, adding to his early‑season résumé after also taking the Arnold Classic Classic Physique crown earlier in the month ((fitnessvolt.com)). With Joe Weider’s Olympia Weekend scheduled Sept. 24–27, 2026 in Las Vegas and the IFBB’s 2026 Olympia qualification window closing Aug. 30, Foda’s Detroit win secures him on the official qualified list months before the final cutoff ((mrolympia.com)).
