In the event’s second occurance, Mattos won her second title.
Written by Chris Colucci
The Wellness Olympia was introduced to the stage in 2021, where Francielle Mattos won the inaugural event. The 2022 edition saw an expanded field, not only in terms of competitors — growing from 20 contestants to 38 — but also in terms of the contest format, now having a second round of judging for competitors to work through.
2022 Wellness Olympia Results
These are the top five Wellness Olympia competitors of 2022, with their respective earnings.
- Francielle Mattos ($50,000)
- Isabel Nunes ($20,000)
- Angela Borges ($12,000)
- Kassandra Gillis ($7,000)
- Rayane de Souza Santana ($6,000)
Mattos continued her Wellness Olympia wins and, as the event commentators mentioned, may be playing a part in determining the “ideal” physique judges look for in future contests because the division is relatively young and Mattos is taking the early charge ahead.
The final comparisons were called out in two groups before determining the eventual placings.
Comparison 1
- Leonida Ciobu
- Yarishina Ayala
- Marissa Andrews
- Rayane Fogal de Souza Santana
- Giselle Machado
- Bruna Seredich
Comparison 2
