Anastasia Korableva delivered a commanding victory at the 2026 Alina Popa Classic Pro, winning the IFBB Pro League Women’s Bodybuilding title in Bucharest, Romania, on August 30.
Competing in her adopted home country, the Russian powerhouse finished with a perfect judging score of 3.
Alida Opre placed second with 7 points, while Nadia Capotosto completed the podium with 8.
A decisive victory for Anastasia Korableva
The scorecard leaves no doubt about the strength of Korableva’s performance. Her three-point total represents unanimous first-place scores from the judging panel, giving her a four-point advantage over the runner-up in the seven-athlete field.
It was a powerful result on a stage with special significance. The Alina Popa Classic brings professional Women’s Bodybuilding to Bucharest under the name of one of Romania’s most accomplished bodybuilders, and the 2026 edition gave Korableva the opportunity to win in front of a Romanian audience.
Her combination of muscular development, balance, conditioning and presentation held the clear advantage through the comparisons. The victory adds another major professional title to her record as she moves toward the 2026 Ms Olympia, for which she had already qualified through her 2025 Romania Muscle Fest Pro championship.
Alida Opre takes a strong second
Alida Opre continued a productive 2026 campaign with the runner-up finish. The Hungarian athlete arrived in Bucharest after winning the Lenda Murray Atlanta Pro Supershow and placing second at both the Tampa Pro and Mr. Big Evolution Portugal Pro earlier in the season.
Her 7-point total kept her one point ahead of third place and secured another top-two result in a season that has established her as a consistent presence near the front of major Women’s Bodybuilding lineups.
Nadia Capotosto completes the podium
Nadia Capotosto finished third, only one point behind the runner-up. The Italian’s 8-point score placed her firmly inside the leading group and added another podium result to her season.
On my personal opinion, Nadia deserved a better placing at this show, especially bringing a very hard condition, great flow and size.
She is going to be back on stage at the 2026 Miss Olympia, with a chance to show the world what she’s got and climb the world’s best ranking,
