PETITION APPROVED! NEW IFBB PRO WHEELCHAIR ATHLETE: KAIRO MARTINS!
Nick Scott (), Official NPC & IFBB Pro League Representative for the Wheelchair Division, petitioned on behalf of Kairo Martins to be granted his IFBB Pro Card and professional status.
The IFBB Professional League has officially reviewed and approved the petition for Kairo Martins following his victory at the 2026 Arnold Sports Festival South America in São Paulo, Brazil.
With only four athletes competing, just one short of the required five, Kairo still competed and earned the win with professionalism, presence, and hard work. The decision was reviewed and approved.
Kairo Martins is now officially an IFBB Pro.
This marks another important step forward for Wheelchair Bodybuilding and serves as a reminder that every athlete who competes on stage matters.
Let’s continue to grow and elevate the division.
