212 Bodybuilding Athletes to Watch
Before this show, no athlete in the 212 contest had qualified for the 2025 Olympia, but these three are among the most likely to do so.
Sung Yeop Jang
Sung Yeop Jang was second to Kerrith Bajjo at the 2024 Japan Pro on Nov. 24, 2024. Bajjo was fourth at the 2024 212 Olympia in Las Vegas, NV. Jang placing second to an athlete of that caliber could be a confidence booster for him going into this show.
En Zhou
En Zhou was sixth at the 2024 Japan Pro, his pro debut. He turned pro at the 2023 NPC Worldwide Amateur Olympia Japan contest. Now that he has experience on a pro stage, he may be able to place higher in a lineup that includes other contenders with limited pro experience.
Hao Jiang
Hao Jiang was fifth at the 2024 China DMS Changsha Pro and sixth at the 2024 Drogan Physique DMS Pro as a Classic Physique competitor. This will be his debut in the 212 division.
