Men’s Open Athletes to Watch

The main event is the Men’s Open contest; these three contestants are among the favorites:

Brett Wilkin

Brett Wilkin qualified for the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest thanks to his win at the 2022 Big Man Weekend Pro but withdrew due to digestive health issues. He did not compete at all during the 2024 Olympia qualifying season. This will be his first onstage appearance since that 2022 victory.

Bruno Santos

Bruno Santos shocked many bodybuilding fans by winning the 2024 Europa Pro, qualifying him for the 2024 Mr. Olympia contest in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 11-12, 2024. This could be an opportunity to qualify for the 2025 competition early so he can enjoy an extended offseason after the 2024 contest in Las Vegas. 

Justin Rodriguez

Justin Rodriguez has competed on the Olympia stage three times, finishing as high as eighth in 2021. His most recent pro show was the 2024 Detroit Pro, where he finished fourth overall. He was third in the 2023 Legion Sports Fest Pro show, which Charles Griffin won.
