Men’s Physique Athletes to Watch

Below are three Men’s Physique athletes likely to contend for the top of the podium:

Alexander Toplyn

The Men’s Physique division has the most competitors (13) of any male division contest at this show. Alexander Toplyn is a favorite, thanks to his win at the 2024 Optimum Classic Pro in Shreveport, LA. That win qualified him for the 2024 Men’s Physique Olympia. So, if he wins this contest, no qualification will be awarded. 

Lovepreet Singh

This is Lovepreet Singh’s debut contest of the 2024 season, his sophomore year as a pro. He was most recently onstage at the 2023 District of Taiwan Pro, finishing third. He ranked fifth in the 2023 Sheru Classic.

Ajith Raja

Ajith Raja steps onstage for the third time this season. His most recent show was the Kim Junho Classic Pro, where he finished in fifth. Like Singh, Raja represents the host country. Raja is searching for his first pro win and Olympia qualification.
