Athletes to Watch
Watch for these three men to be among those in the first callout competing for the win.
Alessandro Cavagnola
Alessandro Cavagnola won the 2024 ProMuscle Italy Pro and the 2024 Europa Pro, which set him up for the 2024 Men’s Physique Olympia in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 10-13, 2024. If he were to win this show, then he could take an extended offseason after the 2024 Olympia and still be set to compete in 2025.
Riccardo Croci
Croci is no stranger to earning Olympia qualifications early. His win at the 2023 British Championships Pro made him among the first to qualify for the 2024 Olympia. His strategy could work again if he can hold off Cavagnola, who is on a two-show winning streak.
Burak King
Burak King’s most recent Olympian appearance was in 2022 when he tied for 16th place. He could not qualify for the 2024 Olympia but has a solid opportunity to do so if he is at his best.
