Athletes to Watch
The three early favorites to contend for the win are listed below.
Jeffrey Darko
Jeffrey Darko is already qualified for the 2025 Olympia thanks to his win at the 2025 Everest Muscle Games Pro. If he wins this contest, he blocks a rival from qualifying. Even if he loses, his qualification is safe.
Lucas Lage
Lucas Lage is in his fifth season at the pro level. He has slowly climbed the ranks but has yet to win a pro show. He is coming off a fifth-place finish at the 2025 Euro Muscle Pro Show, his third pro contest of 2025.
Isaac Francis
Issac Francis is one of the host country’s athletes. He enters with momentum after earning silver at the 2025 Euro Muscle Pro Show. The fourth-year pro’s first career win is within his grasp, and he has taken feedback from the judges at his last contest, hoping to improve for this one.
Other Notes
Four more Men’s Physique Olympia qualifiers occur on the same weekend. Those events include the 2025 Chicago Pro, the Taiwan Pro, the Musclecontest Brazil Pro, and the Gomeisa Ultimate Battle Pro Medellin show.
