Winner — Regan Grimes
Grimes was coming off a fourth-place finish at the 2025 New York Pro, his 2025 season debut. It took a week longer than planned, but Grimes is locked in for the 2025 Olympia. He confirmed he will compete in Las Vegas — his first Olympia since 2023.
Second Place — Sasan Heirati
This was Heirati’s second runner-up finish of the season. He has until Sept. 14, 2025, to win a pro show to qualify for the 2025 Olympia. Only show winners advance to the big stage at this point in the season.
Third Place — Leandro Sencini Peres
Peres’ performance surprised the fans, but he showed that he can be a threat to win a contest if he steps onstage in the future. This is his rookie season at the pro level.
Standing onstage in callouts with an athlete at the level Grimes is, a top-10 Olympia competitor, is valuable experience.
Other Notes
The next Men’s Open show on the 2025 season schedule is the 2025 Legion Sports Fest Pro in Reno, NV, on May 31, 2025. It will also serve as a 2025 Olympia qualifier. The competitor list will be released on Monday evening, May 26.
