Athletes to Watch
Three men go into the show as early favorites to take the top spots in the show.
Jeremiah Willies
Jeremiah Willies is the defending champion. His most recent show was the 2025 Arnold Classic Physique event in Columbus, OH, where he placed eighth.
Willies competed in the 2024 Classic Physique Olympia, finishing outside the top 15. He showed improvements from the Olympia to the Arnold Classic but will need to be as good or even better to defend his title successfully.
Mahdi Parvani
Mahdi Parvani most recently competed at the 2024 AGP Classic Physique Pro show in May 2024, to a fourth-place rank behind champion MIkhail Timoshin. Parvani took the rest of the year off to make improvements, and this will be his first time stepping back onstage. He seeks his first pro win and Olympia qualification.
Luc Andre Steinker
This will be Luc Andre Steinker’s IFBB Professional League debut. He earned his pro card at the 2023 Amateur Olympia Italy contest but took the 2024 season off.
Fans in Europe feel he can make an impact immediately since he is known for his posing. He traveled to the United States early to finish his prep and get acclimated to the climate, a sign that he left no stone unturned during prep.
