Athletes to Watch
Reigning champion Burat Sologub is not in the 2025 lineup. The three early favorites are:
Piotr Borecki
Piotr Borecky has thrice been on the Olympia stage in Classic Physique and the 212 division. His most recent Olympia appearance was in 2023, where he placed 15th in the 212 Olympia. He ranked second at the 2025 Kokeny Classic Hungary Pro on May 10.
Mazin Al Rahbi
This is Mazin Al Rahbi’s first onstage appearance since the 2023 Saudi Arabia Pro, where he won silver behind winner Ahmad Ashkanani. Al Rahbi qualified for the 2023 Olympia but did not compete.
Soohyun Park
Soohyun Park earned silver in this contest one year ago. He seeks his first pro win and Olympia qualification. With Sologub out of the lineup, this may be his best chance yet to claim gold.
Other Notes
A second 212 division contest will be held at the 2025 Euro Muscle Show in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on July 12-13. That contest will also serve as a 2025 212 Olympia qualifier.
