Men’s Open Athletes to Watch
Fans anticipate the Men’s Open lineup with the following three contenders to pose for the win:
Rubiel Mosquera
“Neckzilla” has a big fan base, but he has been unable to win a pro show. He recently ranked sixth at the 2025 Dubai Pro.
Andrea Presti
Andrea Presti won silver at the 2025 Huanji China Pro Beijing contest. He has won three pro shows but has not been on the Olympia stage since 2023.
If Presti and Mosquera are the top two, it will be a tough call for the judges. Presti may have the shape and symmetry advantage, but Mosquera has improved his conditioning.
Antoine Loth
Antoine Loth ranked fifth at the 2025 Dubai Pro. Most fans may know him from his time in Classic Physique, when he competed at the 2023 Classic Physique Olympia, but missed the top 15.
If Loth added size without affecting the shape and symmetry that helped him in his previous division, he could threaten to win this show.
