Men’s Open Athletes to Watch

No athlete in the Men’s Open lineup has qualified for the 2025 Olympia going into the show. The three early favorites are below:

Akim Williams

Akim Williams was 10th at the 2024 Mr. Olympia contest in Las Vegas, NV, on Oct. 12, 2024. Samson Dauda became the 19th Mr. Olympia at that event. Williams most recently competed at the Romania Muscle Fest Pro on Nov. 10, 2024, where he placed second to Rafael Brandao.

Andrea Presti

Presti has Olympia experience, but he was not in the 2024 Olympia. The three-time Mr. Big Evolution Pro winner was eighth at the 2024 Prague Pro but was not at his best in that show.

Presti can give Williams a run for his money if he shows up in Spain as he had when he three-peated the Mr. Big Evolution Pro in 2023. 

Marcello Horse

Marcello Horse, also known as “Horse MD,” is a rising star in the division but is looking for his first pro win. He was fifth in Prague and could be in the top three at this show.
