Winner — Michal “Krizo” Krizanek
Krizanek was ripped from top to bottom, and his legs were impressive from all sides. His definition and experience from past competitions paid off here, as he was the clear winner when they announced the first callouts in prejudging.
Now, Krizanek will have his opportunity to stand alongside two-time reigning Mr. Olympia Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, 2019 Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry, and the rest of the men’s open lineup when they face off at the 2022 Olympia Weekend on Dec. 16-18 in Las Vegas, NV.
Second Place — Jan Turek
This was Turek’s best placing as a pro thus far in his career. Turek looked great, but Krizanek had the size advantage, which was too much for him to overcome. He represented himself well here and could potentially jump in another show before the season cutoff date of November 20, 2022, if he wanted to qualify for the Olympia.
Third Place — Kokeny Bela
Bela had a lot of supporters in the crowd, and for good reason. He showed a lot of muscle density and had great posing. As with Turek, Krizanek was too impressive to be denied on this particular weekend. Bela could be a player to watch in 2023 because he showed he had the physique and potential to hold his own in a big-time lineup.
Other Division Winners
Six IFBB Pro League divisions were on display at this contest, and the final standings as of this writing are below. All winners will move on to the Olympia, while the second through fifth-place finishers earn Tier 4 points in the Olympia Qualification System.
