Below are athletes to pay attention to in the Men’s Physique contest who could contend for the podium:
Josh Bridgman
This is Bridgman’s second time competing in this contest — he ranked sixth overall in 2022. Bridgman is aiming to secure his first pro victory and Olympia qualification. He has placed as high as second in his young career at the 2022 Vancouver Pro.
Piotr Borecki
Borecki is from Poland, and this will be his Men’s Physique debut. He has competed in the 212 before and even won the 2021 Puerto Rico Pro 212 title. He placed out of the top 15 at the Olympia that year, and he took the 2022 season off. He started his pro career in Classic Physique, having made it to the Olympia in that division in 2019. He tied for 16th in that contest.
Alessandro Cavagnola
Cavagnola was the 2021 Romania Muscle Fest Pro Men’s Physique champion, which led him to the 2022 Olympia stage. He placed 16th at that event in Las Vegas, NV, but winning here would earn him qualification for the 2023 contest and give him seven months to prepare for the big stage.

Below are the Bikini competitors who are the frontrunners heading into the contest for a podium position:
Priscila Leimbacher
Leimbacher has already competed once this year — placing sixth at the Klash Series Pro. She has been on the Olympia stage before, having placed 13th in 2019. She was the 2019 Pittsburgh Pro winner as well.
Noora Mahonen
Finland’s Noora Mahonen has won two pro contests in her five-year career, but she hasn’t won a show since 2019 when she placed first at the 2019 Romania Muscle Fest Pro. If she wins, she will make her first Olympia appearance since 2020.
Eszter Oczella
Oczella is the only other athlete in this lineup with Olympia experience, having competed in the 2022 Bikini Olympia, where she placed out of the top 15. If she were to win in the UK, it would be her first pro victory in 11 shows. She was the runner-up in this contest to Laura Ziv in 2022.
