Key Athletes to Watch​

Hassan Mostafa​

Hassan Mostafa from Egypt is a key contender in the Men’s Open division. With a sixth-place finish at the 2024 Toronto Pro Supershow and a previous victory at the 2023 Vancouver Pro, Mostafa remains a formidable competitor. His prior success at the Chicago Pro in 2021, where he placed sixth, highlights his potential for a strong comeback.

Tim Budesheim​

Tim Budesheim, competing in his fifth show of the year, is a notable figure in the Men’s Open division. His recent second-place finish at the 2024 Vancouver Pro demonstrates his competitive edge. Budesheim, who placed fourth at the 2022 Chicago Pro, is a strong contender for the top spot.

Nathan Epler​

Nathan Epler, transitioning from the 212 division, brings significant experience to the Men’s Open division. As a past winner of the 2021 New York Pro and a fifth-place finisher at that year's Olympia, Epler's move up in weight class will be closely watched.
