2025 DC Pro Final Results

[Bodybuilding News]

The 2025 DC Pro, hosted in Manassas, Virginia, marked a pivotal stop on the IFBB Pro League calendar. Held on June 7th, this Olympia qualifier featured elite talent from both the Men’s Physique and Bikini divisions. Two standouts emerged with unmatched form and undeniable presence: Diogo Basaglia and Tara Grier, both punching their tickets to the 2025 Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas.

Men’s Physique Recap: Diogo Basaglia Dominates With Elite Conditioning​

Winner: Diogo Basaglia Basaglia delivered a textbook Men’s Physique package: full pecs, a sharp v-taper, and incredibly crisp back detail. His lat insertions, oblique taper, and confident posing set him apart from the rest of the lineup. His stage control and symmetry have improved dramatically since his last outing, and this win puts him in the conversation for a Top 10 Olympia placing.

Top 10 Men’s Physique Results:

Place	Athlete
1	Diogo Basaglia
2	John Sarmiento
3	Hygor Ponchet
4	Julian Smith
5	Jordan Clark
6	Michael Augustino
7	Mike Mayers
8	Vinicius Mateus
9	Derek Avery
10	Billy Merz

Key Takeaways:

• John Sarmiento presented a refined look with improved arms and midsection but lacked the overall density of Basaglia.
• Hygor Ponchet was a surprise standout, showing promise with dense shoulders and a tight waist but needs refinement in back detail.

Bikini Division Analysis: Tara Grier Shines With Flawless Lines and Presence​

Winner: Tara Grier Tara brought a polished, confident, and complete Bikini look — full glutes, tight core, and graceful transitions. Her balance between muscularity and femininity, combined with her posing, gave her a definitive edge. Tara's win is no fluke — she’s emerging as a potential threat to established Olympia names.

Top 10 Bikini Results:

Place	Athlete
1	Tara Grier
2	Chyna Melton
3	Alessia Facchin
4	Gavi Soni
5	Nathalia Allende
6	Nikki Lagorio
7	Marissa Willmott
8	Leah Walter
9	Lauren Kralovec
10	Hana Devore

Notable Competitors:

• Chyna Melton came razor-close with flawless glute-ham tie-ins and tight stage control.
• Alessia Facchin brought an improved look from her previous showings but still needs more roundness in her upper body.

Olympia Implications: Can They Compete With the Elite?​

Both Basaglia and Grier have shown Olympia-worthy potential. Basaglia’s upper body development and lower back detail match what judges reward at the Olympia level. Grier, meanwhile, has the aesthetic and presence that could shake up the Bikini Top 10 in Las Vegas.

Their success at DC Pro sends a loud message: they’re not just qualifiers — they’re contenders.

​

Event Summary and Judging Trends​

• Judges favored complete packages with detail over pure size in both divisions.
• Conditioning remains king, especially in the Men’s Physique back shots and Bikini glute-ham tie-ins.
• Presentation, posing flow, and charisma continue to separate winners from the rest in subjective categories like Bikini.

Final Thoughts: Rising Threats to Watch​

As the road to Olympia 2025 heats up, Diogo and Tara represent a new wave of hungry athletes bringing both aesthetics and stage savvy. The DC Pro proved that no title is safe, and veterans will have to take notice of these new contenders.
