[Bodybuilding News]

The 2025 Emerald Cup Natural Pro, held on May 3, 2025 in Bellevue, Washington, was a crucial stop on the IFBB Pro League’s Olympia qualification calendar. As one of the standout events of the natural division season, it featured fierce competition in Men’s Physique and Women’s Fitness, with only one Olympia qualification spot available per division. Let’s dive deep into the results, performance analysis, and what this means heading into the 2025 Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas.

Men’s Physique: Cordeus Anderson Claims Victory and Olympia Spot​

Cordeus Anderson brought undeniable symmetry, crisp lines, and stage confidence that dominated both the prejudging and finals rounds. After multiple near-wins earlier in the 2025 season, Anderson finally dialed it in—earning his Olympia qualification and stamping his name among the elite headed to Las Vegas this October.

Top 4 Men’s Physique Placings:​

Rank	Name	Country
1	Cordeus Anderson	USA
2	Peijie Yu	China
3	David Odom	USA
	Eun Chong Choi	Korea

Anderson's key improvements came in the form of enhanced midsection control, posing flow, and overall fullness, which gave him the edge over Peijie Yu, who presented impressive shape but lacked the same level of muscular maturity.

Women’s Fitness: Andrea Glass Nails Her Routine​

The Women’s Fitness division saw a smaller lineup, but no shortage of intensity. With only two competitors—Andrea Glass and Amanda Ciani—the stakes were high. Glass separated herself with a seamless fitness routine and superior stage conditioning, locking in her first-ever Olympia qualification.

Final Standings – Women’s Fitness:​

Rank	Name	Highlights
1	Andrea Glass	Flawless routine, exceptional conditioning
2	Amanda Ciani	Good stage presence, but routine lacked intensity

Glass’s energy and transitions brought a professional polish that overwhelmed the slightly less-polished routine of Ciani. With this win, Glass earns a spot at the Olympia Fitness division—ready to challenge the sport's titans.
