Great showing across every division—congrats to all competitors who hit the Alicante stage at this year’s Empro Classic Pro!

 

[MuscleMecca Crew]

The 2025 Empro Classic in Alicante, Spain, delivered a nine-division spectacle that reshaped the early Olympia qualification landscape. We witnessed Sasan Heirati headline the Men’s Open, while eight additional athletes—from Mustafa Yildiz in Classic Physique to Danai Theodoropoulou in Wellness—punched their tickets to Las Vegas.

Men’s Open Bodybuilding — Sasan Heirati Extends His Streak​

Place	Athlete	Country	Notable Strengths	Olympia Status
1	Sasan Heirati	United Kingdom	Dense muscle maturity, detailed hamstrings, polished presentation	Qualified
2	Angel Calderon Frias	Spain	Round delts, compact structure, crowd energy	Points race
3	Justin Musiol	Germany	Flowing lines, flaring lats	Points race
4	Kasozi Brian Drago	Netherlands	Upper-body width, quads	Points race
5	Antoine Loth	Spain	Silhouette, midsection control	Points race

Heirati’s sharper mid-back density compared to his Toronto showing one week prior underscored an improved peaking strategy, while Calderon’s trademark thickness fell short in lower-back detail.

Classic Physique — Mustafa Yildiz Unanimous in Aesthetics​

Place	Athlete	Nation	Key Highlights
1	Mustafa Yildiz	Turkey	Classic vacuum, razor-sharp abs, balanced leg sweep
2	German Pastor	Spain	V-taper, deep side-chest shot
3	Valeri Enchev	Bulgaria	Crisp conditioning, tight waist

Yildiz’s tapered torso and seamless transitions created a unanimous decision, setting up an anticipated Olympia rematch with Breon Ansley and Ramon Dino.

Men’s Physique — Mauro Fialho Out-Angles the Field​

Place	Athlete	Country	Stage Edge
1	Mauro Fialho	Spain	Clean lines, confident turns, hard serratus
2	Matheus Oliveira	Brazil	Tall framework, capped delts
3	Igor Williams	Spain	Tight midsection, polished posing

Fialho’s lat-flare and waist-to-shoulder ratio secured a decisive home-soil win.

Wheelchair Bodybuilding — Gabriele Andriulli’s Dominance Continues​

1. Gabriele Andriulli
2. Blake Colleton
3. Oscar Gonzalez Gil
4. Jan Povysil

Andriulli’s refined symmetry and arm density reaffirm his position as the man to beat in October.

Women’s Bodybuilding — Martina Lopez Combines Size and Shape​

1. Martina Lopez
2. Romana Skotzen
3. Elizaveta Starchenko
4. Jozeffa Alajahji

Lopez’s sweeping quads and balanced shoulders edged veteran Skotzen on overall proportions.

Figure — Denise Zwinger-Tynek’s Precision Wins​

Place	Athlete	Nation
1	Denise Zwinger-Tynek	Germany
2	Vanessa Happle	Germany
3	Anna Koka	Ukraine
4	Celia Tunon	Spain
5	Snezhana Vlahova	Bulgaria

Zwinger-Tynek’s flowing lines and minute-by-minute stage poise separated her from Happle in the quarter turns.

Bikini — Ivi Escandar Captures International Spotlight​

Rank	Athlete	Country
1	Ivi Escandar	USA
2	Lisa Reith	Germany
3	Gulsah Gorgulu	Turkey
4	Rukiye Solak	Turkey
5	Kirsty Taylor	United Kingdom
6	Carina Helander	Sweden
7	Ester Sala	Spain
8	Kateryna Spievakova	Ukraine
9	Aneta Szoltysek	Poland
10	Liliana Sakhanova	Sweden

Escandar’s balanced glute-ham tie-in and magnetic charisma pushed her clear of Reith in a tightly contested comparison round.

Women’s Physique — Birgit Andersch’s Symmetry Shines​

1. Birgit Andersch
2. Julia Glazycheva
3. Paula Ranta
4. Sanna Nupponen
5. Kerstin Telker
6. Yasmina Gouaich
7. Marina Kassinopoullou
8. Mar Ruiz
9. Anshul Bhardwaj

Andersch’s tapered midsection and sharp conditioning, particularly from the back, resonated with judges.

Wellness — Danai Theodoropoulou Rules Lower-Body Dominance​

1. Danai Theodoropoulou
2. Catarina De Sousa
3. Chery Figueroa Calix
4. Sara Pereira
5. Ana Maria Amante Gregorio
6. Mirtha Perez
7. Sara Bianca
8. Catia Moreira
9. Davina Salaberry
10. Paula Fernandez

Theodoropoulou’s dense glutes and confident walk delivered a clear edge, rounding out the champion roster.

Olympia Point Standings and Season Implications​

Eight fresh names join the 2025 Olympia roster, while perennial contenders—Calderon, Pastor, Oliveira—add valuable points toward qualification. Momentum from an early-season win often predicts top-six Olympia placements; Heirati’s back-to-back victories mirror Samson Dauda’s 2023 run, suggesting a legitimate threat to the reigning champion later this year.

Training and Peaking Trends Observed in Alicante​

• Tighter Waists Across Divisions: Athletes prioritized vacuums and midsection control, signaling a shift toward aesthetics.
• Enhanced Lower-Body Detailing: From Lopez in Women’s Bodybuilding to Theodoropoulou in Wellness, quad separation and hamstring tie-ins stole the show.
• Strategic Show Scheduling: Competitors leveraged back-to-back European events (Toronto → Alicante) to secure early Olympia spots.
