Men’s Physique Athletes to Watch
Below are three athletes likely to contend for the title:
George Brown
Brown has been competing in the pro ranks since 2013. He’s won eight pro shows. He has competed on the Olympia stage eight times — his highest finish was sixth in 2016.
Brown’s most recent Olympia appearance was in 2022, when he finished outside the top 15. After taking the 2023 season off, Brown competed in the 2024 Charlotte Pro to a fourth-place. The success and experience make him an early favorite in this contest.
Dustin Alvis
Dustin Alvis ranked fifth in the 2023 St. Louis Pro. He’s earned second place twice this season at the 2024 Charlotte Pro and 2024 Wasatch Warrior Pro. Alvis is in his second pro season and looking for his first pro win.
As Alvis gains more experience and confidence, he’ll show better onstage. This may be the contest where he finally clears his last hurdle and scores the gold.
Hossein Karimi
Iran’s Hossein Karimi is in his third pro season. He already has Olympia experience, finishing outside the top 15 in 2022. He has three pro shows under his belt in 2024. His highest finish was third at the 2024 Tri-City Pro won by Clarence McSpadden.
