Men’s Physique Athletes to Watch
Contention for the top of the podium will likely include the following athletes:
Gantulga Altankhuyag
Gantulga Altankhuyag is coming off a third-place finish at the 2024 Asia Grand Prix (AGP) Pro Men’s Physique Pro on Apr. 27, 2024, won by Yoon Sung Lee. Altankhuyag was only competing in his second pro show when he took the stage at that event.
Being close to contest shape and having an added show’s worth of experience can serve Altankhuyag well at this contest. At this contest, he aims to earn his first pro win and Olympia qualification.
Jinbo Li
Jinbo Li was the runner-up in that AGP Pro show. He won the 2022 Japan Pro. That winning experience could serve him well in a smaller lineup with several pros who have not yet tasted gold. He is considered a top contender in this lineup.
Yiming Wei
The third-place finisher of the 2024 China DMS Pro is also entering this contest. Yiming Wei scored his third top-three finish in his three-year pro career at that show on Friday, Mar. 1, 2024, but he still needs a pro win if he wants to walk on the Olympia stage.
If he wins, Yiming Wei will be the third Chinese athlete to qualify for the 2024 Men’s Physique Olympia.
Other Notes
This is one of two shows to host a Men’s Physique this weekend. The other is the 2024 Pittsburgh Pro in Pittsburgh, PA.
