Men’s Open Athletes to Watch
None of the Men’s Open athletes have qualified for the Olympia going into this event. These are the contenders to watch for:
Stuart Sutherland
Stuart Sutherland has been in the mix at several shows in his three pro seasons. He placed fourth in the 2024 New York Pro and 2024 California State Championships Pro. He is looking for his first pro win and Olympia qualification.
John Jewett
John Jewett was a two-time Olympia competitor in the 212 division but moved to the Open in 2023. He ranked third in the 2024 Toronto Pro Supershow, his only show of the 2024 season thus far. If he were to win in Abbotsford, he would qualify for the Mr. Olympia (Men’s Open) for the first time in his career.
Tim Budesheim
Tim Budesheim has competed three times in 2024. His best placing was fifth at the 2024 Toronto Pro Supershow. Budesheim has been a pro since 2017 but still seeks his first pro win. He finished as high as third twice in 2023.
Other Notes
The Bikini division lineup includes three-time Bikini Olympia champion Ashley Kaltwasser, who is looking to extend her record for the most wins by an IFBB Pro League competitor. She is at 47 victories going into this show.
There will be Canadian Physique Alliance amateur shows that serve as pro qualifiers. The winners of those shows will be eligible to compete in the pro contests.
