William Bonac

William Bonac makes his return to the stage for the first time since 2022. He decided to take some time off and did not compete last year. Now, he looks primed and ready to take the stage once again. Bonac shared a physique update three weeks out from the Empro Classic and looked like he ever stepped away. The former Arnold Classic champ and Olympia runner-up can be considered the favorite to win this show by the looks of his update. He looked full and conditioned, which will make him difficult to beat on stage.

Michal Krizo

Michal Krizo brought his best package to the 2023 Olympia, where he finished seventh in just his second competition. Krizo is still looking to qualify for this year’s show. While that is the expectation at some point this year, Krizo might be bested by Bonac. This will be the battle to watch. If Krizo can come in peeled and proportioned, he will have a shot to take home the prize.

Behrooz Tabani

Behrooz Tabani is ready to turn some heads in Spain. He has been working with Milos Sarcev and this means he is expected to enter in top shape. Tabani has qualified for the Olympia in each of the last two years but visa issues kept him out of the show. He brings great conditioning and consistency each time he steps on stage but has been working to add size to his legs. He is a dark-horse that can take a big step by winning this show.
