A complete list of the currently qualified bodybuilders for the 2025 Olympia weekend – plus a breakdown of the requirements.
The 2024 Olympia is now in the books and competitors will now focus on qualifying for next year’s competition. The dates and location of the 2025 Olympia have been shared just yet but athletes have already begun punching their tickets to the event.
The qualification period began on Sept. 16 and will run to Sept. 14, 2025. In previous years, bodybuilders were able to total points over the course of the season. In 2022, the IFBB did away with the points qualification system for all divisions other than Wheelchair. Athletes will now have to win a show over the course of the season in order to compete on the biggest stage in bodybuilding.
The IFBB Pro League shared the full qualification rules for the competition and they mirror the 2024 system.
2025 Olympia Qualification Rules
For all Divisions except Wheelchair Bodybuilding
- Top 3 from 2024 Mr. Olympia
- Top 3 from all other divisions in 2023 Olympia
- Winner of each OPEN contest held during the qualification period
For Wheelchair Bodybuilding
- Top 3 from 2024 Olympia
- Winner of each OPEN contest held during the qualification period
- Top 5 in the Points Standing
The top three finishers from each division from this year’s event will automatically qualify. Other automatic qualifications will come from former champions. Each previous winner of an Olympia title holds lifetime eligibility for their division. After five years since winning their title, the bodybuilder must get permission from the IFBB to compete.
The IFBB Pro League can also send out special invitations to competitors. This has sparked different conversations in recent years. Most recently, seven-time 212 Olympia champion Flex Lewis received a special invitation to compete at the 2020 Olympia. He did not compete due to an injury. In 2022, Derek Lunsford was qualified for 212 following his victory the year before. After putting on incredible size looking to move up, he received a special invite to compete in Men’s Open. Lunsford would go onto win the 2023 Mr. Olympia.
