Below are three athletes who could make waves in Portugal when they step on stage.
Andrea Presti
Presti is the defending champion at this contest. That victory in 2021 was his first pro win and the only pro victory thus far in his pro career. He’s competed three times in 2022 — scoring a pair of second-place finishes in the New York Pro and Orlando Pro, and a seventh-place rank at the California State Pro.
The Orlando contest was less than one week before the show in Portugal. If he can maintain his conditioning while traveling overseas, he will be in position to go back-to-back.
Tim Budesheim
Budesheim was the runner-up to Presti in 2021. That contest was when many fans became aware of Budeshiem for the first time. This will be his first competition in 2022, so he may come back bigger and better.
The matchup between Budesheim and Presti will be an interesting one. Budesheim’s proportions are good, and his overall symmetry makes his physique stand out. If the German can get rid of the water beneath his skin to reveal maximum definition, he stands a good chance of winning this show.
Andrea Muzi
Muzi placed fourth at the California Pro in May 2022. The fifth-year pro from Italy is still hunting for his first pro win and an Olympia debut.
Muzi appeared bigger than years past when he competed in San Diego, CA. He will need to be shredded to have a chance to win this show. He’s certainly capable of that, and the other contenders shouldn’t sleep on him.

All winners move on to the Olympia while top five finishers will earn Tier 4 points towards the Olympia Qualification System. The top three finishers in that system at the end of the season will also move on to the Olympia.
