The long-awaited 2023 Masters Olympia is scheduled to go down in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from August 26-27. The contest is taking place for the first time since 2012, and it’s also the first time that multiple divisions outside of Men’s Open will be showcased.
In total, 10 IFBB Pro League divisions will appear at this event — the only division not included is Men’s Wheelchair.
Now, after months of speculation, the rosters for all 10 Masters Olympia divisions were revealed in an Instagram post on April 25. Check out the roster breakdowns below.

Men’s Bodybuilding
The Men’s Open contest features 19 athletes, highlighted by Joshua Lenartowicz, who may be the biggest surprise of all. The Australian powerhouse finished ninth at the Mr. Olympia twice (2016, 2017) and was considered at one time to be a serious contender before taking a sabbatical. He hasn’t stepped on stage since his 11th-place finish at the 2020 Arnold Classic.
Other notable entrants include 2019 Olympia 212 champion Kamal Elgargni, who opted to apply for the Open division, and former Tampa Pro winner Maxx Charles. Though rumors swirled that past Mr. Olympia champs like Jay Cutler and Phil Heath could possibly participate in the show, neither is on the final roster. Here’s who will show up:
Vladimir Agrinskiy
Slavoj Bednar
Robert Burneika
Maxx Charles
Philip Clahar

Michael Ely
Vinny Galanti
