There have been plenty of issues with travel for bodybuilders trying to make it into the United States. Vlad Suhoruchko is the latest. The Ukrainian bodybuilder will miss the 2021 Olympia because of issues getting to Orlando. Suhoruchko took to Instagram to make his announcement.
“Sadly say it but it’s was last competition on this year . I am Out from MR ⭕️ @mrolympiallc 2021 because of problem with visa … next year I will be there for sure and with better version of my self ⏳⚔️”
Vlad Suhoruchko earned qualification to the Olympia by gaining points over the course of the year. He has competed in events throughout the year to make it happen. Suhoruchko did not finish first in any competition but he was near the top in some big ones such as the Europa Pro Spain, Musclefest Pro, and Portugal Pro.
Suhoruchko did more than enough to earn an invitation to the event and it is unfortunate that he will be forced to miss for a reason like this. He has shown great size and conditioning on stage and it would have been exciting to watch him against other elite competitors. It is unlikely that Suhoruchko would have been able to win the competition but it could have been measuring stick to see where he stood against the best in the world.
At 25 years old, Suhoruchko is just getting started and will continue to make improvements each year. He has been giving plenty of physique updates via social media and building some hype around his name heading into the competition.
Vlad Suhoruchko will now focus on the 2022 bodybuilding year. This is where he will be able to earn qualification to next year’s Olympia. At some point, Suhoruchko will have a chance to step on the biggest stage in the sport and that will be a must-see event.
