212 Bodybuilding Athletes to Watch
The winner of the 212 contest will be the 12th man to qualify for the 2025 212 Olympia contest. These three men are expected to be in the running for that spot.
Geonwoo Kim
Geonwoo Kim was 16th at the 2024 212 Olympia contest in Las Vegas, NV. This will be his first show since that contest. He needs to requalify for the 2025 Olympia and is expected by several experts to do so at this show.
Asmawi Zolkifli
Asmawi Zolkifli has yet to win a pro show, and he’s coming off an 11th-place finish at the 2024 Huanji China Pro. However, he could fare better in this show because fewer established veterans are in this lineup.
Hill Chou
Hill Chou represents the host country. He was seventh at his pro debut in the 2024 World of Monsterzym Pro. He can go into this show with a better understanding of what pro judges are looking for and fare much better for this show.
