The 2025 Olympia Weekend, held from October 9–12, 2025, opened with fireworks in the Men’s 212 division and results are revealed. Two-time defending champion Keone Pearson entered the show as the clear favorite — and once again, he delivered perfection on stage.
Pearson took home his third straight Olympia title, dominating a stacked lineup that included Shaun Clarida, Lucas Garcia, and Nihat Kaya. His incredible shape, structure, and razor-sharp conditioning carried him to victory under the bright Las Vegas lights.
The crowd erupted when the final announcement came. Pearson has now solidified his legacy as one of the best 212 athletes of his generation.
2025 Olympia Men’s 212 Results
Pearson’s journey through the IFBB ranks tells a story of determination and evolution. He began his professional career in Classic Physique in 2016 before moving to the 212 category, where he quickly found his ideal fit.
He shocked the bodybuilding world in 2023 by defeating Shaun Clarida, the former two-time Olympia champion, to win his first 212 title. Many saw that victory as an upset, but Pearson proved it was no fluke by repeating in 2024.
Heading into this year, all eyes were on whether Clarida could reclaim the title. But from prejudging to finals, Pearson displayed an unbeatable balance of muscle density and symmetry that once again placed him above the rest.
Behind Pearson’s dominance, Shaun Clarida delivered another trademark performance of compact muscularity and conditioning that earned him second place. Lucas Garcia of Brazil claimed third after an impressive showing, while Nihat Kaya, only 21 years old, made headlines with his top-four finish in his Olympia debut.
Courage Opara rounded out the top five, continuing his run as one of the most consistent 212 competitors. Veterans Kerrith Bajjo and Francisco Barrios Vlk brought powerful physiques but fell short of the top spots against an incredibly deep lineup.
