The 2025 Taiwan Pro 2 took place from July 18 to 20 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This event marked an important stop on the IFBB Pro League calendar, offering Olympia qualifications for two popular divisions: Men’s Physique and Bikini. With the 2025 Olympia scheduled for October in Las Vegas, this was a critical opportunity for athletes to punch their tickets.
Next, the contest featured 27 pro competitors from around the world. Countries represented included Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and more. The judging panel evaluated athletes on physique balance, symmetry, conditioning, and stage presence, and delivered tight scorecards across both categories.
Finally, Shun Kaneko of Japan won the Men’s Physique division and claimed his second career Olympia qualification. Meanwhile, South Korea’s Ji Bin Park earned gold in the Bikini division and qualified for her fourth Bikini Olympia appearance. Both athletes dominated with perfect scores and took home gold medals.
