Keone Pearson presented the best physique of his career and won his third consecutive Olympia title in the 212 category in the early hours of this Saturday (11) in Las Vegas, in the United States.
In the previews, which took place last Friday afternoon (10), the American bodybuilder confirmed his favoritism and was dominant in yet another direct dispute against Shaun Clarida, two-time champion of the tournament. Completing the top5, respectively, are Brazilian Lucas Garcia, Nihat Kaya and Courage Opara.
Despite his reign, Pearson may be leaving 212. This is because the athlete is currently less than half a kilo below the weight limit for the category in question. Just over a month ago, he announced that he will compete for the Open at the EVLS Prague Pro, which will take place in two weeks.
In addition to Garcia, three other Brazilian athletes competed in the 2025 edition of the most important bodybuilding tournament in the world – Luiz Esteves, Lucas Coelho and Vitor Porto. They, however, did not participate in the first call.
About category 212
In the category in question, the standard required is athletes with a high degree of muscle volume and definition, as in the Open, for example. However, the absolute weight limitation – 212 pounds (equivalent to approximately 96.16 kg) – makes the division more suitable for bodybuilders of smaller stature.
