Hassan Mostafa
Hassan Mostafa, the reigning 2022 Orlando Pro champion, aimed to defend his title in 2023. Although he had two pro wins in the 2022 season, including the Puerto Rico Pro, Mostafa did not compete in the Olympia that year.
He already participated in the 2023 Toronto Pro Supershow, securing second place behind Iain Valliere.
If Mostafa emerges victorious in the Orlando Pro contest, it will mark his second appearance at the Olympia, having placed 13th in 2021.
Mohammad Alnsoor
Mohammad Alnsoor, a third-year pro from Jordan, made his season debut in 2023. With exceptional posing and definition, Alnsoor presented himself as a strong contender capable of challenging Mostafa.
Alnsoor made his Mr. Olympia debut in 2022 by winning the Monsterzym Pro contest. However, he finished outside the top 15 at the Olympia in Las Vegas.
Phil Clahar
Phil Clahar, on the other hand, had already committed to the Masters Olympia contest in Romania on August 26-27, 2023. Although he had not secured an Open show victory since his pro debut 2018, Clahar consistently performed well.
Notably, he placed second overall to Iain Valliere at the 2021 Tampa Pro. Clahar’s most recent appearance was at the 2022 Boston Pro, where he finished sixth place. The Orlando Pro marked his debut for the 2023 season.
