2022 Puerto Rico Pro Results & Recap

The winners in each division punched their ticket to compete at the 2022 Olympia which is set to take place from December 16-18th in Las Vegas.
Men’s Open
This division is one of the most hotly contested in the sport and I was Egypt’s Hassan Mostafa who ended up winning the title. At this same event last year he placed 3rd so this was a step in the right direction for Mostafa. In the 2021 Olympia He placed 13th so it will be interesting to see if he can improve his showing this year.
- Winner: Hassan Mostafa
- Second Place: Theo Leguerrier
- Third Place: C.J. Giatras
- Fourth Place: Andrea Muzi
- Fifth Place: Maxx Charles
212
Many would consider this division to result in an upset when Oswaldo Gonzalez took the title after narrowly beating out Bo Lewis. This is arguably the biggest win in Oswaldo’s career but he earned it after coming in with a super peeled physique.
- Winner: Oswaldo Gonzelez
- Second Place: Bo Lewis
- Third Place: Emmanuel Rodriguez
- Fourth Place: Abdullah Alsai
- Fifth Place: Ryan Walters
Men’s Physique
Clarence McSpadden walked away from the contest with a huge win. He competed in last year’s Olympia securing 16th place so we know he’s out for redemption this time around, let’s see if he can finish higher later this year.

- Second Place: Anthony Gilkes
- Third Place: Andrea Mosti
- Fourth Place: Daniele Django
- Fifth Place: Rhyan Clark
Classic Physique
It was Emanuele Ricotti who edged out Carlos Dommar for the first place finish. Ricotti put on a near flawless performance to win the title. Dommar shouldn’t feel too bad about a second-place finish after all he’s already qualified for the 2022 Olympia with his win at the 2022 Optimum Classic Pro.
- Winner: Emanuele Ricotti

- Third Place: Kelvin Hinde

- Second Place: Cong Mou
