Highlights from the 2026 Olympia Men’s 212 prejudging.
The 2026 Olympia is underway in Las Vegas with the Men’s 212 division once again bringing one of the deepest lineups of the weekend, and Generation Iron is covering it all. Prejudging will provide the first opportunity to see how the division stacks up as competitors battle for position heading into the finals.
Keone Pearson enters the weekend as the three-time reigning 212 Olympia champion after completing his three-peat in 2025. Pearson has established himself as the man to beat in the division, but another loaded group of contenders will look to challenge his run at the top.
Former two-time 212 Olympia champion Shaun Clarida is once again among the biggest names in the field, while Angel Calderon Frias, Breon Ansley, Lucas Garcia, Nihat Kaya, and Radoslav Angelov are among the athletes who could make noise during prejudging.
