This threw me behind considerably in my prep. Me and my coach decided that it\u2019s best to cancel my prep for now and focus on recovery\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Kalecinski made the move to Men\u2019s Open so he could bring his best physique possible to the stage with no restrictions and that is exactly what he did. Right away, he impressed with a victory in Italy before being crowned champion once again during the\u00a0Europa Pro Championships<\/a>. Kalecinski would go onto compete in the 2025 Olympia<\/a>, where he finished 13th in Open.<\/p>\n The initial plan, shared by Kienzl, was for Kalecinski to get experience on the biggest stages in the sport over the course of the year.

He also plans to attend both Pittsburgh and New York as a guest.<\/p>\n \u201cI definitely want to present my best version and show up fully loaded when going on stage. Right now, we just don\u2019t feel that it\u2019s possible in that remaining time frame. Anyway: I\u2019ll most likely visit the Pittsburgh & NY Pro show as a guest!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n 4x champion\u00a0Jay Cutler<\/a><\/strong> is on record saying that he believes that Urs Kalecinski is a future Mr. Olympia. He doubled down on this notion recently, but made his original comments in October following Kalecinski\u2019s move.<\/p>\n \u201cI really, truly think in time that you can win the Mr. Olympia in the Open. Which you couldn\u2019t do in the Classic unfortunately but I think you\u2019re going to be at this division than you were at the Classic division.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Before his move to Open, Urs Kalecinski carved out a reputation as one of the top Classic Physique competitors in the world. He won the\u00a0Tampa Pro<\/a>\u00a0in 2021, which led to his first Olympian appearance. Kalecinski secured fourth place in the competition.
