The headline winner of the 2023 Vancouver Pro was arguably Hassan Mostafa, who emerged victorious in the Men’s Open class. Mostafa follows this victory after earning his first two career wins in the 2022 Orlando Pro and the 2022 Puerto Rico Pro. The athlete started 2023 by finishing as the Men’s Open runner-up in the 2023 Toronto Pro Supershow and the 2023 Orlando Pro. With the Vancouver Pro victory, Mostafa is slated to officially compete in the Olympia for the second time in his career, per his page on NPC News Online. The athlete previously came in 13th place in the Men’s Open division at the 2021 Olympia.

The 2023 competitive bodybuilding season rolls on. The Vancouver Pro is a midsummer contest, but it is assuredly not the last opportunity for any prospective competitors to earn a place in the 2023 Olympia. On the near horizon, the 2023 Tampa Pro and the 2023 Texas Pro present themselves as the next major shots at bodybuilding glory.

On August 22, 2022, Mostafa shared Instagram footage of himself flexing his muscles and showing off different ripped aspects of his current physique. Without a caption, what Mostafa’s body weight is in the clip is unclear. All that is evident is that his arms, legs, back, and chest look impressive as he displays them one by one. His lower-body vascularity is also very apparent.

According to NPC News Online, Mostafa began his International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League career in early 2019. Since then, the athlete has steadily tried to rise up the Men’s Open Division ranks.

Mostafa’s first Pro League contest saw the athlete earn a third-place result at the 2019 Indy Pro. He followed that with a fifth-place finish at the 2019 Tampa Pro. Eventually, after stringing together a few solid performances over the years, Mostafa made his first Mr. Olympia appearance during the 2021 edition. He finished in 13th place. 

The year 2022 has been the most productive for Mostafa thus far, as the Puerto Rico and Orlando Pro competitions were the first wins of his career. Here’s a rundown of Mostafa’s Pro League resume:

Hassan Mostafa | IFBB Pro League Career Results 

• 2019 Indy Pro — Third place
• 2019 Tampa Pro — Fifth place
• 2020-2021 New York Pro — Fourth place (2020), Third place (2021)
• 2021 California Pro — Third place
• 2021-2022 Puerto Rico Pro — Third place (2021) | First place (2022); First career victory
• 2021 Chicago Pro — Sixth place
• 2021 Texas Pro — Fifth place
• 2021 Arnold Classic — Ninth place
• 2021 Mr. Olympia — 13th place
• 2022 Orlando Pro — First place

Note: Mostafa has only ever competed in the Men’s Open division as an IFBB Pro League member.

Mostafa’s Challenge

To push as a dark horse in December’s Olympia, Mostafa will have to overcome a host of worthy Men’s Open athletes. Among the more notable names, there’s the son of a bodybuilding legend in Hunter Labrada, one of the sport’s bigger rising stars in Nick Walker, former Olympia champion Brandon Curry (2019), and last but not least — two-time defending champ (2020-2021) Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay. Plus, in the event he earns his IFBB Pro Card in time, there’s also promising newcomer Michal Križánek. 

It’s a tall order for any athlete, let alone an elite bodybuilder like Mostafa. Yet, anything might be possible if he can carry the momentum of a strong 2022 into the Olympia. The 2022 Mr. Olympia will occur on December 16-18 in Las Vegas, NV.

Some of the more notable winners — across 10 different divisions between the men’s and women’s athletes — included Hassan Mostafa (Men’s Open) and Reshanna Boswell (Women’s Bodybuilding). With the Puerto Rico Pro being an official IFBB Pro League contest, Mostafa, Boswell, and each of the other eight winners earned automatic spots in the upcoming respective Mr. and Ms. Olympia competitions. Both will take place on December 16-18, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV.

Here’s a rundown of the Men’s Open results from the 2022 IFBB Puerto Rico Pro:

2022 Puerto Rico Pro Results | Men’s Open

Mostafa’s victory comes on the heels of a 13th place finish at the 2021 Mr. Olympia. The Egyptian bodybuilder took some time off after that contest to return to full capacity. After showcasing his latest stellar combination of strength, muscle, and body conditioning at the Puerto Rico Pro, Mostatafa will officially make his return to bodybuilding’s most prestigious competition.

Other Men’s Winners

While each of the 10 division winners is heading to their respective Olympia competition, some other higher-finishing athletes still earned valuable Tier 4 points toward their season totals. A Tier 4 contest is the least weighted points-wise under the IFBB’s standards. Those could pay off down the line for eventual qualification to the 2022 Mr. Olympia.

Here are the results for the other men’s divisions at the 2022 Puerto Rico Pro:

212 Division

1. Oswaldo Gonzalez
2. Dectric Bo Lewis
3. Emmanuel Rodriguez
4. Abdullah Alsaif
5. Ryan Walters
6. Fernando Noronha de Almeida
7. Felipe Dierro Lobos
8. Joan Cangieter
9. Rachid Souki
10. James Ortiz

Following a 15th place result at the 2021 Ms. Olympia, Boswell is undoubtedly on the hunt for a better finish at this year’s competition.
