Ali Bilal secures 2nd place in Mr. Olympia Men’s Physique

KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghan bodybuilder Ali Bilal claimed second place in the “Men’s Physique” category at the 2025 Mr. Olympia World Bodybuilding Championships on Sunday.

The competitions were held over the past two days in various categories in Las Vegas, USA.

Ali Bilal, a global star in men’s physique, once again earned the silver medal on the world’s biggest bodybuilding stage.

The gold medal in this category went to Ryan Terry from the United Kingdom.

Last year, Bilal also finished second at the Mr. Olympia Physique competition, while he had previously secured first place at the Arnold Classic.

Following that event, he announced that he would no longer participate in the Arnold Classic in protest of controversies surrounding the competition.

It is noteworthy that Afghanistan has never before had an athlete competing at the level of a Mr. Olympia contender in bodybuilding history.
