After Missing Multiple Bodybuilding Contests Due to VISA Issues, Iranian Bodybuilder Doesn’t Lose Hope: “Life Is About Risking Everything”

Competing on the Mr. Olympia stage is the dream of every bodybuilder who goes through an intense training routine for countless years. Among many bodybuilding icons who could not compete at Olympia year, stands out an Iranian Bodybuilder, Behrooz Tabani whose visa application did not get approved. However, Olympia is not the only competition for which he could not get a US Visa. He has faced the same trouble during many bodybuilding competitions. 

Despite these visa-related hurdles, he seems not to lose his morale. Instead, he seems to be filled with new hopes and positivity. He recently took to Instagram and shed light on the positive mindset that keeps him going every time he fails.

Behrooz Tabani stays positive in life  

In a recent post, the bodybuilding icon posted a photo showcasing his well-ripped body can make any fitness enthusiast root for the bodybuilder. Besides showing off his illustrious physique, in the caption, Tabani wrote something that seemed self-motivational. “Sometimes Life Is About Risking Everything For A Dream No One Can See But You,” the bodybuilder penned.

Through the post, he recalled the sacrifice he made to achieve this monstrous body. During Olympia 2022, Behrooz Tabani faced immigration issues and because of this, he could not enter the US and was deprived of the coveted championship.

The most unfortunate part of his story is that the visa issues continued to be with him even for Olympia 2023. This year too, he failed to appear on the stage as his visa was not approved. Visa issues prevalent in the US made the entire bodybuilding community enraged. The bodybuilding coach, Milos Sarcev was among the ones who showed his outrage to authority. To make his voice heard, the coach took to his Instagram account to define Tabani’s situation with an emotional note.

Milo Sarcev thought Tabani would make top 10 at Mr. Olympia
