Ahead of Mr.Olympia, the one bodybuilder who has surprisingly attracted great attention is Michal Krizo. The 32-year-old Slovakian bodybuilder has qualified for Mr.Olympia for the first time this year. Many bodybuilding enthusiasts consider the newbie a tough competition as well. Looking at his eye-popping physique, Krizo also gained positive reassurance from veteran bodybuilder Flex Wheeler.
The four-time Arnold Classic champion recently assured Krizo that he could win the title for the prestigious bodybuilding competition.

Initially, it was Krizo who posted the story with Wheeler, with a caption that read:
“Love his physique”
The veteran bodybuilder generously reshared the story on his Instagram. Wheeler also wrote an optimistic message for the young bodybuilder, saying, ‘I think @ifbb_pro_michalkrizokriznek is going do very well tomorrow 🔥’.
As a veteran bodybuilder, Wheeler possibly has the vision to analyze which bodybuilder could take the title.
For many who don’t know, Krizo is the FBB Elite Pro champion. He won 13 out of 14 competitions that he participated in and switched to IFBB Pro League in this year’s July to participate in Mr.Olympia. After the Slovakian bodybuilder qualified for the upcoming championship many started to see him as a potential winner.
Michal Krizo’s physique impressed Jay Cutler
Jay Cutler was one of the pro bodybuilders who first created a massive buzz about Michal Krizo’s physique. He ran into Krizo at the Gold’s Gym in Venice in July 2022, and his monster-like physique blew Cutler’s mind away. The four-time Mr.Olympia spent a brief time with him working out and practicing poses.
