The 2025 Men’s 212 Olympia finals began at 7:15 p.m. PDT inside the Las Vegas Resorts World Theatre. When it was over, Keone Pearson secured his third consecutive title after his closest battle yet with former champ Shaun Clarida.
With Men’s 212 Bodybuilding growing in popularity, it’s become one of the most anticipated contests of the weekend. The event had huge implications—reigning 212 Olympia Pearson was in the hunt for a three-peat, while former two-time champ, Shaun Clarida, aimed to regain the title.
During prejudging, it was a tale of two stories: Pearson’s size and fullness and Clarida’s bone-dry conditioning. In the finals, Pearson looked tighter, and his aesthetic shape set the tone early. His back hardness gave his rear lat spread freak factor, complicating Clarida’s plan to upset. Ultimately, Keone Pearson won his third title. Shaun Clarida finished in second place, and Lucas Garcia took bronze.
