Warsaw, Poland | 31 October 2026 | Verified results. Shaun Clarida has won the 2026 Everest Muscle Stars Poland Pro Men’s Open bodybuilding title. The two-time 212 Olympia champion finished ahead of Josef Kveton of the Czech Republic and Poland’s Krystian Wolski, delivering a notable Open-division win and earning a 2027 Olympia qualification place under the current IFBB Pro League rules.
The result in 15 seconds: Shaun Clarida first; Josef Kveton second; Krystian Wolski third. British athlete Reece Mcdonald placed tenth in the Open. In the separate Masters 40+ competition, Lukasz Prekop won, with the UK’s Neil Andrews third. All placings below are taken from the official IFBB Pro League event result and scorecard.

2026 Everest Muscle Stars Poland Pro results: Men’s Open top ten
The following is the official top ten, not a prediction or an unverified social-media ranking. The show was held in Warsaw on 31 October 2026. Names and finishing places match the IFBB Pro League’s published scorecard.
| Place | Competitor | Country | Official total score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shaun Clarida | USA | 6 |
| 2 | Josef Kveton | Czech Republic | 12 |
| 3 | Krystian Wolski | Poland | 21 |
| 4 | Pavel Beran | Czech Republic | 21 |
| 5 | Pablo Llopis Munoz | Spain | 33 |
| 6 | Ahmed Juraybi | Saudi Arabia | 39 |
| 7 | Andrea Muzi | Italy | 42 |
| 8 | Jose William Junior | Brazil | 42 |
| 9 | Lukasz Prekop | Poland | 55 |
| 10 | Reece Mcdonald | UK | 59 |
Why can third and fourth both have 21 points? The official sheet separates judging and finals. Wolski recorded 12 in judging and 9 in finals; Beran recorded 9 and 12. Their totals were equal, and the published final placing awards Wolski third. Scorecard totals alone do not justify inventing an extra tiebreak rule; use the official final ranking.
How convincing was Shaun Clarida’s scorecard?
Clarida’s official figures were 3 points in judging and 3 in finals, for 6 total. Second-placed Kveton recorded 6 plus 6, totalling 12. That is a clear advantage on the published judging sheet; it does not mean Clarida won by six kilograms, six votes or an objectively measured bodybuilding percentage.
| Athlete | Judging | Finals | Total | Place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaun Clarida | 3 | 3 | 6 | 1st |
| Josef Kveton | 6 | 6 | 12 | 2nd |
| Krystian Wolski | 12 | 9 | 21 | 3rd |
| Pavel Beran | 9 | 12 | 21 | 4th |
The scorecard illustrates an important point for aspiring competitors: muscularity and conditioning are only meaningful when assessed through a particular division’s judging criteria. A placing score is a competition ranking system, not a lab measurement of who has the largest muscles. FM Coaching’s competition preparation approach therefore starts with the athlete’s actual division, realistic timeline, posing practice and recovery—not a comparison with professional athletes on social media.
Why Clarida’s Men’s Open win matters beyond Poland
Clarida is widely known for his success in the 212 category. Winning a Men’s Open professional show is a different competitive achievement: the category does not use the same 212-pound cap. His victory does not prove body size is unimportant, nor does it erase differences between divisions. It shows that a competitor with major 212 success can also win an Open contest when judged against the athletes entered on that day.
The immediate news value is straightforward: Clarida adds an IFBB Pro League Open victory to his record, moves into the next Olympia qualification conversation and has an official result readers can verify. Future contest plans, an Olympia division selection or a prediction about 2027 placings would require separate confirmation; those details are not established by the Warsaw scorecard.
Masters 40+ results and British competitors in Warsaw
The Masters division was contested separately from the Men’s Open field. Its published standings give UK bodybuilding fans an additional reason to follow this event beyond Clarida’s win.
| Masters placing | Competitor | Country |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lukasz Prekop | Poland |
| 2 | Pierre Lambinon | Belgium |
| 3 | Neil Andrews | UK |
| 4 | Carmelo Zuccarello | Italy |
| 5 | Peter Zembjak | Slovakia |
| 6 | Libor Vobornik | Czech Republic |
| 7 | Tomas Tabaciar | Slovakia |
| 8 | Neale Cranwell | UK |
For British readers, the main highlights are Reece Mcdonald, tenth in the Men’s Open; Neil Andrews, third in Masters 40+; and Neale Cranwell, eighth in Masters 40+. Do not confuse the two divisions: they had different competitors and results, and Prekop took ninth in the Open while winning Masters 40+.
Did Shaun Clarida qualify for the 2027 Mr Olympia?
Yes. According to the official 2027 Olympia Qualification System, Men’s Open Bodybuilding competitors qualify by winning an eligible Open contest during the qualification period, among other specified routes. The 2027 period runs from 31 August 2026 through 12 September 2027, and Clarida won the Men’s Open event in Warsaw on 31 October 2026.
Important distinction: this does not mean the qualification system works identically for every bodybuilding category. Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Bikini and Wellness have different points and automatic-qualification routes for 2027. A specific event win should always be checked against the current rules for its division.
What can first-time bodybuilders learn from a professional scorecard?
- Learn your class: A Men’s Open result is not a template for a first-timer, novice, Bikini, Wellness or Classic Physique class.
- Practise presentation: Judging involves how well the physique is displayed in the required poses, not just what the athlete lifts in the gym.
- Use evidence rather than assumptions: Published scorecards are more reliable than online rumours about who was “robbed”.
- Avoid copying peak-week extremes: Professional appearance on show day does not validate dehydration, drug use or crash dieting for amateur competitors.
- Choose sensible timelines: Progression, safe conditioning, posing, sleep and appropriate nutritional support matter more than trying to reproduce a professional’s appearance in a few weeks.
