Michal Križánek is out of the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury and will not compete for qualification for Mr. Olympia!

Michal Křižánek's 2024 bodybuilding season ended abruptly. The Men's Open star has confirmed that he will no longer try to qualify for the Mr Olympia competition after injuring his shoulder.

Križo made his season debut at the 2024 Empro Classic Pro last weekend. He entered the competition with a significant lead as the defending champion. However, alongside Behrooz Tabani, who boasted exceptional fitness, he took on arguably the best William Bonac we have ever seen. Križo eventually finished in third place.

With so few qualifiers available to athletes in the Men's Open category for the Olympics, questions began to swarm about Krizo's next performance. To clear the air, he took to his Instagram to reveal what went wrong in Alicante, Spain. He also talked about his plan to qualify for Mr. Olympia 2025 early by trying to reclaim his title at November's EVLS Prague Pro.

He will not be performing in Portugal or Dubai this summer. His number one priority is to get his shoulder fixed so he can train and pose at 100%. He will be returning for the prestigious EVLS Prague Pro which takes place after the Olympia, he wants to go for a sure qualification for the 2025 Olympia.
