The ascending star gave a preview of what might soon come.
On Apr. 4, 2023, Michal “Križo” Križánek shared an Instagram photo of himself guest posing and showing off his current physique on the 2023 Top De Colmar contest, which took place on Apr. 1, 2023. Križo wrote in his post that he had a monstrous body weight of 137 kilograms (302 kilos). The competition took place in Colmar, France.

Križo’s latest major physique reveal comes on the heels of a productive 2022 as a competitor. It would even help him to construct momentum on some early success within the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League. Križo took a measured approach that quickly evolved right into a seamless transition from the IFBB Elite Pro League.
In the summertime of 2022, Križo announced his intentions to determine himself as a bona fide Men’s Open athlete under the Pro League’s jurisdiction. The bodybuilder officially became a part of the National Physique Committee (NPC) and later earned his Pro Card by winning the 2022 Amateur Olympia Italy in October.
Only a number of weeks later, Križo scored his first International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League victory on the 2022 EVLS Prague Pro. That win would garner the competitor a spot within the 2022 Mr. Olympia, his debut at the celebrated contest. After a Twelfth-place finish, Križo is now assuredly coming for more.
After recent changes to the Olympia qualification system, Križo can have to win one other IFBB Pro League contest to qualify for the 2023 Mr. Olympia in Orlando, FL. Only past winners and top-five finishers from the 2022 contest have automatic berths on this yr’s competition. With the previous points-based system now not in place, everyone else must earn their keep by winning a 2023 IFBB Pro League contest.
On the time of this text’s publication, Križo has not announced his upcoming competitive intentions.
Based on his Instagram posts, the athlete appears to be within the thick of his offseason training. His physique teasing and guest posing appear to merely be a preview of what might come when he does step onto a stage to compete again later this yr.

In a sport like skilled bodybuilding, dark horses can seemingly come out of nowhere at any given contest, let alone the flagship Olympia. At this moment in time, Križo would likely still be considered a dark horse. By the top of 2023, such a label may not do that massive competitor proper justice.
