After I won the champion in Riga in 2019,
I became the role model for this category. In
2018, when I first started competing there
were only 6 of us, and in 2022, at our Fit
Model Championship there were 97 male
athletes. At almost every championship in
China this year, the number of athletes in the
Men’s Fit Model category outnumbered the
Men’s Physique category.
Last year, as I looked at the other 96
athletes getting ready to compete, warming
up for stage, preparing their jeans and suits,
letting their girlfriends do their make up and
hair, I was touched. Looking at them standing
next to bodybuilders, but still presenting the
beauty of the male body and possessing the
same level of confidence as people 2 times
their size, it warmed my heart deeply.

promoting this outstanding new category.
For the past 4 years, as people may have
seen on my Instagram, I have competed and
trained and improved non-stop. I am known
