ANTONIO MATKOVIC
THE MAN
I’m Antonio Matkovic, I come from Montenegro and I live in a city near sea.
THE ATHLETE
Before my motorcycle accident I love and train water polo, basketball, but not too much basketball, maybe four, five months. Yeah, and football also, but I love water polo sports because I live near water and all my life I train this.
And of course I like to watch basketball, NBA, of course, and that’s it.
In bodybuilding, I trained almost 15 years old, but in competition five years.
And last year I be IFBB Pro in Brazil. I won Arnold Classic. And the next day I qualified for Mr. Olympia. Second place and that’s enough for me for qualify for Mr. Olympia. 2025 and the last Olympia I was being in top six and that’s it. I love this game, this life and this sport.
THE HERO
For my inspiration it’s myself. I am my inspiration because all my life I do alone, train alone, make a food alone, traveling alone, everything I do alone.
I love my mindset, my discipline and my mind.
And also I like this life and I wanted to say another people for motivation to be clean in your head, no negative mindset. This is one life, this is one opportunity and we need to live this life and enjoy in every moment, traveling, make bodybuilding a great show again and love each other.
