Panatta Rimini Contest & Diamond Cup

The most awaited bodybuilding competitions of the year!

During RiminiWellness 2025, two of the most important bodybuilding and fitness events at both national and international level will take place as per tradition. Organized by Panatta – a global leader in the production of bodybuilding and fitness equipment – in collaboration with Fit Italy Show Promotion, a company specialized in top Italian industry events.

Panatta continues to invest in the bodybuilding and fitness world, putting athletes at the center and drawing the attention of fans and visitors to the beating heart of the trade show: Pavilion A7.

Here, a large 400 m² gym will be set up, open to all athletes and enthusiasts, where it will be possible to train and test Panatta equipment – a symbol of Made in Italy excellence worldwide.

After the great success of the 2024 edition – which saw the participation of over 400 Italian athletes – Panatta is doubling down by also bringing the best international athletes to Rimini, offering an even more engaging and spectacular experience.

Two unmissable events will take the stage, measuring 21 x 7 meters:

• Panatta Rimini Contest, the national competition with over 400 Italian athletes and a gross prize pool of €40,000 – the highest in Europe and the world for amateur athletes;
• Diamond Cup Rimini, an international competition where top Italian and foreign athletes will battle to win one of the prestigious 12 IFBB Pro Cards.

The Panatta Rimini Contest will take place from Thursday, May 29th to Saturday, May 31st, while the Diamond Cup Rimini will be held on Sunday, June 1st.
With 1,000 seats, the arena will be the beating heart of the entire expo and will transform Pavilion A7 into the ultimate hub for competitive bodybuilding and fitness.

Among the most awaited categories again this year are the beloved Bikini and Men’s Physique, along with the 2025 novelty: the Fit Model category, where athletes will parade in swimsuits and evening dresses, adding even more prestige to the event.

Panatta will also be present with an impressive institutional booth in Pavilion C1, covering 500 m², where numerous new products will be unveiled – the embodiment of technical excellence and Italian style – the direct result of the work of Rudy Panatta, founder and owner of the company.

At the booth, visitors will have the chance to meet true legends of world bodybuilding, historic stars of Mr. Olympia:

• Ronnie Coleman, 8-time Mr. Olympia
• Lee Haney, 8-time Mr. Olympia
• Phil Heath, 7-time Mr. Olympia

...along with many prominent athletes from the international competitive scene, ready to welcome fans and enthusiasts:
Hany Rambod, coach of 25 Mr. Olympia winners, Rubiel Mosquera, aka Neckzilla, IFBBPRO athlete, and Bob Cicherillo, world champion and long-time Mr. Olympia presenter.
