About the Mr. Olympia
In the sport of bodybuilding, no title is more prestigious (or offers a greater monetary prize) than the Olympia. The best competitors in the world train year-round for the opportunity to step on stage in hopes of cementing themselves as the greatest in their respective divisions.
The Mr. Olympia, which features Men’s Open competitors, is considered the main event. This year, Hadi Choopan, “The Persian Wolf,” is fighting for his second title. His biggest hurdle will be last year’s runner-up and former 212 Olympia champion, Derek Lunsford. Lunsford moved up to the Men’s Open class in spectacular fashion, displaying massive muscle bellies and sharp conditioning. Going into this year’s Olympia, he is the top contender.
Compared to the 2022 Olympia, this year’s line-up isn’t as competitive, though it still features some elite competitors. The 2019 Mr. O Brandon Curry is stepping back on stage, as is Nick Walker, who placed third in last year’s line-up and is also an Arnold Classic champion.
