Mr. Olympia - This is the most significant annual competition in bodybuilding, which began its triumphal procession back in 1965. The first Mr. Olympia winner was the legendary Larry Scott, the inventor of the Scott bench and the man who showed the world what really big hands are. For the first time the competition was held in the USA, in New York, and when Arnold Schwarzenegger first took this title, Mr. Olympia again took place in the place of its historical discovery. Knowing now the full significance of Arnold and this victory for the whole sport, this coincidence does not seem accidental, as if Providence itself wished to build a "new Siegfried on the Gnitaheid field."
Today, the Mr. Olympia contest is held only in the United States, at least from 1993 to 2016 this was the case, but in the past the contest traveled outside its homeland. In 1971 and 1972, the competition was held in France and Germany, respectively, then it was again held in the USA for several years, and then in 1975 it was held in South Africa, where he completed his career as an Austrian oak bodybuilder, but in 1980 "he still will return." Since then, a lot has changed, bodybuilding has become more popular, from the "underground" has turned into a real "mainstream", has won an army of fans, but, unfortunately, from a body beauty contest it has turned into a "freak" contest, as you can see for yourself, by viewing the evolution of Mr. Olympia winners.

Conclusion: As you can see, the Mr. Olympia contest went through a variety of times, and it’s not for nothing that the 70-80s are called the “golden era of bodybuilding”, since it was during that period that the bodies of athletes demonstrated an aesthetic that could and should be strived for. At one time, the development of bodybuilding went in a completely wrong direction, and instead of "reviving Greek statues" we saw "sacks stuffed with meat." Today the situation looks better and prizes are given to more proportional athletes, which inspires hope for a change in the course of development of this art form. Yes, bodybuilding is not a "sport", bodybuilding is an art form in which the material of the artist is his own body. So we can only hope that bodybuilding will soon experience its “renaissance” era.
SpoilerTarget"> Spoiler: Who?
During the performance of the 212 pounds category, the judges very quickly decided on the arrangement of places. Babak Akbarnia of Iran, winner of the 2015 Amateur Olympia in Moscow, coached by Dennis James, made his debut outside the top 10, sharing 16th repechage with Mozolani, Koritenski and Kim Jun-ho. José Reymond, a massive chunk of muscle, seemingly weighing far more than the advertised 96kg, came in third. And Ahmad Ashkani, who trains in Kuwait, went around him, literally in March he was an amateur, but having such wide back that it's time to think about the reincarnation of Dorian Yates. However, he still needs to work on his legs, and therefore the five-time winner of the Mr. Olympia title in the 212 pound category was the Englishman Flex Lewis, who came to the awards with his little daughter in his arms.
open weight category"Mr. Olympia", this is a whole chronicle. The legendary Kevin Levrone, who made a form from scratch in six months and raised an unprecedented sensation around himself, ended up in 16th place, sharing it with Brandonn Carey, who has excellent genetics and does not know how to use it. There is also Michael Locket, a newcomer to Olympia and Lukas Oslandil, widely known in narrow circles. Lately, Lukash has noticeably gained “meat”, but this was not enough. 15th place - Akim Williams, with huge arms and a narrow waist, but so far only so. 14 became Ben Pakulski with traditionally excellent hips and a lack of distinct arms and back. 13th place went to Steven Kuclo, who from "white hopes" slipped into some kind of gray disappointment, 12th place went to debutant Nathan De Asha, an athlete with a great future according to experts. 11 - Victor Martinez, who is loved by the judges, but permanent injuries prevent him from enduring a truly stunning form.
And so, finally, we got to the Top 10:
10th place - Justin Compton, young and promising, but in need of careful "cutting" athlete.
9th place - Australian Josh Lenartovich, dry as a bath leaf, but with flaws in the figure.
8th place - Dallas McCarver, another "white hope", who over time will be able to rise higher if he acquires a back befitting his dimensions.
7th place - overestimated by many Cedric Macmillan, an aesthetic athlete, but who has reached his maximum.6th place - incredibly huge Rulli Winklaar, but the legs are not well developed.
5th place - a small, but entirely consisting of balls, William Bonac has progressed from last year's Olympia immediately to three lines in the ranking.
4th place - Mamdu Ellsbiay, who pretty much dropped, who nevertheless began to "ripen up" as an athlete, demonstrating annual progress in the ranking of the best athletes.
3rd place - Dexter Jackson - this is quite deserved, because at AK in Africa he had a better shape.
2nd place - Sean Rhoden with a narrow waist and excellent legs.
1st place - Phil Heath becomes the six-time Mr. O. He gained a lot in his legs and showed better control of his stomach than before. And his arms and deltas are rightfully considered one of the best in the history of bodybuilding, in addition, Hit is consistently good, and there is simply no one to replace him. He received the main prize - a statuette of Sandow and a check in the amount of 400 thousand dollars from the hands of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Mr. Olympia 2017 - the largest and most significant tournament in the world of bodybuilding. The competition is held under the auspices IFBB, also known as the International Federation of Bodybuilding.
Participation in this tournament helped to build successful career many bodybuilders, among whom there are such legendary names as: Ronnie Columnen, Frank Zane, Jay Cutler, Kai Greene, Phil Heath and many other equally significant personalities.
This year was especially hot, as very strong contenders for the throne of the King of Olympus participated in such an eminent competition. Everyone wanted to oust six-time champion Phil Heath. But the really tough fight was at the end of the competition between Phil and Big Ramy. On the one hand - a massive body with a well-developed relief, on the other - even more mass, also with well-chiseled muscle relief. Who won? The answer is predictable Phil Heath. The quality of the muscles, the relief, the separation of the muscles, the proportions helped Heath become the seven-time Olympia champion.
How Mr. Olympia was created - a brief HISTORY
The history of Mr. Olympia dates back to the 60s, when Canadian-American coach and publicist Joe Weider came up with the idea of creating commercial competitions that could help athletes from all over the world earn good money for a living without compromising the regime and training. As a result, this idea has gained significant success. The tournament is held to this day, each time becoming more prestigious and attracting the attention of the strongest athletes around the world.
The scale of the competition, the prize fund, etc.
The scale and prestige of the competition can be judged by the amount of prize money that athletes receive by taking certain places. For example, on prize fund was 1.1 million dollars. Last year in 2016, Phil received $400,000 for first place, followed by Sean Rhoden in second place ($150,000) and Dexter Jackson in third place ($100,000). How much money the sponsors allocated this year was not announced, but the budget is not small, and this is for sure, depending on the number of sponsors and the scale of the event.
Interesting fact: Larry Scott went down in history of bodybuilding forever, becoming the first winner of Mr. Olympia back in 1965. He will eventually be joined by famous personalities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and others. You will be surprised to learn that the prize fund for first place was only 1000 $ .
Such popularity of the tournament is due to the careful selection of participants. Only those athletes who over the past year have already won prizes at the Arnold Classic and other significant competitions can appear on the Olympia stage. It is necessary to have a “PRO” card, and, of course, to be a physically gifted athlete. Actually, all the salt is in genetic talent, no matter how sad it may sound for many, but it is possible to get to Olympia if a person is lucky with genetics and nothing more. Participants of the Olympia prize-winning five of the previous year are automatically allowed to compete. Such a tough selection is the price for the title of the best bodybuilder on the planet. Moreover, this requires a serious prize fund - more than one million dollars.
At this moment " Mr. Olympia - 2017"- a competition not only for male heavyweight bodybuilders. To attract more people, categories such as Men's Physique And classic, and for female athletes there are categories figure, Women's Physique, bikinis And Fitness. In addition, competitions in equipment powerlifting are held.
If earlier " Mr. Olympia"was a purely American tournament, available only to" their own ", now the Amateur Olympia is gaining momentum, a victory in which can also contribute to obtaining pro cards and the opportunity to perform on the main stage in Las Vegas. It has already been held several times in Russia, giving a chance Russian athletes at least a little closer to the dream of almost any professional.
The 2017 Mr. Olympia competition was held, as in most cases, in Las Vegas, from September 14 to 17. This time period includes a competition of all nominations, various exhibitions and other thematic events. For those who do not have the opportunity to become a direct spectator, an online broadcast was conducted, which could be viewed on the website of one of the main sponsors of the competition - Amazon.
Olympia 2017 and Kai Green
In 17, Kai again stood aside, refusing to take part in this event. In general, Kai Greene is a rather mysterious person and I can’t really explain why he did not want to compete for the title of Mr. Olympia. Perhaps he simply soberly assessed his chances of winning and saw no reason to come. Moreover, in terms of money, in principle, he did not lose anything, since at Olympia he would hardly have been able to take 1st place and win the main prize of $ 400 thousand, and the money that he would have received by taking 2-3rd place , so he made his money by touring the world and earning good commissions from his performances. For example, recently Kai attended an event from an alternative federation - Super League, co-founded by the well-known DORIAN YATES. Official website of the Super League - http://superleague.live/. According to rumors, he was paid for this performance 60 000 $ . If we add to this amount the fees for other tours around the world, including Korea, then a good addition to the total bank account comes out. At the same time, I also saw each other.
In addition, watch the video where Kai shares his impressions of the 2017 MO competition, Phil Heath and his competition with Big Ramy without much philosophizing.
So, let's get acquainted with the results of the final performances of the athletes, the places they took and the prize money. I must say right away that for some categories it was not possible to dig up the exact amounts of prize money, even on foreign sites there is not the entire amount of information. I don't think it's that important, but still.
Results of Olympia 2017 in the category of bodybuilding (absolute)
That's all - applause, the grand competition Olympia 2017 is over. It was one wild weekend with many exciting wins and losses. But the highlight of the night was the male category. Phil Heath, 37, has bested Big Rami in a very tough battle for first place. Phil won his 7th Olympia title by linking with bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger who also has seven titles.

regular, 19th Prize Draw from our sponsor company ambalshop.
Congratulations to our winners!
Mr. Olympia 2016 - Day one.
So, the main bodybuilding show of the year has begun. All that fans and fans have been waiting for so long, fueled by the intrigue unfolding right before their eyes, will take place this weekend in the gambling capital of Las Vegas. So, how will the first day of the grandiose holiday for bodybuilding fans be remembered?
First of all, of course, a meeting with athletes - Olympians and a press conference with their participation, at which a number of curious moments took place. Ageless Dexter Jackson, speaking from the Olympic podium, said in literal translation that he had come to "kick ass" and said that " Levrone is the champ from the past and Phil Heath is the current champ and I've done it then and now so I'm the best"Whether bragging will help Dexter will become known very soon, because he is not the only one demonstrating a two-finger victory in front of the camera lenses, but also Rulli Winklaar and debutant Nathan de Asha. Permanent presenter Bob Cicherillo advised William Bonac when posing to touch Phil Heath with his dreadlocks, as Kai Green once did with his braid. Bonac liked the idea, but Heath gave out Kai's secret, saying that his braid was artificial from extended hair, and he had nothing against Bonac's natural dreadlocks. And finally, the apotheosis of the press conference was posing Kevin Levrone, who took off his clothes and showed simply incredible shape for a man of fifty dollars, given the time he spent on his preparation. He was competed with Cedric Macmillan and Josh Lenartovich. What place will each of them take, was not fundamentally important at the time of posing, only one question arose - what did Cedric do all these years if Kevin exhibited t such conditions, starting to train in February of this year? Phil Heath at that moment modestly closed his eyes, either holding back a smile, or afraid of "going blind" from the sight of Levronov's form. It must be said that the PR campaign carried out has borne fruit and, in fact, Levron is now more popular than the current five-time Mr. Olympia. Phil Heath himself, despite his excellent shape, does not at all look like a giant next to a completely ordinary person, as can be seen from the photo. Although, it is quite possible that "loading" with carbohydrates will have its say.
It was a little sad to see Dennis Wolf watching the press conference from the audience. Health problems did not allow him to take part in the Olympia this year, but we believe that "Bad Big Wolf" Dennis will still take his toll and please the fans with victorious performances.
Among the guests of the show was a merry fellow Markus Ruhl, who recently became a father and, despite his age and sleepless nights, looks just a healthy man.
Also, undoubtedly, the results of the weighing of athletes performing in the category of 212 pounds will be interesting. So, the lightest was Sean Clarida with a weight of 72.7 kg; Sami Al Haddad "tightened" on the scales of 92.2; Ahmad Ashkanani 96 kg; Guy Cisterino 95.4 kg; Eduardo Correa 95.9; Dobromir Delev exactly 96 kg; Charles Dixon 95.5; Mark Dugdale weighs 92.7 kg; David Henry 95.5 kg; Vojtech Koritensky 88.8 kg; Flex Lewis 95.9 kg; Andrei Mozolani 95.5 kg; Jose Raymond 95.9 kg; Hide Yamagishi 95.5 kg, and Korean athlete Kim Jung-ho 84.1 kg.
Mr. Olympia 2016 - Day two.
Guests and fans of bodybuilding at the Olympia Expo exhibition were met by athletes with smiles on their faces and pens at the ready, signing autographs and taking pictures with everyone near the stands with the products they advertise. The event was attended by well-known bodybuilders of the past and present, Tom Platz was seen talking animatedly with David Palumbo and Branch Warrenwho did not qualify for Olympia 2016 on points, who was interviewed by Markus Ruhl. Warren had grown cheeks and looked happy. Jay Cutler also held his seminar here, although what new he could tell the audience is not entirely clear, but nevertheless everyone remembers his phrase " I "m the world" s greatest bodybuilder". Apparently, that's what it's worth.
There were competitions among women in the category "bikini" and "fitness". The next Ms. Olympia in the bikini was Courtney King, unexpectedly displacing last year's champion Ashley Kaltwasser, who ended up only fourth. Among fitness players, Oksana Grishina, quite expectedly and deservedly won, becoming a three-time Miss Olympia.
The preliminary comparisons in the open category for men were held, after which athletes weighing no more than 212 pounds entered the stage. Perhaps it was the round of preliminary comparisons in the open weight category that brought the greatest number of disappointments to those who continue to believe in miracles and succumb to the tricks of the show organizers in order to increase tournament attendance. Yes, Levrone took the stage. But there was no point in comparing him with Hit. Kevin's legs, unfortunately, are not at all up to the level of even the top 10. Apparently, the practice of inviting bodybuilders to shows bypassing qualifications is still wrong from the point of view of the readiness of individual athletes. It makes no sense to describe the whole process of posing athletes, it’s better to see it once, you just have to say that apparently the top 3 has been determined, but we won’t see either Winklaar or Mamdu there, like Macmillan along with McCarver. However, everything is still ahead and the decisions of the judges can be truly unpredictable.
In the Woman Physicist nomination, the winner for the third time in a row was the 41-year-old Brazilian representative Julianna Malacarne, who replaced Dana Lynn Bailey in 2014.
IN male category“classic physicist” everything was much more complicated, the judges had someone to choose from, as a result, Breon Ansley was in fourth place, Sediq Khazovic was third, Arash Rahbar was second, and 47-year-old Danny Hester won. Darrem Charles, who is also a veteran bodybuilder, could only take fifth place. Robert Tims, despite the split biceps and excellent shape, unfortunately missed the top 5.
In the "beach bodybuilding" category, Jeremy Buendia became the undisputed winner, having taken the title "Mr. Olympia" for the third time, our Denis Gusev, like Anton Antipov, is far beyond the top 10, unfortunately. And ahead of us are the finals for men in the category of 212 pounds and, of course, in the most prestigious open category.
Mr. Olympia 2016 - Day three.
So, the very day has come for which we are all gathered here. During the performance of the 212 pounds category, the judges very quickly decided on the arrangement of places. Babak Akbarnia of Iran, winner of the 2015 Amateur Olympia Moscow, coached by Dennis James, made his debut outside the top 10, tied for 16th repechage with Mozolani, Koritenski and Kim Jun-ho. José Reymond, a mere lump of muscle, seemingly weighing far more than the claimed 96kg, came in third. And Ahmad Ashkanani, who trains in Kuwait, went around him, literally in March he was an amateur, but having such a wide back that it’s time to think about the reincarnation of Dorian Yates. However, he still needs to work on his legs, and therefore the Englishman Flex Lewis became the five-time winner of the Mr. Olympia title in the 212 pound category, who went to the awards ceremony with his little daughter in his arms.
The open weight category "Mr. Olympia" is a whole chronicle. The legendary Kevin Levrone, who made form from scratch in six months and raised an unprecedented sensation around himself, ended up in 16th place, sharing it with Brandon Carey, who has excellent genetics and does not know how to use it. There is also Michael Lockett, a newcomer to Olympia and Lukasz Oslandil, widely known in narrow circles. Lately, Lukash has noticeably gained “meat”, but this was not enough. 15th place - Akim Williams, with huge arms and a narrow waist, but so far the only way. 14 became Ben Pakulski with traditionally excellent hips and a lack of distinct arms and back. 13th place went to Stephen Kuclo, who from "white hopes" slipped into some kind of gray disappointment, 12th place went to debutant Nathan De Asha, an athlete with a great future according to experts. 11 - Victor Martinez, whom the judges love, but permanent injuries make it difficult to endure a truly stunning form.
And so, finally, we got to the Top 10:

Bodybuilding is considered a symbol of masculinity, exquisite beauty and relief of the body.
