Not sure how many people here are fans of the Olympia but since I was a child I have loved it.

And how awesome is it that a 43yo won the top prize? I think for the first time in history were knocking on a new door of what we think is possible when comparing bodybuilding to age.
 
Reminds me of AJ Ellison. 40+ and still winning world championships. He’s insane. Shows what dedication can achieve.

Personally, I believe the Olympia is pathetic, especially being the pinnacle championship of the sport. It’s very politically influenced from within the community, rather than deserved placings.

Alot who placed and have won, shouldn’t have and those who lost and didnt place should have.

The press conference is cringy, especially by the emcee trying to stir up tension between competitors. To me, they are attempting to add too much drama to make the sport different than what it is.
