Is it only in my mind or are the Olympia coverages "dead" right now?

I would ask You guys one question: Do you think that there are less coverages for Olympia contest than last years? I think, now, this year, for me it isn´t so interesting, so where is the problem? Is it the effect of financial crisis? Who knows maybe. I want Your opinions guys.

I'm not sure what your actually driving at with your question.

Are you saying that the pre-contest, the general hype is less this year? Or are you saying that we aren't hearing about all of the competitors? Or are you saying that the event itself is not the "big" TV event it once was?

I think that event about all competitors isn´t as big as it was last year when we had a lot video series from muscletech and the battle between Jackson Cutler.

I think there is a bit more hype going into the show just based around the amount of competitors actually in the running to win!

MuscleTech doesn't sponsor half the athletes in the running this year. That could be part of it.

But I think you'll see from the threads in this section and similar boards that there is a lot of discussion about this year's Olympia.

Just check out the discussions about the debates about the top 5 that spring up in every posting of off-season photos and updates.

I kind of know what you mean. Not a whole lot of pictures or videos this year. That being said, I think there is an exciting line up brewing up and there really is no clear cut winner or even 2 or 3 that could. There are a few guys that are all hungry for the title and that makes is a bit more exciting for me.

ok guys thanks for your opinions and sorry for my english i want to improve it so i am typing here some posts.
I don t think that the whole campaign or event about olympia is bad or boring, no, i think that only during the last week i didn´t get as many information as i wanted about competitors. So, it´s only my opinion. Thank you for understanding very much guys

Compared to last year, there is much more hype going into the show this year, but i miss those vids, "Road to the Olympia" with Bob Cicherillo though.

Coverage is pretty quiet now, but it should pick up a bit... i think the last time there was this much doubt about who would win before the show was the 03 Olympia (Ronnie won in 02 looking less than his best, then lost to Gunther at the GNC, plus Jay was coming back to the O after taking a year off... turned out to be the biggest blowout ever, but leading in was pretty sweet).

You can make a case for SO many guys this year, who all have a shot at winning. With the exception of Toney Freeman, and probably Dennis Wolf, a legit case could be made for every athlete in this banner having a chance to win.

Ronnie is not competing = some of the hype is gone.
