2022 Olympia Predictions

[Kayce]

Each year, the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness calls the winner of its professional men's bodybuilding contest Mr. Olympia at Joe Weider's Olympia Fitness and Performance Weekend. Joe Weider created the competition for the Mr. Universe winners to continue competing and earn money. Dan Solomon posted a video on Instagram on December 10, 2021, detailing essential details about the upcoming Mr. Olympia in 2022. Following Mr. Olympia in 2021, it was announced that the venue would return to Las Vegas. Naturally, this came after the organization relocated its venue to Florida for 2020 and 2021 due to coronavirus restrictions in Nevada.


The History of Mr. Olympia

Larry Scott won his first of two consecutive Mr. Olympia titles on September 18, 1965, and 1975 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in NYC. Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman hold the record for most wins with eight each, and Big Ramy is the current champion.
Pumping Iron depicted the build-up to the 1975 Mr. Olympia in Pretoria, South Africa. It helped launch Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno's acting careers.
Ms. Olympia, a female bodybuilder, is also crowned, as are the winners of the Fitness Olympia and Figure Olympia competitions for fitness and figure competitors. All four matches take place on the same weekend. A Masters Olympia was also crowned from 1994 to 2003 and again in 2012.

2022 Mr. Olympia Qualification System
Even though the 2022 Mr. Olympia is still a few months away, athletes are already beginning to qualify for the competition. This year's qualification system has been broken down, as well as the deadline for competitors to earn their invitations.
Being one of the most exciting events to be held recently, the 2021 Olympia is still fresh in all minds, whether athletes or fans. It featured divisions that had never been seen on the big stage before, as well as new champions being crowned and reigning champions defending their The bodybuilding world, nonetheless, never sleeps, and the machine keeps chugging along as athletes begin to qualify for next year's competition. Now, thanks to an Instagram post, we have a better idea of what the qualification season will be like next year, including the fact that competitors can qualify between September 13, 2021, and November 20, 2022.

According to tradition, the winners of every IFBB Pro show during the qualification window will be invited to Mr. Olympia in 2022. In addition, the top five Open bodybuilders and the top three in each other division from this year's Olympia automatically qualify.

Despite not winning, athletes earn points. At the end of the qualification period, top three athletes in each division will be invited. Those who qualified for this year's show but could not compete due to pandemic-related issues have already been awarded five points.

2022 Mr. Olympia Prediction

Hany Rambod, Phil Heath's coach, has announced that he will not compete in this year's Mr. Olympia in an attempt to reclaim his title. Phill Heath has won Mr. Olympia seven times, but Shawn Rhoden defeated him in 2018.

Big Ramy won the Mr. Olympia competition in 2021, with Brandon Curry coming in second. Phil Heath was in third place, and Hadi Choopan was in fourth place.

Brandon Curry
Brandon Curry was in great shape, but his legs were his weak point, and he finished in second place as a result. Curry has been near the top of the Men's Open for years. He has crowned Mr. Olympia in 2019 and has placed second in the competition for the past two years. Curry will attempt to reclaim his title from Big Ramy, but first and foremost, he wants to win the Arnold Classic.

Nick Walker
Nick Walker began his Mr. Olympia preparation for 2022 with a chest and triceps session with his new coach. Nick has made several significant changes in his bodybuilding career in the last few weeks. Nick switched from Revive MD to Hosstile Supplements. His coach, Matt Jansen, was replaced by Dominick Brandon Mutascio, a.k.a "Dom Supersliced." Dom is putting Nick Walker through new routines, focusing on every detail that will undoubtedly improve Nick's physique even more. We will look forward to seeing him on the stage.

Mr. Olympia is one of the most anticipated events of the year. It is definitely going to turn all of us on the edge of our seats. 2022's Mr. Olympia is going to be epic. I have shared my predictions about the event. However, these are mere predictions, and a sport like this can take any turn at any given moment. But, like all of you, I am equally excited and eager for Mr. Olympia 2022. Let's see what actually happens on the stage!
