To be honest, I don't think Sergio Oliva Jr deserves to be at this Mr Olympia.
What I mean is: I feel he didn't "win" his qualification. I used to always hear Branch Warren saying "If I don't win a show, then I don't deserve to be there" and I have to agree with that statement.
Especially for someone with that name, Oliva, you have to at least win a show, and only then think about competing in the big O. It's all about the champion mindset.
It is completely useless to compete for 16th place. Look at Phil Heath, he skipped the first 2 Olympias before really feeling ready to compete there and battle for the top 3-5.
