2021 Olympia Predictions
Before predicting the winner of the 2021 Olympia, first, we’ll see about the last 5 years winners of Mr. Olympia.
● Phil Heath: Winner of Mr. Olympia Year 2011 - 2017 (7 times Mr. Olympia winner)
● Shawn Rhoden: Winner of Mr. Olympia Year 2018
● Brandon Curry: Winner of Mr. Olympia Year 2019
● Mamdouh Elssbiay (Big Ramy): Winner of Mr. Olympia Year 2020
Last year Big Ramy won the title of Mr. Olympia and Brandon Curry was the runner-up. The seventh time Mr. Olympia Phill Heath managed to secure third position and Hadi Choopan was in the fourth position in Mr. Olympia 2020.
Big Ramy was looking bigger than ever. Many fans wanted to see Phill Heath come back but last time he was not able to fix his mid-section and this is the reason why he got the third position in Mr. Olympia 2020. Same with Brandon Curry, He was looking great, but his legs are his weak point and because of this, he came second. In Mr. Olympia. It will be exciting to see whether Big Ramy will fight to retain his title of Mr. Olympia or Phill Heath the seven times Mr. Olympia will reclaim his title back.
