It's never too early to start thinking about Olympia Weekend. That's our theory anyway. With just over 14 weeks to go, and even though there are four contests remaining - the Houston Pro, the Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships, the Europa Super Show and the Atlantic City Pro - and potentially 12 more qualifiers, we decided to give our early take on what's in store. With 19 qualifiers already in the books and set to take the stage at the Orleans Arena on September 26-27, we decided to stay true to the host city of Las Vegas and offer our view on the on the opening line for each competitor.
