The 2021 Mr. Olympia took place October 7th-10th, in Orlando, Florida. This is a complete breakdown of all the action that happened in the biggest bodybuilding competition in the world.
The Olympia is the premier platform for bodybuilders around the world, where the best in the world showcase their physiques to determine who is number one. All year long, competitors have worked to qualify for this contest, either by winning other IFBB Pro shows, or earning enough points from competing throughout the year, to earn an invitation to this contest.
Included among the 11 divisions competing was the first ever Wellness competition to take place on the Mr. O stage, which is a division made up of ladies who are judged on their overall physiques, with specific attention paid to the hips, calves, and thighs. The other ten divisions on the roster were, of course, the Men’s Open, as well as 212, Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Ms. Olympia, Fitness, Figure, Women’s Physique, and Wheelchair competitions.
That said, without a doubt, the biggest draw is always the Open Bodybuilding division, where this year’s Mr. Olympia was crowned. Heading into the contest, reigning champ Big Ramy seemed to be unstoppable, but with a lineup filled with former champs, veterans, and young prospects, it was far from a sure thing that he would win. That said, if he was able to bring the same type of physique with him that he had last year, fans knew that nobody could walk over him.
Unfortunately there were some fan favorite names missing from this year’s contest, such as 7x Open champion Phil Heath, as well as 7x 212 Olympia champ Flex Lewis, and 2020 Bikini champion Janet Layug. Nevertheless, the contest was still an exciting one to watch, with unexpected moments taking place throughout, and the athletes competing for prize money that totaled just under $1.6 million.
