The most prestigious competition in bodybuilding is about to go down, as athlete from around the world gather to compete. Here is a complete guide to watching the 2020 Mr. Olympia online.
Joe Weider’s Mr. Olympia Weekend is the most highly anticipated and important contest in all of bodybuilding. Athletes from around the world gather to put their physiques to the test against one another and see who is the best bodybuilder in the world.
Typically the contest goes down in September, but due to the global pandemic the decision was made to push it back to December 17-20th. In addition to that, about a month out from the event, a change in public gathering restrictions forced the venue to be changed from Las Vegas to Orlando.
Despite these setbacks, the 2020 Mr. Olympia will price with a ton of reasons to be excited about it. One of the most interesting storylines heading into it is the return of seven-time champion Phil Heath, as he attempts to reclaim his throne and make history with his eighth victory. Looking to stand in his way is 2019 champ Brandon Curry, who hopes to quiet the doubters and retain his title. Between this, the ultra stacked Classic Physique division, the return of the Ms. Olympia, and more, there is so much to be pumped for this year.
