About Mr. Olympia 2022

Mr. Olympia 2022

The 2022 Mr. Olympia is set to kick off on the 15th of December and will continue until the 18th of December. This year's event plays host to various big-name athletes who will look to become a part of history.

A total of 32 men have qualified for the 2022 Mr. Olympia Men's finals, while 63 men will compete for the classic physique title. Meanwhile, 18 women will present their contendership for the Ms. Olympia title, while 22 have a chance to win the Women's Physique Olympia.

The city of Las Vegas in Nevada will see this year's Sandow Trophy be lifted by the winner. The coveted trophy is named after German bodybuilding Eugen Sandow, who held the first official bodybuilding event in 1901 called 'The Great Competition.'

Mr. Olympia: A brief history

The mid-1960s saw Joe Weider give birth to the tournament known as Mr. Olympia. Its inaugural edition took place on 18th September 1965 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City. Larry Scott won the leadoff title and would come back to win again next year. In 1967, 'The Myth,' Sergio Oliva would display a level of definition that had never been seen before. Oliva took home the title for three consecutive years, from 1967 to 1969.

Oliva pipped out Arnold Schwarzenegger in the '69 Mr. Olympia final, marking Arnold's only loss in the competition. But in 1970, Schwarzenegger came back to defeat Oliva and lift his maiden Mr. Olympia title. Arnold would go on to win five more titles in consecutive years until 1975. He would come back in 1980 to win a record 7th title.

Two men hold the record number of most Mr. Olympia titles. The first man to achieve this feat was Lee Haney (1984-1991.) And the second was Ronnie Coleman (1998-2005.)

Mr. Olympia 2022 - All the Events

This year's Mr. Olympia competition will play host to various events in the Men's and Women's categories.

The two biggest events of the year are Mr. Olympia Men's Open and the Mr. Olympia Classic Physique categories. The rest of the events include -

Figure Olympia, 212 Olympia, Men's Physique Olympia, Ms. Olympia, Wheelchair Olympia, Fitness Olympia, Bikini Olympia, Women's Physique Olympia, and Wellness Olympia.

Mr. Olympia 2022 Men's Open

The main event in this year's tournament will be the 58th Mr. Olympia (Men's Open Category.) 32 men will pose for a chance to lift the famed Sandow Trophy and be crowned Mr. Olympia.

American bodybuilder Shaun Clarida has opted out of the event and will instead compete in the 212 division. Nathan De Asha, Regan Grimes, and Steve Kuclo will also not be seen at the event.

Two-time defending champion Mamdouh 'Big Ramy' Elssbiay will look to become only the ninth athlete to win three titles. The 2019 Mr. Olympia title winner, Brandon Curry, will also look to win the title. Heading into the event, 'Big Ramy' is the fan favorite to win.

Mr. Olympia 2022 Classic Physique

Another highlight event from this year's tournament will be the Classic Physique category. The division includes a staggering 63 participants looking to earn the title.

Three-time and current defending champion Chris Bumstead (CBum) will lock horns with two-time Olympia champ Breon Ansley. Should CBum win, he will be the first-ever athlete to win four titles in the division's seven-year history.

Terrence Ruffin is also a contender for the title, but experts believe CBum lifting the title is inevitable.
