The most shocking turn of events at the 2022 Mr. Olympia was the final results of the men’s open division. Up until the last moment, many predicted Big Ramy to be the one lifting the trophy for his third consecutive year. However, not only he could not retain his title, he wasn’t even among the top three. And just like the millions watching, the bodybuilder himself still wonders what exactly went wrong.

Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay had occupied the Mr. Olympia throne for two consecutive years. This year too, most people expected Ramy to maintain his winning streak and strike a hat trick. But that dream came to an end when the winners were announced. Instead of placing first, Big Ramy placed fifth in this year’s tournament. However, not discouraged by the loss, Ramy is determined to find the reason for his downfall.

But what may come as a bigger surprise is that the bodybuilder himself has no answer. Talking about what went wrong, Ramy said he still could not put a finger on it. And the best solution the bodybuilder came up with to come out of the dilemma is to directly seek the answers from the judges.

“I don’t know exactly until right now because I have to ask the judge what’s the problem. Because it is their judgment and it’s very important. And then I have to ask them what the problem is. Why in this place when I will know what it is I will try to fix it,” said helpless Big Ramy.

Big Ramy’s future goals

The defeat has shaken him up to the core. However, it wasn’t enough to make the bodybuilder pack his bags and never return. Taking it as a wake-up call that there is still room for improvement, Ramy plans to present his improved version in the competitions next year.

Sharing what he has in mind for next year, Ramy said, “If you mean how I feel about the show, after the show, I’m feeling I really need to have a great plan to be back again to the show. That’s what’s in my head all the time right now. I need to make a great plan for next year to get my title again.”
