After the completion of this year’s Mr. Olympia, it’s always a pleasure to talk about the classics. Bodybuilders can come and go but the classic heroes will remain in our hearts. Dorian Yates is someone who has witnessed the transformation that has happened on the Olympia stage. In an interview, he finally spoke about the fan following of bodybuilding compared to other sports.

The 6-time Mr. Olympia speculated about the recognition of bodybuilding.
