Who is defo in and out for next year?

Will Phil do it again?

Who is your underdog for next year and why?

 

[roy@/_]

Levrone will win it.

 

[huntingground]

Big Ronnie, inspired by Kev this year, is making the big comeback and will smash it.

 

[JustJ]

Phil to win again.

Dexter retires beforehand.

No returning 90s stars.

Dullest Olympia in years unless they can persuade Kai back.

 

[RS86]

Roelly made some massive changes for this years olympia, looked best I can remember seeing him. Could he push for the win next year?

 

[TwoCanVanDamn]

Sergio Olivio rises from the dead and takes the title with firsts across the board after being inspired by Levrones comeback

 

[Getbig25]

1st - Phil
2nd - Shaun
3rd - Ramy
4th - Dex

Dex won't retire. Phil will get another win

 

[mal]

ryan terry for top spot maybe,everything else the same...maybe flex wheeler gets the golden ticket lol.

 

[Guest1337]

Ashkanani will beat flex in the 212

 

[tomlet1]

Omlette and @TinyTim will put on the required mass during thier bulk to take the olympia by storm.

 

[tomlet1]

Dexter on him retiring.

 

[JustJ]

Good find. A year's a long time, though, and I'd be willing to bet if he picks up an injury that'll be it.

Be interested to see if Wolf comes back as I've always liked his physique and he seems a decent guy.

But it'll be Phil again. I just can't get that worked up about his look. Just think Dorian and Ronnie looked a different class.

wish flex lexis would man up and enter open class ,would never win but his physique is so much better than when he gets down to 212 the difference is literally night and day top ten easy

man up? he is a long time running 212 champ and that is worth holding onto as a legacy than to step up a division where he is out massed by 70-80lbs by some.
As much as some people would like to see this, its a foolish move IMO.
Sure the prize money sucks in 212 but the value it has earned him to his name is worth millions from endorsements.
Most top 10 olympia finishers do not have supplement contracts anymore, winklaar AFAIK still has no main endorsement, its hard going these days. Long gone are the 90s era contracts floating about for the top 10 guys...

flex has it all, champion.

why move up to become top 10 at best in a division that is dying on its arse drawing its last breaths in terms of marketability?

Rumor has it Arnolds Ego is competing and has already won....
