2021 Olympia - Florida - October 7-10th

[Taffin]

Let's call for Ramy

 

[BB]

Not much to get annoyed about except Labrada's gift decision :shrug:.

[MCWAY]

Elssbiay wins it. I had him in third.

I could see him winning it last near, not this year. Curry looked better to me.

Whoever is broadcasting this feed keeps talking over it.

Yeah, I kind of agree - I'd have maybe swapped Choopan for Curry.  Happy with Ramy taking it again.  I actually thought Hunter was pretty good - put it this way, I'm glad he beat out Walker

Wonder if Bonac got 6th - let's see the scorecard to see the rest of the fallout

If you could have heard the feed, Haney and Ray kept saying you've got the knock the champ out.  With Choopan's condition, and him picking up the audience favourite award (like Ramy last year) I thought he had a shot - shows what I know LOL

I had him second. To me, his body is in better proportion and better condition than that of Ramy. That's why I picked him second. I put Curry first because he fits right in between the two. HIs proportions are almost as good as Choopan but he's bigger. And Curry certainly has better proportions that Ramy, despite giving up size.

Again, had Ramy been as ripped as last year, I could swallow his win. Not this time.

[BB]

I like Choopan, but I just can't get around the shoulders. Unless he can fix that, he'll always be a top 3 and not a winner.

I really liked Brandon, I wanted him to win, but whatever. Seeing all three on stage together, made me more comfortable with it being a toss up.

Just not liking the Labrada decision. I don't even like Walker's Physique, but the weird pec oil/homunculus/wtfthatwas, plus the water carrying just made me shake my head. I see him in 6th or so.

2) Shawn Clarida
3) Kamal Algargni (51 yo!!)
4) Angel Calderon Frias (1st Olympia)
5) Nathan Epler (1st Olympia)

I read about the guy who placed 3rd. I believe he became part of Kuwait's team as an "amateur" and got paid $180,000 a year, a car, and a house (owned or leased, I'm not sure) by the Kuwaiti government. And this was BEFORE he became an IFBB pro.

I competed against Kamal in 2007. To this day he’s one of my favorite 212 and below bodybuilders.

It's always difficult to knock off the current champ.  Unless a challenger is way better than the current champ they lose.  It shouldn't be that way, but it has been for decades.

If Bumstead had better biceps his physique would be modern version of Bob Paris.

[stuntmovie]

What was CBum's Olympia cash award this year?

Chris has an estimated net worth of $777,000 as of 2021 according to some Net Worth website.
