Does anyone have pictures of that particular event? I've been looking everywhere but seems like someone doesn't want the damn thing to be remembered.
I wanna see his bitchtits and one leg. Please bring it on!

why, your mom has stopped breast feeding you?

Nah, I was just finished raping your sister and wanted something else to do.

This is the last show Mike competed in and , frankly, when ever I have brought it up, he does not like to talk about it...although he is happy to tell you how he did place ahead of Ken Waller :)

Here you go.

Thank you very much!
Franco does seem a bit off. Further analyzis awaits.

did franco always have noticeable gyno?

Columbu or Columbu's

No just at this contest if I'm not mistaken.
-
Too bad Danny Padilla wasn't Arnold's best friend. He would've won the '81 Olympia. :-X

Care for one of your in-depth analyzis of this contest? :D
-
Danny got jobbed.
-
WTF.
Mike Platz destroys the competition.

Franco shouldn't have won lol not with bitch tits and zero legs but again this is just based on a few photos I've never seen any video so my opinion is very limited I'm surprised Platz placed ahead of Danny , Danny looks the best in my opinion .
-
From the comparison pics, Franco looks as though he should've finished behind Danny, Platz and Dickerson.
-
Here you go.
Does Columbo have gyno?

Franco Columbusdude

Yes, but when you're best friend is the promoter that just won't happen.

Easily put Callender ahead of Franco, too.
-
I admit that I'm not really an expert on judging this stuff but to me, from those pictures, I would put Platz well ahead of everyone. Well ahead.
-
ND...good show getting all these photos up...btw...got one of Waller? He was in it too...placed second to last ahead of Raty.

Exactly.

Look at the Biceps on Jorma Raty, dude won the IFBB worlds in 1980 amateur under 80kg class.
-
I was at the show, both pre-judging and night show, and I would have had Platz in 1st with Roy Callendar in 2nd and Padilla 3rd. Franco's upper body looked great (except for the gyno) but his legs had zero separation in the quads. Since Platz, Padilla, Callendar and Dickerson all had great legs, I couldn't see Franco beating any of those guys. The top three were DEFINITELY Platz, Callendar and Padilla. The audience knew it and the booing started right after they announced Danny in 5th. People were throwing things at the stage and booing like crazy. I never saw anything like it before or since. Arnold took pictures with Franco and the Sandow trophy backstage, not onstage. It was crazy!

Was it true Weider high-tailed it out of there as quickjly as he could?
-
Yeah, they didn't stay on stage too long because the audience was booing like crazy!! They were also booing Arnold earlier in the night when he came to the mike and spoke to the crowd. Arnold was very unpopular that year because of his controversial 1980 Olympia win. They showed a clip of the upcoming "Conan the Barbarian" and Arnold didn't seem bothered by the boos at all. It was almost like he knew he was going to be a major movie star in the next year or so.
-
I betcha under his breath, he was saying, "F--- these Americans...I will soon own them."
One of the pros from many years ago (Hate to do this, but I'd rather not say who) told me that Arnold actually feels that most Americans were/ are, in his words, weak and lazy.
Of course, now, he could never aver this as Governor.

In all of this mess, how did Franco react? I mean it's unlikely he didn't realize what a theft his win was and he couldn't be too proud recieving that trophy with hundreds of people booing at him.

probably the same way as Arnold handled it the year before

Didn't seem to bother him at all. He still did his characteristic jump in the air and stayed onstage and smiled for pictures with the trophy. When he was Pro Bodybuilding Weekly last year, he claims he was the rightful winner. ::)

He didn't have gyno, he had gynu

it's 28 years later, and people are still talking about whether he deserved to win the 80 Olympia. because of internet forums, more people are talking about it now than did a few years after it occurred.
and because of sites like musclememory, we know exactly who placed where for all the major contests. Arnold's statement is implying only the winners get remembered. the internet changed that.
-
Excellent post, and, in essence, YOU helped him become wrong-thanks! ;)
-
People are forgetting that the back is the key muscle group that wins contest. I'm sure Franco's back was far better than anyone else's.
-
1980 & 1981 were THE worst 2 Olympia's in its current history - & we think it's political now?!

Well, it's safe to say that the Olympia '07 put alot of people off bodybuilding. Whereas, alot on here have said that Arnold deserved the win in '80. Franco is another story, though.

Yeh Olympia '07 was a close 3rd to these 2!!

In all honesty, I can see a valid reason to give Jay the Olympia, but like alot of Olympia's, any of the top 5 could have talen it.

Notwithstanding that Columbo got a gift, the guy's low lat insertions look incredible in that front double-bi on the first page.

1. Platz
2. Padilla
3. Callender
4. Dickerson
5. Jessup

Yes he did. End of Thread.

Franco was actually in great shape, his upper body looked very thick and hard (great abs) and he even had calves. It was just that his lack of quad separation was so non-existent, there is no way he deserved higher than fifth place. One thing I did notice was that Franco was flexing all the time, even when everyone was standing relaxed in the line-up. Back in 1981, when the bodybuilders stood in line for the relaxed round, everyone was really relaxed, not like today where everyone looks like they are smuggling grapefruits under their arms. Franco was flexing his whole upper body all the time which made him look harder than everyone else. When I look at the pictures now, Padilla looks almost perfect but when I was watching the show live, he looked almost too gaunt and lean and he wasn't very aggressive onstage. Franco was very aggressive as was Roy Callendar, who was in the best shape of his life and was very confident onstage. Platz had the best combination of size (about 15 pounds heavier than the year before), definition and just total confidence that he had done everything right all year long to look the best he could have possibly looked. The crowd was behind Platz all the way and I really feel like he should have won that night.
-
tough call...but I would say between Padilla or Platz....it would be Padilla over tom by a close margin
The only reason would be symmetry. Tom's lower half just over powers his upper body

Good post...Arnold likely told Franco to keep tensing his muscles when everyone wlse was not....just an Austrian trick...another typical, Austrian trick.... ;)

100% true

Tom,
How those legs looking these days?

From those pics, a few competitors got robbed.

Is this the real Tom Platz? If so, get that man some Blue Stars!
-
Could a physique look more perfect than Padilla's?
The problem with Platz was that he was a little narrow (and his legs still over-powered his upper body). Imagine if he hadn't torn his bicep the next year!
-
Either could have / should have won...and yes, Padilla pretty much has no weak points...
