Title: 2012 Olympia - Final Mr. Olympia qualified competitor list
Post by: Ron on September 09, 2012, 06:39:06 AM
These were the Mr. Olympia competitors qualified before this weekend

1. Lionel Beyeke, France
2. Evan Centopani, USA
3. Jay Cutler, USA
4. Phil Heath, USA
5. Kai Greene, USA
6. Dexter Jackson, USA
7. Johnnie Jackson, USA
8. Michael Kefalianos, Australia
9. Victor Martinez, Dominican Republic
10. Cedric McMillan, USA
11. Juan Morel, USA
12. Essa Obaid, UAE
13. Shawn Rhoden, USA
14. Ronny Rockel, Germany
15. Branch Warren, USA
16. Bill Wilmore, USA
17. Roelly Winklaar, Netherlands
18. Dennis Wolf, Germany


These six qualified via the Olympia Qualification Series (in which the top 5 point getters get to go to the Olympia). They were

1. Toney Freeman, USA, 11 points
2. Ben Pakulski, Canada, 10 points
3. Hidetada Yamagishi, Japan, 7 points
3. Balto Abbaspour, Iran, 7 points
5. John Delarosa, USA, 6 points
5. Fred Smalls, USA, 6 points

(Because Fred Smalls and John DeLarosa tied, and also tied by what placing they placed at a contest - they both are qualified for the O)


Congratulations to all that qualified...


We also know that Jay Cutler and Victor Martinez are not competing too...


Press Conference will start on the Thursday at 12 before the Olympia.

Agree that it's sad jay didn't compete. I actually find him an entertaining protagonist in the bb world. Would have loved to see him wip an off phil off the stage, however unlikely it would have been.

Now I'm mostly looking forward to Lionel and what improvements he can bring. Probably won't place well, it's his first Mr O. I think so that means Branch Warren will place ahead no matter how repulsive a state he can put himself in

So you are getting the same number of guys that competed last year.

What if De la Rosa was training and dieting for the O then got bumped out? 

Point system is dumb. As dumb as the Challenge Round

Cue "The most competitive line-up in years" followed three weeks from now by "the shittiest '0 since 1981".

The funniest part is that none of these guys cared about accumulating points.  All this did is qualify some lower tier guys which is exactly what we had before.

You mean the painful attempts by chick and dan trying hype the no names and make it out like the top 5 isn't already on the score sheets?

Chick is a brilliant spokesman for the sport and a master at wordplay: a cliffhanger is immediately followed by a hangover.
