Title: 2019 Olympia - Candid and Backstage Pictures by Ron Avidan
Post by: Ron on September 15, 2019, 10:58:00 PM
It has been an incredible Olympia - and still in Vegas after a fun photoshoot today.  Will be putting up various links, including backstage, candids and more over the next few days updating.

Of course, the main pics are the stage shots, from my friend Jeff Binns (who we just had dinner tonight)

Re: 2019 Olympia - Thursday Check In Photos

Catching up slowly on all out here, back from the 2019 Olympia, in which I had a great time!

Here are some more pics from the events that I took


These are the 2019 Olympia IFBB Pro Meetings, in which the competitors learn about what to do, where to go, get their number, and learn the schedule.
  This is where I get to meet the competitors for the first time (some new, some old friends)

These meetings are for IFBB Pro Figure, IFBB Pro Bikini, IFBB Pro Men's Physique, IFBB Pro Wheelchair, IFBB Pro Fitness, IFBB Pro Men's Physique and IFBB Pro Women's Physique

Yes, there were a lot of posters that each Olympian was signing - pretty cool.

Re: 2019 IFBB Olympia Friday Evening Finals Candid and Backstage Photos

The 2019 Olympia contest on Friday night featured Men's Bodybuilding Prejudging, Figure, and the Finals of the Bodybuilding 212lb and Under Division.  Here are behind the scenes and backstage pics by Ron Avidan.

Friday night was the first of two contests for the Olympia events at the Orleans Arena. Thursday evening featured the 'Meet the Olympians' at the arena and was free to the public. I was there to document some of the behind the scenes and backstage pictures as the evening went through.  This year we had a new changing of the guard from last year in terms of products. Dan Solomon became the Chief Olympia Officer, and Tamer El-Guindy became the Production Manager making sure all aspects went well this evening.  It did.

Here is the gallery, please click on the link to go to the pics

Yes, it is.  He was at the Finals in the Second row on the side.


Shaq was actually very cool backstage - at least he does not tower over me :)

Interesting, I thought he was banned from the Olympia completely this year, not just from competing. He must have kept a very low profile.

Great photos Ron, what's your setup? I'm also a Canon guy, 5D Mark II specifically.

Very bad decision to stop him competing
Must’ve been awful watching them give his trophy to someone else.
