Are u kidding me? ???

Definitely not as well conditioned.

He's getting roasted in his IG comments.
"Derek i hope you see the photos and see yourself besides Hadi, it does not take rocket science to figure out, heck even to the naked eye Hadi came in with a better package. It’s disheartening to see him get robbed, you may carry the trophy but deep down you’ll always know he had the better physique."

The clean-shaven white guy is more marketable.

There's always those that will Cry over the results.
The Judges have the best live view & they placed him 1st
is that simple.
Become a Judge & work your way up to Olympia level judging
& see how many will disagree wit your choices.
Stop your Crying FFS.

I get the sentiment, but this one seems egregious.
What is the argument for Lunsford here?
Just that he must have looked better live?
-
Maybe the judges are tired of seeing Hadi’s injection sites?

Yes - if he looked better live then that's why they placed him 1st
You answered your own question :)

Lots of special lateral raises built that small mountain

All comparisons in 4k, you be the judge

Social media has changed how things are being judged as I agree marketability would be at play here.
Shortness doesn’t really show on video as much as in RL.
I would like to see a thread that correctly ranks the competitors from first to last based on proper judging requirements.

I've judged many contests up to NABBA Pro Universe
how they look in vids & pics isn't always a fair representation
of how they look from the judges seats.
That's not to say I like or agree with the placings.
Only I wasn't there in person & judging.
post as many pics & vids as you like it wont change the results.

Derek is a giant among men. he deserves to be Mr. Olympia!

They have the same color! ;D

Another one who misses the point it is a who's the Tallest competition.
Carry on. ::)

How To Improve the Mr. Olympia for 2026:
(As long as the bodybuilders survive until then and are still alive)
1. Fire Bob and replace him with Shaq.
2. Let Ronnie sit on stage on a folding chair to direct the bodybuilders. If he sees nonsense, he can have them removed.
3. Have the bodybuilders called out onto the stage at random times. Some should be forced to pose longer than others. Make them work harder. Don’t tell them when they will be called out. Make them wait or not wait. Keep them guessing.
4. Get rid of the expo. Get rid of all shows except whatever you call the final show where guys like Derek and Peanut Butter Jar compete in.
5. Create the shame round. Whoever looked the worst previous year must go out 1st and prove they belong. The 1st bodybuilder to be faced with this should be Peanut Butter Jar Walker.
6. Move the show to morning. Show should only be 1-1.5 hours. Get rid of the pre-judging.

Hadi was a sore loser last year. There's a price to be paid for that behavior on the sports biggest stage. He has the worst oil filled delts since Kevin English. His calves are showing signs of nerve damage and going the way of Dennis Wolf. He can barely flex them anymore. Finally, the sheiks of Dubai don't get so excited about flying in one of their own thong warriors.

Agreed. Judges are infallible and never make mistakes.

Who are you gonna believe? The judges or your lying eyes?

No judges are not infallible.
Only the judges were split between Derek & Hadi - Derek was to far ahead in the
Prejudging for had to catch up & win.
As I said earlier Become a judge & work your way up to the Olympia level
& see how many folk disagree with your decisions - its so easy to be judgemental
When its not you who's being questioned.
Carry on. ::)

Shia Iranians and Sunni Arabs have a problematic relationship FYI, outright enemies a lot of the time. Though I don't know if Hadi has been in Dubai or other Arab states. The US is more on the side of the Sunni at the moment, whether that affects Hadi I can't say. The Irani bb fans on social media are pretty insufferable for sure. But so are the Arabs, very ethnocentric fans, the Muslim or Arab is always the rightful winner. Brazilians are very nationalistic also.

This is how it should have gone.
1. Andrew
2. Hadi
3. Martin
4. Derek
5. Sampson
6. Brandon*
7. Nick
*Brandon could have been as high as 4th moving Derek and Sampson down to 5th and 6th respectively.

Softest “Mr. Olympia” of all time. Just disgraceful.

Andre jacked should of won
He looks better than that sack of shit lumpsford

Of course they do haha
So you actually believe that all the winners and placings over the years all got the right placings? ::)
2007 Olympia comes to mind, also 2002, so many others to mention as well
Of course you are a judge , explains everything :D

Just how thick & stupid are you
No I do not always agree with the judges final results.
I Couldn't care any less if you believe I'm a NABBA judge. Why on earth would I lie,
What to try & impress other anonymous posters on a bodybuilding forum ::)
FFS Get a life.
You carry on & believe what you want.

Mr Oilympia was so outstanding that The Almighty Ron himself has been stunned into silence.

It promised a prospect of a great Mr Olympia with 4 Olympia winners competing
Yet sadly it was a very poor Mr Olympia the quality of the competitors left much
To be desired & the amount of oil in them all was enough to fill an oil tanker.

I do not follow the IFBB shows, so I don’t know this...
I just found out that Derek tore his pecs 4 weeks prior to the 2025 Olympia.

LMFAO!

I don't think we can underestimate the politics. A good white christian family man... (Lunsford)

I remember when Jay Cutler placed ahead of Big Ramy at his last Olympia. This was probably the most egregious misjudging I have ever seen. The judging is just BS. Why do ppl act surprised every year?

Despite all the politics and subjectivity I actually find it amazing how "correctly" they seem to judge if you go by fan feedback. Of course there are many complaints but it could be much worse if it was "all politics." Many did think Lunsford as winner was at least acceptable even if they'd rather see nr 2 or 3 as winner. Surely if politics was real bad Hadi wouldn't be so close to winning in the US.
I think Lunsford's lack of arm separation and cuts is mostly genetic. Few look as hard as Hadi, again genetic, because they all do the same things pretty much.

You were an INCEL back then.
And you are an INCEL now.

Didn't a bodybuilder years back once say "Good thing the fans aren't judging," or something to that effect?
Can't recall who said that.

Hi Aceto
sounding like a true technician there
Hadi was robbed (AGAIN)
WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Victor Terra should have won !! ;)

I don't know but if the fans decided the mohammedans would be winning all shows, absolutely rabid fans. "Americans" or "whites" are more objective, might even give a win to an Iranian :D

My bad, lol

You are comparing Jay to Derek, lol.

You mean the clean-shaven white (US-)American? I really start believing there is something behind it.
-
He won this battle but is he ready for the next?
Bodybuilding is brutal war

Really - Then explain Lee Haney 8 x winner
Ronnie Coleman 8 x Winner
Phil Heath 7 x winner
They're were plenty of alternative White Men to 'Give' The title to
So explain 23yrs of Black men winning if its all down to marketing

You read my reply you know what to do

Black doesn’t mean unmarketable. Hell, Coleman is one of the most marketable bodybuilders ever.
Ramy, on the other hand, was an Arab bodybuilder who didnt speak English well and hardly spent any time in the US. It’s kinda hard to market a foreigner who doesn’t speak the language. Or Kai Greene. It would have been a disaster for the IFBB if their top bodybuilder was some stripper who fucked a grapefruit on camera.

Lundsford had more size but Hadi was far sharper. The olympia judges made a tough call. Andrew jacked has holes in his physique that hold him back and samson was totally underwhelming. Walker look ed terrible.

Black people convert a bit lower for my advertising actually.
You need someone truly outstanding to get past that from my experience and at times I’ve found some people like that.
I work within part of this specific niche.
White and Hispanic work better and Asians less than that, but they convert better than blacks.
Usually this fact is in indicated in how much the influencers are asking.

I was asking Malanore as he stated it was a marketing issue.
Clearly not as those multi olympia winner show.

no argument other than to raise the point that just about everything comes down to genetics in bb - ability to repond to drugs, ability to tolerate insane doses thereof, to not fall apart from questionable site injections etc. ANd though I'm focussing on the drugs clearly, I'm not doing that to throw shade. The days of someone with a genetically awesome v-taper and vacuum etc but a little less freaky size seem over. For the record, I couldn;t compete with any of these guys in my wildest dreams.
