Olympia in different countries again?
« on: April 27, 2009, 08:28:36 AM »
Do you think the Olympia should be held outside of vegas in the future?
Back in the past it was held in Italy,Finland,Germany etc
I mean there are fans worldwide who would love to see it and apparantly ticket sales are down in vegas the last few years

Yes i think it should go back to being worldwide but im sure Chick will chime in and say the numbers dont add up ::)
also i think the supp companies that are the main sponsors and have all their booths at the Olympia weekend might prefer it stays in the US

Well Fibo is massive each year so the supplement companies needn't worry too much
I know its hardly the World Cup but it would add an edge to it being held in a different country each year
And would help bodybuilding become more recognised worldwide (we just cant let Kai attend it) haha

But every year??
Do you not think a break of about 5yrs would make vegas even more special when the olympia returns to it
How about London
               Germany
               Dubai,India
               Rio
               Moscow

It'd be pretty good I reckon

The IFBB are nuts to continue with a formula that doesn't work. Only a few years ago, the Mr O was held at Mandalay Bay, now it's held off the strip because they couldn't get the numbers.

It was better in the 90s when they moved city, year by year. A much better atmosphere too when your see the Youtube clips of people blowing horns when Dorian dominated.

Only thing against moving it would be that most competitors would be getting stopped at the airports for trying to smuggle their diuretics through.

Not within the next 25 years.

Have an Olympia-Europe or something if you're desperate.
