2019 Olympia - Changes discussion with Dan Solomon
« on: May 05, 2019, 10:49:37 PM »


Long interview with Dan Solomon, newly Chief Olympia Officer, on what he does, and what changes, including promoters happening with the 2019 Olympia.

Interesting if you want to know what is going on...

Still around, but not in the media anymore - went on to other things in our industry.

At least you got posing oil at the biggest show of the year.

I've heard horror stories about canola oil being used at the Pittsburgh Pro...

Pretty sure you were not backstage at the 2007 Olympia, but I was.  One of my favorite pictures backstage was of Ronnie Coleman, who had placed 4th here, and pretty much knew it was his last O.     Pretty sure Dan was in front watching the contest back then.

He snuck back stage, if you get my drift.

For the 2019 Olympia Weekend, all eight Olympia Pro Divisions Finals will now be held on the Arena Stage.
 That includes Men's Physique and Women's Physique Division, which have not.

Dan Solomon made this announcement at the 2019 IFBB New York Pro finals.


Also, they have increased the Women's Prize money this year...

No, it's actually 2020.  There is however going to be a qualifier in 2019 for 2020.
