Ed v Amsterdam op de Mr Olympia 2009
Geschreven door Rhino
Wednesday 27 May 2009

Ed heeft een uitnodiging mogen ontvangen om dit jaar de Mr Olympia mee te doen, dit is natuurlijk ongelofelijk, na jaren eindelijk weer eens een Nederlander op de Mr Olympia

Iedereen zal begrijpen dat Ed in de wolken is, na zoveel tegenslag vorig jaar, 2x in een jaar een operatie aan een dubbele hernia en dan terug komen op de New York Pro, 3 covershoots voor de belangrijkste amerikaanse bladen (muscular devolepment,FLEX en de Muscle Mag) en een uitnodiging voor de Mr Olympia, ja dan doe je het toch nog steeds erg goed.

Team Amsterdam huh? I'm thinking Kenny Jones would place higher at the O.

"special" invitations are reserved for special circumstances...i.e.- a former Mr. O wants to compete again, a top competitor gets injured and is unable to qualify due to it...etc.

Offtopic (or maybe relevant to this topic): Why was Gunther invited a few times (2-3?). Was he injured?

Beats me...never should have happened

There was a lot of stuff like that that was tolerated by the old guard that was in place...times have changed

Ed was fortunate to receive an invitation to participate in the mr Olympia this year, this is ofcourse unbelievable, after years a dutch man is finally on the mr O stage again

Everybody can understand how excited Ed is about this, after a downfall last year, 2x in 1 year being operated on a double hernia and then making a comeback at the NY pro, 3 covershoots for the most important american magazines (MD, Flex, Musclemag) and an invitation for the mr O, well then you're still doing something very good.

No, he will not be granted a special invite. If he's going, he will have to qualify like everyone else

I know...pretty boring compared to the gay topics you're used to commenting on 20+ times a day.

Stick to what you know

Dont think of it as an "owning", but rather...a "moment of clarity"
