2012 Olympia - Kai Greene got robbed!

[Papper]

Quit whining, he came in second,  this is how things work. You win the year before you get crowned, and if you can come in the same conditioning the following year your crowned.

Incredible bar has been set now.  Phil has to duplicate this condition every year now.

That is a REALLy good point.

[MB]

That part was sarcastic, they really were 1 point apart

According to the scorecard Phil won with straight firsts.

that just shows that judges either don't have their own opinion or that it was a clear win, it certainly wasnt a clear win.

"you have to knock out the champ two years in a row to beat him"

There's a full group of guys on stage, if it were boxing only the number one contender would of had a shot at the champ.

This is what kai has won, so quit saying he lost already.

[Radical Plato]

If bodybuilding contests are to progress, the Mr Olympia needs to do away with the tradition of picking the same guy as the winner year after year, the judging is subjective anyway, and trends change year after year, would it matter that much if you picked a different winner each year?, mixed it up a little to make it interesting for the fan and give the other competitors a realistic chance of winning.

Ya wtf, Bobs trolling fucked us up bigtime, what an asshole, every forum was thinking the same thing, 1 point difference, but your right he did win with straight first, Bob should not have said that.

Straight firsts? I really don't get it. So 90 percent of getbig are seeing things according to the "judges". It's not like the majority of us misunderstand judging either...and it can't be down to the usual argument that Kai has "a more pleasing physique" "more aesthetic" that you hear from some past arguments for other competitions. It's the judging that should favour him; Kai was bigger, harder, posed better, had better taper, better midsection for their relative muscular bulk and complied with the rules. Something isn't right at all.

No he didnt! He got a 14, which means he got some second place votes. If you get straight firsts your score would be a 5.

Actually the score card that showed him with 14 and Kai with 28 was fake, I know sounds fucked but some idiot made up an entire score card and posted it, it ended up being fake the real one that Manion posted had Phil with 10, Kai with 20 and Shawn with 31

Even with a 10 he got a few 2nd place scores.

How do you know Phil received 2nd place scores?  The high and low scores were thrown out, so no one knows those scores.  The 5 judges scores that were counted each had Phil in 1st, both Friday and Saturday.

If he got a perfect score he would have scored a 5.

There are 2 rounds (Friday & Saturday).  He scored a 5 in each round for a total of 10 pts.

Phil has a mor pleasing physique which helps, but he is taller and looked bigger.  The inner lats and traps are way bigger, on the MM, Kai's arms looked small while Phil ballooned up.  It was close but Phil gets the edge.
