It was a good decision.  His height shouldn't have anything to do with it, however he just looks a lot better than the guys who are 6 inches shorter but weigh the same.  Hadi and Lunsford just look like bloated balls of muscle, not a good look.  If a short guy comes along who has the aesthetic looks and perfect balance he should get the win, but there aren't any of those right now.  On a side note, wasn't this the 6th or 7th Olympia in a row with a new winner?  Something that's never happened before.
