The IFBB 202 Showdown contest at the 2008 Olympia Weekend
Kudos to the creative team who run the 2008 Olympia Weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, for providing a special contest for the IFBB pros who are under 202 pounds.On Saturday, September 27th, 12 competitors, all who have to be 202 pounds or under, will take the stage at the Las Vegas expo stage, and battle it out. The winner takes $7,500. Second place $3,000. Third place $1,500.
Now here comes the interesting part. If you are qualified for the Mr. Olympia, you can’t compete in this show. This show, an IFBB special invite contest, is to showcase some of the smaller guys who didn’t have a chance to make it to the Mr. Olympia contest.

I think the 202 is a great thing because lets face it no one is going to be a mr.o at 5 5 but for that one contest 202 they can be the best at there wieght but i think it isnt fair that the 202 winner gets 7,500 and the 3rd place mr.o makes 50,000 thats soooo much more mooney than 7,500 i mean dont you feel bad for them there never going to do as good as they will with other IFBB pros there size atleast let them make some good money once a year
