Your recollections are different to mine.
anyway I don't care The Mr Olympia is about the best Bodybuilder. End of
why the Fuck you arguing or bothered about who places 12, 15, 25 !!
Like i said without looking it up Name the man who came 7th or last at the 100mtrs final
Or who placed 12 through last place in the last few Olmpias.
Its's not important & no one cares.
The WHOLE ISSUE is about how many people should be allowed to compete. The complaint is that there are too many competitors.
These so-called rule changes were supposed to address that. They haven't. All it did was eliminate TWO GUYS (the special-invite dude and the one who did the point-system thing).
Outside of that, if 25 guys are there, it's because ALL 25 either won shows or placed top 5 at the previous Olympia.
Do you now have to win multiple shows to qualify? Blessing did that, and he still got "16th".
If you only want 10 guys, HOW do you address the rules to make that happen?
A rather bizarre & random reply to what I wrote, 🤷🏻♂️
Limit the No. Of Qualifying shows simple
Not every Pro show has to be an Olympia Qualifyier
To answer your question
Top 5 from olympia
Top 2-3 from Arnold classic
Max 5 other pro show winner qualifiers
And possibly a wild card
