What a surprise! We came into this contest expecting a battle between Jose, Stan and Peter, and boom – Tricky Jackson exploded and had the best overall physique, moving into the top spot, and regulating an improved and lean Peter Putman into 4th place, and out of the qualifying Mr. Olympia spot. Vinny Galanti, from New Jersey, flew in and did impress the judges, palcing 6th out of 18 competitors. So did Charles Arde, who looked great too. Here is the results.
