Mr Olympia 2012

The Mr Olympia finals were held this weekend in Las Vegas Nevada USA. The best of the best came to do battle on stage and it was one of the best ever shows despite 4 time Mr Olympia Jay Cutler being absent through injury.
With the new champion from 2011 Phill Heath defending his title it was going to be an epic showdown. Branch Warren the Arnold Classic champion was back after injury and looked a strong competetor in the pre judging. kai Greene to had put on extra muscle and was one of the biggest athletes on stage.
The Olympia also welcomed 6 new athletes to the competition. However when it came down to it the age and experience showed with the top 6 places going to 'Veteran' Olympia competetors.

However it all came down to Phil versus Kai and it was an epic battle. See for yourself.



But in the end the Champion and my personal favourite Phil Heath took the big prize and fully deserved his win. In my opinion he achieved his goal to have' People say I won the damn show before I even hit a pose!' After winning the Olympia he has come out and said, "We did it, we defeated the haters again!" earlier he claimed"don't take rest after your first victory because if you fail in second more lips are waiting to say that your first victory is was just luck". Well I think we can agree that it was all hard work no luck was involved in this victory.

Top 6 places:

1. Phil Heath (2x Mr O.)
2. Kai Greene
3. Shawn Roden
4. Dexter Jackson (1x Mr O.)
5. Branch Warren
6. Denis Wolf
