Congratulations to Phil Heath, who won his fifth consecutive Mr. Olympia title on Saturday night! The Mr. Olympia is known as the Super Bowl of bodybuilding and whoever wins it can call himself the greatest bodybuilder in the world. Since 1965, there have been only 13 men to hold the title.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Mr. Olympia, and it has grown into much more than a single bodybuilding contest. Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness and Performance Weekend has evolved to become the biggest event in the fitness industry, spanning four days of exciting contests where the winners of the Mr. Olympia, 212 Bodybuilding, Men’s and Women’s Physique, Fitness, Figure, and Bikini division will be the unquestioned best in the world with well over $1M (the highest prize money in the industry) going to the top competitors.
