About the Mr. Olympia Competition
First held on Sept. 18, 1965, the Mr. Olympia competition has gone from being hosted at the Brooklyn Academy of Music to taking place in one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. Much of its growth can be attributed to the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose sheer size and muscular build helped him secure six straight Mr. Olympia titles from 1970-75. And before he turned his attention to acting, The Austrian Oak took home the Olympia crown a seventh time in 1980 for good measure.
Over the ensuing decades, several other stars emerged in a sport that saw competitors continuously get bigger as better equipment, supplements, and science became available. South Carolina native Lee Haney set the gold standard by holding the Mr. Olympia title for eight years (1984-91). Not long after, Ronnie Coleman introduced himself to the bodybuilding world by starting his eight-year championship run with a victory at the 1998 Olympia.
In between those nearly decade-long streaks, Dorian “The Shadow” Yates dominated the stage with six consecutive Olympia titles of his own. Most recently, Phil Heath enjoyed a brilliant run at the top of the podium, ripping off seven wins between 2011-17.
With interest in fitness and bodybuilding growing over the years, the competition has seen several changes. Rather than anointing just one champion, the contest has become the crowned jewel of Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend, where athletes compete in multiple divisions with specific judging criteria that lead to vastly different body types being featured on stage. Still, the Mr. Olympia finals remain the most anticipated event on the schedule.
