The Future Of Olympia Qualifications
by Christian Duque
As more bodybuilding contests are added onto the pro circuit it seems that the powers that be want to keep the competitive space reserved for the very best in the world. Given how little we see the top guys in the world competing it seems desperate times call for desperate measures. One tell-tale contest was the 2023 Arnold Classic. It got so bad when it was down to six guys that it was looking like the second biggest contest in the world was going to go belly up. And what’s crazy is that even though the purse was $200k it just didn’t seem to make a difference. The top guys were already locked into the biggest show in the world and they wanted to stay there.
