Should Andrea Presti Get A Special Invite To The 2024 Mr. Olympia?
by Christian Duque
Let’s talk about the idea of the special invite. Because you guys know from my many articles over the years that I’m not a fan of the practice. I think the special invite waters down the playing field of a competition that is known as the Super Bowl of Bodybuilding. One of the few things that were real from Pumping Iron is that the Olympia was supposed to be the show where guys that had won the Universe, the World Championships, maybe the European Championships, would get together and battle it out to be the best of the best. That’s why it’s called the Super Bowl of Bodybuilding. It wasn’t supposed to be an event where guys could qualify through points as was the case up until recently.
