Big Ramy won't enter this year's Olympia!

The sudden fall of former two-time Mr. Olympia Mamdouh "Big Ramy" Elssbiay at the 2022 Olympia was a shock. A similar result at the 2023 Arnold Classic raised many questions about his chances at this year's Olympia. However, Big Ramy put an end to all the speculation by announcing his decision to withdraw from Olympia 2023. Ramy joined RX Muscle's Siddique Farooqui for an interview during the Dubai Pro 2023 and was asked to shed light on his future plan in light of the outcome of Olympia 2022 and Arnold Classic 2023.

Ramy revealed the following:

"I have to be smart to know when it's best for me to be on stage and when it's best for me to stop for a bit. I think I need to take a break from the show this year and if I get a chance to bring a better version of myself and can bring something different, yes, I would appear in the next show. But I think Olympia is the closest show. I'm not going to be in Olympia this year.

It's not a happy time for a lot of people in the Middle East. But I'm working hard to give them the best version of Ramy, and I don't think it's the right time to go to Olympia this year. My team and I have talked about it and I think the best thing we can do now is look forward to the next goal. Yes, we are thinking about next year."
