We are now some seven weeks away from this year's 61st edition of Mr. Olympia, the most prestigious show the bodybuilding world has to offer.

The reigning champion is Samson Dauda, who, of course, would love to defend his triumph, but the former champions, Derek Lunsford, the 2023 winner, Hadi Choopan, the 2022 winner, and Brandon Curry, the 2019 winner, don't want to be left behind and want to take back the win this year.

Samson Dauda becomes the new king of bodybuilding! Mr. Olympia 2024.

Among them are Nick Walker, who triumphed at the New York Pro 2025, William Bonac, the winner of the Detroit Pro 2025, and Vitaly Ugolnikov, who dominated the Arnold Classic Brazil 2025.
