Two weeks to Mr. Olympia 2024 we can judge the contestants' forms

We are just two weeks away from the biggest bodybuilding event of the year, the Mr. Olympia competition, which will determine the new king of professional bodybuilding.

The phrase new king may be too optimistic. According to many, it will certainly be an extension of the reign of the reigning king, which is Derek Lunsford.
Others are leaning towards the fact that the new champion will be the previous year's winner Hadi Choopan.

No one gives much chance to any of the other fighters becoming the champion, and when a name is mentioned, it is only two names, Samson Dauda and Andrew Chinedu.

Nineteen fighters have qualified for this year's Mr. Olympia, which will be the 60th edition.

• Brandon Curry - Mr. Olympia 2019 winner
• Derek Lunsford - Mr. Olympia 2023 winner
• Hadi Choopan - 2nd place at Mr. Olympia 2022
• Samson Dauda - 3rd place at Mr. Olympia 2023
• Theo Leguerrier - Japan Pro 2023 winner
• Rafael Brandao - winner of Arnold Classic Brazil 2024
• Martin Fitzwater - USA Detroit Pro 2024
• Nick Walker - Winner of New York Pro 2024
• Tonio Burton - California Pro 2024 winner
• Akim Williams - Toronto Pro Supershow 2024 winner
• William Bonac - Empro Classic 2024 winner
• Behrooz Tabani - Flex Weekend Pro 2024 winner
• Nathan De Asha - Winner of Big Evolution Pro 2024
• John Jewett - Winner of Vancouver Pro 2024
• Mohamed Foda - Winner of Chicago Pro 2024
• Jonathan DeLarosa - Winner of Tampa Pro 2024
• Andrew Chinedu - Texas Pro 2024 winner
• Hunter Labrada - ProMuscle Pro 2024 winner
• Bruno Santos - Europa Pro 2024 winner

We already know that there will be at least one less contestant on stage. The winner of this year's California Pro, Tonio Burton, has recently withdrawn from the competition.

He now wants to spend some time to cleanse his body from all the "bad" and then he wants to start volume training. The goal is to be at least five kilograms heavier in the next competition season than he was during this season, when he competed at around 100 kilograms.

Question marks also hang over the pair of Nathan De Asha and Behrooz Tabani. Both of them need to travel to the USA first to participate in the competition, and given their home countries, they need valid visas to do so. And as we have seen several times in the past, it is this "detail" that has closed the door to some before Olympia.

Below we can watch a video in which we take a look at the seventeen fighters who already have their eyes set on this year's Mr. Olympia.
