Editor’s Note: The 2022 Olympia competition is underway, taking place from Dec. 16-17 in Las Vegas, NV. You can check out this year’s action on BarBend’s results page.
The 2021 Olympia weekend took place from Oct. 7-10, 2021, in Orlando, FL. Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay became the first person to win back-to-back Mr. Olympia titles since the end of Phil Heath‘s seven-year reign at the top of the division. He retained his title by the narrowest margin possible, scoring just a single point better than 2019 Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry in pre-judging. Likewise, Jennifer Dorie beat Lauralie Chapados for the Bikini Division title by a single point in pre-judging.
The 2021 Olympia featured the highest combined prize purse in the 57-year history of the contest — $1.6 million — with Big Ramy taking home the grand prize of $400,000. Notable performances included Cydney Gillon‘s continued reign atop the Figure Division with her fifth consecutive victory. Whitney Jones reclaimed the Fitness Olympia title to wear the crown for the third time in her career. Francielle Mattos will be forever remembered as the inaugural winner of the Wellness Division. Brandon Hendrickson earned the first back-to-back wins in Men’s Physique Division since dethroning four-time champ Jeremy Buendia in 2018. Chris Bumstead became the first-ever three-time champion of the Classic Physique division. Check out the full official scorecards from the 2021 Olympia below:
