The Future of Bodybuilding: How the 2023 Mr. Olympia Will Shape the Sport

Who Will Be the Next Mr. Olympia 2023 Predictions? A Look at the Top Contenders for 2023

 The 2023 Mr. Olympia is the most prestigious bodybuilding competition in the world, where the best of the best compete for the coveted Sandow trophy and the title of the best physique on the planet. The event will take place from November 2 to 5 in Orlando, Florida, at the spacious Orange County Convention Center1.

The reigning Mr. Olympia is Hadi Choopan, who made history last year by becoming the first Iranian to win the title. He defeated former two-time champion Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay, who placed second, and Brandon Curry, who finished third. Choopan impressed the judges and the fans with his incredible conditioning, symmetry, and muscularity, proving that he belongs to the elite of the sport.

However, Choopan will face a tough challenge this year, as he will have to defend his title against a stacked lineup of contenders. Some of the names that have already qualified for the 2023 Mr. Olympia are:

• Derek Lunsford: The former 212 Olympia champion who moved up to the open division and won his debut at the Chicago Pro3. Lunsford displayed a massive and shredded physique that earned him comparisons to Ronnie Coleman. He is considered one of the favorites to challenge Choopan for the crown.
• Nick Walker: The rookie sensation who won his first pro show at the New York Pro and then followed it up with a victory at the Arnold Classic3. Walker is known for his freaky size and density, especially in his arms and legs. He has a lot of hype and momentum behind him, and he is confident that he can win the Mr. Olympia on his first attempt.
• Brandon Curry: The 2019 Mr. Olympia who placed third last year2. Curry is one of the most aesthetic and balanced competitors in the field, with no glaring weaknesses. He has improved his back and legs over the years, and he is always in great shape. He is hungry to reclaim his title and prove that he is still among the best in the world.
• Mamdouh Elssbiay: The 2020 and 2021 Mr. Olympia who lost his title to Choopan last year2. Elssbiay is arguably the biggest and most muscular bodybuilder on stage, with a massive frame and freaky proportions. He has dominated the sport for two years, but he came in slightly off last year, which cost him his title. He is determined to bounce back and win his third Sandow trophy.

These are just some of the top contenders for the 2023 Mr. Olympia, but there are many more who have qualified or are still trying to qualify for the event. Some of them are Samson Dauda, Brett Wilkin, Behrooz Tabani, Tony Burton, Ross Flanigan, Iain Valliere, Michal Krizanek, Phil Clahar, Andrea Presti, Hassan Mostafa, Justin Shier, and others34.

The 2023 Mr. Olympia will be a thrilling event that will showcase the best of bodybuilding. Who do you think will win? Will Choopan retain his title, or will someone else dethrone him? Will Lunsford or Walker make history by winning their first Mr. Olympia on their first try? Will Curry or Elssbiay regain their glory and add another Sandow to their collection? Or will there be a surprise winner who will shock the world?

The answer will be revealed on November 5th on the final night of the 2023 Mr. Olympia. Don’t miss it!
