Hey Boys,
My wife and I decided to fly out Saturday morning to catch the finals, it was truly the most organized, well orchestrated olympia in years. Last year it was like a High school talent show. However, this year, Weider hired the right group to conduct a great event. It was amazing how many people were there... one of the promotion directors is my buddy, he said the finals turned-out a little over 18,000 heads; not to shabby.
As far as the competitors,
Cutler: looked good as always, although his syn injections were very pronounced.
Martinez: nothing short of perfection, if he can nail his conditioning; jay doesn't have a chance. He still looked a week or so out, he was the only one that was never short of breath after the posedowns..... it would've gone to Victor if he'd been a little dryer.
Jackson: He continues to make improvements, but he'll never compromise symmetry for size. He's what a body builder should look like IMO.
Coleman: His right Lat really hurt him, especially cause he favored his left lat while posing. I feel he was more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than last year.
Wolf: Sharp as nails! extremely proportional, calfs being the only lagging body part. He's what the Olympia is all about, though. I think 2nd or 3rd is where he should've placed, he's a true force.... considering this was his first Olympia. I wouldn't be suprised if he took it all next year.
All in all it was a great event, the Olympia was in desperate need for the show that unfolded. Body Building in general will benefit from this gathering of Champions, there was finally that fire and desire in the competitors eyes, again. It was however interesting to see how horrible some of the big names looked; Ruhl, Warren, and freeman all came in very smooth.
Listed below is a link of the top 6. You guys be the judge......
