Olympia 06

Nick500 · 14-09-2006, 12:49 AM

On the 28th of this month, the Olympia weekend starts!

Competitors:
Ronnie Coleman
Jay Cutler
Gustavo Badell
Gunter Schlierkampf
Victor Martinez
Dennis James
Lee Priest
David Henry Jr.
Troy Alves
Dexter Jackson
Branch Warren
Melvin Anthony
Mustafa Mohammad
Ronnie Rockel
Vince Taylor
Bob Cicherillo
Phil Heath
Darrem Charles
Bill Willmore
Toney Freeman
Quincy Taylor
Johnnie Jackson
King Kamali

Would of course love to see Ronnie even bigger and in even better condition than he's ever been, but I think his game might be up now. Saying that (with the exception of Gunter) I don't see any other competitors of his height carrying anywhere near 300lbs such as him. I think Cutler will never win, he's not got the freakiness of Ronnie or that lot. I think Branch Warren will place surprisingly high, with high placements from Phil Heath and Johnnie Jackson. What a shame that Ruhl isn't making an appearance now, oh well. I would actually really like to see Gunter placed high, he has so much presence on stage and is truly a massive monster.

Jays year this year anyone with a wider back than Ronnie is a freak in my book not that I want someone who looks 'freaky' to win but then thats pretty much how the olympia is judged these days. Anyway COME ON JAY.

I think its a bit early for Branch Warren watch out next year though but I do think a top 6 is a possibility

I think Jay will get it he has the best legs and back all he has to do is get his timing 100% to beat ronnie

Ronnie ain't losing til he dies or retires, IMO.

I reckon Ronnie will win!

Wouldn't mind seeing Lee Priest coming a little higher though! That guy really does get undercredited!

ronnie all the way.... hes mr olympia!!

dont think phil heath is competing.. doubt lee priest will be there either.. if you like him that much hes doing the PDI show in london at the end of october.. and then following that with a tour of the UK i believe.. doing a photo shoot at a gym i train at with my nutritional adviser IFBB Pro Ian Morgan (http://www.morganspowerhousegym.co.uk/)... so you can get the chance to watch him attend the seminar or see him on stage!!

for me the top 4 of the olympia will be.. ronnie, jay, gustavo, dexter

with my surprise placing prediction of toney freeman.. not sure where hell place but im guessing top 8!!! other than that it should all be pretty much run of the mill stuff... id like troy alves to hit bang on... as dont feel hes ever really done himself justice!

maybe we will see some british guys there.. theres a few competing in the spanish GP at the end of this month.. which qualifies top 3 (i think) for the olympia!
