2020 Mr. Olympia: Complete Results And Prize Money For All Divisions
The 2020 Mr. Olympia took place this weekend, as the top bodybuilders in the world came out to Orlando, Florida to prove themselves to be the best in the world. This is the full results from the entire competition, after everyone finished taking the stage.
While most years the Mr. Olympia goes down in the fall, the current situation in the world forced the event to be moved to December. As if that was not enough for the officials to deal with, with just about six weeks to go until the show, they had to move it across the country, from its normal home in Las Vegas, to Orlando. Nevertheless the contest rolled on, and virtually all of the top bodybuilders in the world showed up to prove that this year would not be holding them down.
The bulk of the 2020 Mr. Olympia took place on Friday and Saturday, with the final results taking place Saturday evening. After two long days of competition, we have some new champions and some others defending their thrones. These are the results from the entire weekend’s competition.
Mr. Olympia 2020: Men’s Open Bodybuilding
The Men’s Open is the most anticipated division of the Olympia under any circumstances, but this year the excitement for this contest was amplified big time. This was largely due to the return of seven-time champion Phil Heath, as he looked to get his 8th title and tie for the most wins in the contest’s history. Standing in his way was 2019 champ Brandon Curry, who won the show in Phil’s absence last year, after Shawn Rhoden was ruled ineligible to compete.
The callouts on Friday evening showed just how many extremely talented athletes there were contesting for the Mr. Olympia throne. In the end however, the winner and 2020 Mr. Olympia turned out to be Big Ramy, who shocked the judges with his massively improved conditioning and physique. Following closely behind him was now former champ Brandon Curry in second place, while in third was seven-time Olympia champ Phil Heath.

The 212 Division of the 2020 Mr. Olympia was filed with a lot of intriguing matchups.

So he came into this contest with something of a chip on his shoulder, looking to prove himself the deserving champion.
During Friday’s prejudging, it was clear that Kamal was in great shape, but so was the rest of the competition. In the end, it was Shaun Clarida who ascended to the next level and dethroned the champ to become the 212 Olympia champ.

While there were a lot of other athletes who proved themselves worthy of praise at the prejudging, the story was who would win between Ansley and Bumstead.

These athletes put an intense focus on their upper body, over their legs, and few have been a better example of this than reigning champ Raymont Edmonds. In the lead-up to this contest, he continued to look at his best, and it made people think he would be incapable of being beaten.
Nobody would let Edmonds get this win without a fight though, as everyone who competed came in great shape. When the Olympia was over though, Brandon Hendrickson walked away with the first place victory, regaining the title he last held in 2018. Following closely behind him. now former champ Raymont Edmonds pulled off a close second place finish, with Kyron Holden ending the day in a strong third.

This female bodybuilding showcase had been missing since 2014, but was finally returning to the biggest stage in the sport. It was expected that former ten-time champ Iris Kyle would be coming out of retirement to compete at this big show, but she would ultimately fall ill on the day of the prejudging, failing to make it to the stage.

At the end of the day, Shaw came out on top, winning the 2020 Ms. Olympia, on her birthday no less.

Fitness Olympia
The Fitness Division is always one of the most fun to watch at the Olympia.

The big storyline here was if returning champ Oksana Grishina could get her title back against defending champ Whitney Jones, who had been looking great herself lately.
However to the shock of many, and after a bit of confusion, it was Missy Trescoutt who put it all together to win the Ms. Fitness Olympia title.
