Mr. Olympia 2024

The 2024 Mr. Olympia competition, held from October 10-12 in Las Vegas, was an event filled with excitement, as it crowned Samson Dauda as the new champion. Dauda, a Nigerian-British bodybuilder, clinched his first Mr. Olympia title, defeating reigning champion Hadi Choopan and former winner Derek Lunsford. His impressive combination of size, aesthetics, and symmetry set him apart from the competition, earning him the top prize of $600,000​

In the Classic Physique division, Chris Bumstead continued his reign, winning his sixth consecutive title. However, in a surprising turn of events, Bumstead announced his retirement from competitive bodybuilding immediately after his victory. Known for his golden-era physique and dedication to symmetry, Bumstead leaves behind a legendary career, having transformed the Classic Physique division during his time as champion​

Beyond the Men’s Open and Classic Physique categories, the event also saw standout performances in other divisions. Keone Pearson won the 212 Olympia division, and Ryan Terry claimed his second consecutive title in Men’s Physique

The 2024 Mr. Olympia was a showcase of the sport’s best talent and marked the end of an era with Bumstead’s departure. Fans are eager to see who will rise to prominence in the future, both in the Men’s Open and Classic Physique divisions. The event once again affirmed the prestige and competitive spirit of the Olympia stage, making it the pinnacle of the bodybuilding world.
