Let the games begin!

So the biggest bodybuilding event of the year is finally here and you can bet fans are excited to see who will be victorious in the open weight division. Phil Heath looks to tie Dorian Yates’ streak by winning his sixth straight Olympia title. This year sees Heath face off with some of the best veterans of the sport as well as newcomers looking to make a splash in their Olympia debuts. To get festivities started off right, the annual Olympia press conference took place last night, featuring all the athletes competing in the open weight division. For video of the full press conference take a look below.

The biggest question on everyone’s minds has finally been answered. Ever since it was announced that Kevin Levrone was planning a comeback, fans and pundits have been speculating about just how good Levrone would look once he hit the Olympia stage. What we learned was that the “Maryland Muscle Machine” was looking truly impressive in his first showing. If you didn’t watch the entire press conference video then check out the footage below that saw Kevin Levrone posedown against Cedric McMillan.

Now, while Levrone does look impressive in the above video, you still have to wonder how he’ll fair once he’s up on stage. Cedric McMillan looked as if he was dwarfing Levrone. McMillan isn’t the most massive of competitors, so that could spell some concern for Levrone. However, once the competitors are under the bright lights and everything is said and done we could be in for the shock of our lives. Levrone could be banking on his definition and posing routine more than just massive size. There’s still potential for an upset, but if one thing is certain, Kevin Levrone is fighting an uphill battle.

Who do you think wins the 2016 Olympia?
