Paul Krueger wins the Men’s Bodybuilding Open at 2021 Natural Olympia
PNBA/INBA hosted the most prominent natural bodybuilding show of the year, 2021 Natural Olympia, at Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. Taking the competition by storm, Paul Krueger came out victorious in this year’s opener.
As the name suggests, the Natural Olympia is a competition amongst the greatest natural bodybuilders on the planet competing for up to $100,000 in cash prizes. Across the board, it’s the summit of natural bodybuilding events.
What separates this event from other prominent bodybuilding shows, such as Mr. Olympia in the IFBB Pro League, is the PNBA/INBA league vets all athletes utilizing state-of-the-art drug testing equipment for all professional sports – World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Of course, the size of natural bodybuilders will differ from the size of bodybuilders competing in the IFBB, therefore, the judging varies and has to adapt to smaller bodybuilders, although each athlete competes in similar categories.
The most eminent faces of natural bodybuilding walked the stage this weekend, including Jon Tsui, the defending champion and Natural Bodybuilding Hall of Fame inductee, and 2018 champion, Colin Congo.
The results of the event are listed below, showing who the top competitors were and which ones came out on top. Keep reading to see the full breakdown of results from the 2021 Natural Olympia.
