Kamal Elgargni wins the 2023 Masters Olympia!
The 2023 Masters Olympia competition officially made its return this weekend. The event was held at the BT Arena in Cluj Napoca, Romania where all 10 divisions in bodybuilding were present to compete. This event featured some of the best competitors of all-time as results were spread over two nights.
Robby Robinson won the first ever Masters Olympia competition back in 1994. Vince Taylor holds the record with six victories, which occurred consecutively from 1996-2001. There was a hiatus following the 2003 competition before Dexter Jackson took home the title in 2012.
The official rosters for the show were announced back in April and athletes have prepped for a return to the stage.
The first set of results will feature five divisions on Saturday night with the other five coming on Sunday night. Below, check out live updates of the results as they come in!
