Bodybuilding Legends Share Top 6 Predictions For 2022 Olympia

Bodybuilding legends such as Lee Priest, Milos Sarcev, and Chris Cormier discuss the 2022 Olympia.

The Men’s Open division at the 2022 Olympia has a chance to be one of the deepest and most exciting groups in recent memory. There are plenty of newcomers that will be sprinkled in with veterans who are looking to remain near the top. In a recent discussion, the likes of Dennis James, Milos Sarcev, and George Farah discussed their predictions for the competition.

The trio above was joined by Lee Priest, Chris Cormier, and Chad Nicholls for the discussion. These are some of the top minds in bodybuilding and they all shared predictions for the top six.

Entering the show, Big Ramy is considered the odds-on favorite to win his third consecutive Sandow Trophy. There are many who believe he will be unstoppable if he comes in shredded because of his mass. There are not many competitors who can matchup when it comes to size. Brandon Curry and Hadi Choopan followed Ramy last year and are considered contenders once again.

Andrew Jacked leads a group of newcomers. Michal Krizo could also be thrown into the mix if he is able to win a competition and qualify. Krizo recently earned his Pro Card by winning the Amateur Olympia Italy.

Chris Cormier

  • Big Ramy
  • Andrew Jacked
  • Hunter Labrada
  • William Bonac

  • Brandon Curry

Chad Nicholls

  • Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay
  • William Bonac
  • Nick Walker
  • Andrew Jacked
  • Hadi Choopan
  • Hunter Labrada

The mix in opinion here proves the depth of the division overall. Nick Walker and Hunter Labrada remain intriguing names as well. They both finished in the top five during the 2021 Olympia but are not a guarantee to return. Nicholls and Cormier has Labrada on their list but he did not appear on any other. Walker was present on the lists of Nicholls and James.

The show is set to go down from Dec. 15-18 at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
