Jeremy Buendia graciously accepts his 4th placing in what is to be his last Olympia.

Jeremy Buendia had all of the makings of a great comeback story for the Olympia 2018. After not competing last year due to an injury – he came back with a vengeance this year to compete in the Men’s Physique Olympia and reclaim his throne. While he was very humble during the press conference and admitting that he almost didn’t compete this year… he also confirmed that this would likely be his last Olympia in Men’s Physique.

Instead of going out one more time as a champion, Jeremy ended up landing 4th place at the Olympia 2018. Staying humble, Jeremy posted this response to his placing just hours after the competition on his Instagram. You can check it out below:

4th place at my final Olympia. – I’ve been victorious & now was the time to learn how to lose graciously. – Trusting that this is just another lesson from God that I needed to close this chapter of my life to be an even stronger and better person in the next. – Thank you to the @ifbb_pro_league & @npcnewsonlineofficialpage & @mrolympiallc for the opportunity. – To my fellow competitors and fans, it’s been an honor. – Thank you. God Bless. – Now it’s time for tacos ? ❤️ – #TheFinalFight #nobodyoutworksme #mostwontiwill #evogenelite #heraxhero
