Milos Sarcev gives his review of the 2022 Olympia.
Bodybuilding legend and top coach Milos Sarcev gave his unfiltered thoughts and opinion on the top six at the 2022 Olympia. Sarcev critiqued a number of bodybuilders and raised some questions as to how some individuals placed.
The 2022 Olympia was one of the more shocking bodybuilding shows in recent memory. No one could have foreseen what would take place at this monumental event. Not only was the reigning Mr. Olympia Big Ramy ousted from his throne, he was forced out of the top three. To add to the shock, Hadi Choopan would take the title with former 212 Olympia champion Derek Lunsford taking second and Nick Walker placing third. The bodybuilding world has been thoroughly shook up from this event.
Top coach and bodybuilding legend Milos Sarcev had a great to say on these turn of events.
Olympia Review
Having coached several top bodybuilders, including Samson Douda who took sixth at the show, Milos Sarcev has a distinct knowledge of high level bodybuilding. As such Sarcev gave his unfiltered opinion on the event in an interview alongside fellow bodybuilding legend and onetime Mr. Olympia champion Samir Bannout.
“You know if you ask me, there’s no way that Nick should have beaten Samson in any shape or form,” said Milos Sarcev.
“In bodybuilding, you know you look for the best body, best shape for a total package, so for me of course, I would be biased, but yeah this is how I look at at and Samson could be battling for third place, or actually even second you know.”
It’s clear that Milos Sarcev believed that Samson Douda deserved a higher placing. He did also address that his bias could be clouding his vision. Either way, it’s clear that working with Sarcev has helped Douda level up.
“Put him [Samson Douda] next to Derek and go pose by pose, there is going to be many reasons why he could have won.”
Thoughts on Former Champs
It appears that Milos Sarcev also had a lot to say about Brandon Curry and if he deserved his fourth place slot.
“Then there is Brandon Curry, who was not at his best, I mean he he’s never sharp, especially he wasn’t sharper now.
“I encourage you to look at his posing routine in the afternoon, you couldn’t find the separation on his quads if you tried to, you know, so that’s not Olympia conditioning.”
“Brandon has a beautiful body, he improved the legs, but I criticize the product and it’s still not balanced out with the upper body.”
Milos Sarcev also gave his opinion on the fall of Big Ramy.
“Finally Big Ramy, I mean nobody expected that he’s going to be pushed so much down you know it’s kind of a surprise.”
