The "So What?": As reported in "Andrew Oye's Pro-Muscle Report," the IFBB Pro Olympia Qualification Series Point System applies to eligibility to compete at the 2012 Olympia Weekend and face reigning Olympia 212 Showdown; however, it's been reported that injured IFBB Pro Kevin English will not defend his title. 2012 contest-circuit competition winners qualified (IFBB Pro Al Auguste, IFBB Pro Lyndon Belgrave, IFBB Pro Curtis Bryant, IFBB Pro Eduardo Correa Da Silva, IFBB Pro Jamal Elmadawy, IFBB Pro David Henry, IFBB Pro Tricky Jackson, IFBB Pro Stan McQuay).

The Series' Top 5 qualify for the 2012 Mr. Olympia contest. In the event of a tie, the competitor with the best top five contest placings will be awarded the qualification. 2011 Olympia Showdown's Top 5 automatically qualified (IFBB Pro Flex Lewis, IFBB Pro Jose Raymond, IFBB Pro Jaroslav Horvath, Shaun-Joseph Tavernier).

Andrew Oye's Verdict: The jury is still deciding if the new Olympia Qualification Series Point System, implemented for the first time in the 2012 contest season, served its purpose. Unless a pronouncement of retirement has been made, it's rare a reigning champ of an Olympia-level division does not return to defend his or her title. Although, as the first (in 2008) and only other athlete to win the Showdown title, David Henry's return to competition from military duty represents another recoupment opportunity.
