Posted in: Articles by ProSource, Andrew Oye's Pro Muscle Report, Gossip

The Item: IFBB Pro League Olympia Preview

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 Mr. Olympia IFBB Pro Phil Heath (current MUSCLE INK Magazine cover featured athlete). 2012 contest-circuit competition winners qualified (IFBB Pro Lionel Beyeke, IFBB Pro Evan Centopani, IFBB Pro Michael Kefalianos, IFBB Pro Cedric McMillan, IFBB Pro Juan Morel, IFBB Pro Essa Obiad, IFBB Pro Johnnie Jackson, IFBB Pro Shawn Rhoden, IFBB Pro Bill Wilmore).

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's Top 5 automatically qualified (IFBB Pro Jay Cutler, IFBB Pro Kai Greene, IFBB Pro Victor Martinez, IFBB Pro Dennis Wolf, IFBB Pro Dexter Jackson). IFBB Pro Ronny Rockel also made the list.

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. I wonder if multiple-winning Mr. Olympias IFBB Pro Ronnie Coleman, IFBB Pro Lee Haney, IFBB Pro Dorian Yates and IFBB Pro Arnold Schwarzenegger ever thought such a point system would partially help select their successor.
