Mr Oympia 2013 predictions

[Leeroid]

With Mr Olympia 2013 only 3 weeks away, what are your guys predictions as to who will be crowned Mr Olympia this year?

 

My top 4:

1. Phil Heath

2. Kai Greene

3. Big Ramy

4. Jay Cutler

 

In that order but in all seriousness could be any one of them depending on who comes in condition.

4)  5)  6) Could be anyone but I'll say Rhoden, Centopani & Ramy in no particular order

Did Lionel Beyeke qualify too? Johnnie Jackson?

[HarryB]

1 thru 10th place = Kai Greene

[nate225]

1 thru 10th place = Kai Greene

If it weren't for his history I'd say Kai # 1 - he currently looks freaking amazing, however can the IFBB ever overlook his highly publicised past and hold him up as their poster boy? If so Shane Jones has a chance of leading the Labour Party too.....*dirol*

[Gym rat]

My top five for the Olympia are

Phil heath to win

2 Kai Greene

3 Jay Cutler

4 Branch Warren

5 Dennis Wolf

[HarryB]

[god-of-bodybuilding]

who cares, competitive bodybuilding is a stupid sport anyway

[rapz]

1.Phil

2.Kai

3.Jay

4.doesnt matter

 

dont see phil being beaten for a while, in last last few weeks he always seems to pull off that cartoonish look.  Kai looks awesme and from what ive read on other boards has put on something like 15lbs.  Jay is looking awesome as well, sadly i dont think either have enough to bump Phil off.

 

[AZIDE]

Agree with dannyjay

[Gym rat]

I also cant see anyone beating Phil at the Olympia  this year and it will be another win for the Gift

1. Phill Heath

2. Kai Greene

3. Shawn Rohen

4. Jay Cutler

5. Dennis Wolfe

6. Dexter Jackson

7. Branch Warren

Toney Freeman, Cedric McMillan and Ramy will be among the Top 10 some where

The powers that be like dynasties.

Phil's got the O on lock for at least another 5 years.

[Realtalk]

It's not even about who has the best physique or who looks the best on the day. The big supplement companies control the sport and these guys are just their puppets

Don't really understand how everyone can get so excited about it, it's so predictable as far as the winner goes. That's why everyone predicts the top 5 or 10... I can't think of another sport/event where ppl try to predict anything other than the winner because usually there a high possibility it can go a number if ways.

Phil Heath will win.

[nate225]

304lb with 12-15 to drop....mutant!

Realtalk has valid points - if politics and sponsorship dollars meant nothing I'd say Kai Greene would own this Sandow. Reality I think is Phil's already cleared a space in the trophy cabinet for 2013, but regardless this year's event has my interest as the quality is better than it has been and newcomers like Ramy make for interesting times.

[jimmybro1]

I tried posting the video of Ramy posing 3.5 weeks out but it doesn't seemed to have worked. 

YouTube videos don't seem to be working now? 

Heres the link anyway.

[DIANABOL]

1. Heath

2. Greene

3. Rhoden

4 or 5 Dexter or Cutler

 

Ramy will definately not make top 5, his conditioning is just not there, I think he will place low top 10. 

 

 

[Optimass]

1 Jay Cutler

2 Phil Heath

3 Kai Greene

4 Dexter Jackson

5 Rhoden / Centipani / Ramy could go here not sure

... never under estimate a returning champion and the influence they have on the sport

It'd reek of 1981 where a political decision meant the end of mainstream television coverage (dispite contracts being signed & paid) for Bodybuilding. Can the IFBB afford to do this again? *biggrin*
