The best in bodybuilding has taken to Las Vegas this week for Joe Weider's Olympia Fitness and Performance Weekend, home to the prestigious Mr. Olympia event.
Saturday, the history books will add a new winner, with several former winners looking to secure their second title.
One such competitor is 2023 winner Derek Lunsford, who outperformed the rest of the field en route to his first Mr. Olympia title, and will have a chance to become the first repeat champion since Mamdouh Elssbiay in 2020 and '21.

It remains to be seen if Lunsford or Choopan can add a second title to their resumes. They have tough competition in the form of Samson Douda, a bodybuilder whose physique is rivaled by few and could easily be deemed the best in the show on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The quality of talent in the sport right now, too, could make it difficult for one competitor to go on the type of run that Schwarzenegger, Coleman, Haney, and the others have experienced. The deeper the talent pool, the less likelihood that a given performer can fend off his opposition for any extended period of time.
Still, there is an opportunity for history to be made Saturday with a Lunsford or Choopan victory.
And an entirely different kind of history should Douda, the most obvious threat to either man, earn the nod from the judges.
