Bodybuilding legends such as Lee Priest, Milos Sarcev and Chris Cormier discuss Olympia 2022.
The Men’s Open division at Olympia 2022 has a chance to be one of the deepest and most exciting groups in recent memory. There are plenty of newcomers who will be interspersed with veterans looking to stay near the top. In a recent chat, Dennis James, Milos Sarcev and George Farah discussed their predictions for the competition.
The trio above were joined by Lee Priest, Chris Cormier and Chad Nicholls for the discussion. These are some of the best minds in bodybuilding and they all shared predictions for the top six.
Entering the show, Big Ramy is considered the clear favorite to win his third consecutive Sandow Trophy. There are many who believe he will be unstoppable if he comes to shreds due to his bulk. There aren’t many competitors that can compete in terms of size. Brandon Curry and Hadi Choopan followed Ramy last year and are once again seen as contenders.
Andrew Jacked leads a group of newcomers. Michal Krizo could also be thrown into the mix if he is able to win a competition and qualify. Krizo recently earned his Pro card by winning the Amateur Olympia Italy.

The mix of opinion here proves the depth of the divide overall. Nick Walker and Hunter Labrada also remain intriguing names. They both finished in the top five at Olympia 2021 but are no guarantee of a comeback. Nicholls and Cormier have Labrada on their list but he does not appear on any other. Walker was present on the Nicholls and James lists.
The show will run from December 15-18 at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
