[Old Surehand]

Female contestants in all divisions.

Good on Jake Wood and WOS for singling out women's bodybuilding as "Ms Olympia".

They called out the other divisons as Figure Olympia, Bikini Olympia, etc...

Really curious to see what Iris Kyle brings to the contest considering she hasn't been on stage since 2014.

What a joy to see Yaxeni again.

Do you think the contest will start despite of Covid-infections rising everwhere in the world?

They held the Tampa pro when Florida was at its worst point of the pandemic. They’ll probably hold this.

What about the audience and the fans? Is anyone traveling from Europe to attend the show?

Certainly from the UK at the moment, any fan or contestant going to the show, will have to isolate for 2 weeks on their return. As of time of writing, tomorrow, or even in a few minutes time, this may have changed. Fact is, any plans you make right now, you may want to change tomorrow. Depending on who is President when the O is held, will probably  determine whether it, and any other show, is held.

venue change

Q: The 2020 Olympia has changed locations again. Why did this happen?

A: Recent announcements by the Nevada Governor have forced Las Vegas venues to invoke crowd restrictions limiting audiences to only 250 spectators, forcing most ticket holders to stay home. In an effort to protect the interests of the fans, Olympia Weekend will instead be held in Central Florida at the Orange County Convention Center, located in the heart of Orlando

In the same bubble as were the NBA/WNBA, I presume; or close to it, yes?

She's had her time, she shouldn't be there ...will most likely get the judges sympathy vote 

What a joy to see Yaxeni again.

I agree, hope she does well? ...my vote goes to Theresa Ivancik, #1! 

you do know Yaxeni is 54 and Iris is 46?i agree Iris shouldnt be there but neither should Yaxeni.

I think all former Olympia champions have an automatic qualification to the Olympia each year  no matter what? It applies in every category, there are at least 3 former champions in figure and fitness who are coming out of retirement this year also.

That just sounds like someone with a bias against certain athletes. I'm glad to see Iris and Yaxeni.
