The 2022 edition in Las Vegas, NV, served as the lone exception during that span. For decades, the contest had almost always been in &#8220;Sin City,&#8221; but the extreme, unprecedented circumstances of the early throes of the COVID-19 pandemic led the IFBB to move the Olympia to Orlando in 2020 in accordance with safety regulations. Before he fell short of a three-peat with <a data-lasso-id=\"190464\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/mamdouh-big-ramy-elssbiay-reaction-loss-2022-mr-olympia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a disappointing fifth-place result<\/a> in 2022, Mamdouh &#8220;Big Ramy&#8221; Elssbiay captured the first of his two career Olympia titles during that initial Florida competition.

A points system that opened the door for athletes who hadn&#8217;t won a contest in that calendar year will no longer be viable. Any competitor who wishes to earn a spot on the Orlando, FL, stage this early November <strong>must either win a 2023 IFBB Pro League contest, have won any Olympia in the past, or have finished in the top five of their category during the 2022 Olympia contest<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notable athletes to whom some of these distinctions apply in the Men&#8217;s Open division include Choopan, Elssbiay, 2019 Mr. Olympia <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/bodybuilder-brandon-curry-weighs-260-pounds-2022-mr-olympia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"190511\">Brandon Curry<\/a>, third-place 2022 Olympia competitor <a data-lasso-id=\"190466\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/nick-walker-2022-mr-olympia-performance-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nick Walker<\/a>, and 2022 Mr. Olympia runner-up <a data-lasso-id=\"190467\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/derek-lunsford-2023-arnold-classic-2023-olympia-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Derek Lunsford<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\"  data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CnmzKH3u3C_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
