The whole world is waiting for the 2013 Mr. Olympia, contest of professional bodybuilders to be held on September 26-29, 2013 in Nevada. It will be the 49th Mr. Olympia competition to be held.
Initially, the contest was created by Canadian bodybuilder Joe Weider in 1985. The first goal of the contest was to allow Mr. Universe winners to continue competing and earn money. But the competition became extraordinary famous, when Arnold Schwarzenegger became Mr. Olympia in 1970 and kept this title for 5 years. And the prize of 1,000 $ in 1966 have reached 250,000 $ in 2012.
Let’s have a look at the candidates to take the main price and be Mr. Olympia 2013.
