CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

The Challenge Round is revamped for the 2005 Mr. Olympia

Woodland Hills, CA, August 9, 2005 – American Media International (AMI) and the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB), co-promoters of Joe Weider’s 2005 Olympia Weekend, which will take place in Las Vegas from October 13 through 16, have announced the latest in a series of historic changes to the Mr. Olympia competition.

The new initiative involves a revamping of the Challenge Round, which will entail a $50,000 increase in the Mr. Olympia prize money within a format that will pay full homage to the 40th Anniversary rendition of Joe Weider’s legendary event.

The Challenge Round, which was instituted at the 2004 Mr. Olympia contest, will this year have no bearing on the scoring of the Olympia itself, instead becoming its own “contest within a contest,” with cash prizes totaling $50,000.

With this increase, the prize money for the Mr. Olympia contest is now $550,000 compared to $400,000 in 2004, with the total prize money for all of the Weekend’s events rising from $541,000 to $711,000: an increase of 31%.

To add to the excitement of the reconfigured Challenge Round and to celebrate the contest’s glorious history, the judging panel will be comprised entirely of former Mr. Olympia winners. As we go to press, Sergio Oliva, Franco Columbu, Frank Zane, Samir Bannout and Dorian Yates are expected to judge the Challenge Round and it is certain that other former Mr. Olympia will be recruited very soon.

The Challenge Round will be contested by the leading five athletes determined after the four rounds of official Olympia competition. Their specific placings, as decided by the IFBB judging panel, will not be revealed and at the commencement of the Challenge Round they will be placed on their pods in competitor number order. They will all start the Challenge Round with zero points. Starting with the competitor with the lowest number, each competitor will call one individual mandatory pose of his choice against the other four finalists. The winner of each pose, as scored by the Mr. Olympia panel, will score two points. After the first competitor has completed his four challenges, the next competitor will begin his four challenges, and so on until all competitors have completed all their challenges. At the end of the round the athletes’ total points will be tallied and prizes awarded as follows:

1st place: $25,000

2nd place: $10,000

3rd place: $8,000

4th place: $5,000

5th place: $2,000

The new format of the Challenge Round will bring even more drama and debate to an Olympia Weekend already packed with excitement and this year’s program is on course to eclipse by a wide margin the outstanding success of the 2004 event.

Det lyder jo meget godt og måske bliver runden så bedømt ordentligt i år....forhåbentlig da

[Lagoon]

Ja man kan da håbe på, når der sidder andet end direkte Weider-disciple i dommerpanelet, så kan Ronnie ikke få lov til at vinde en abs 'n' thighs nogensinde igen! :4thumbup:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Og hvorfor skulle han lige netop ikke vinde den pose?

[Lagoon]

Well, jeg husker noget om, at JB postede en udmelding om, at dommerpanelet skal til at dømme ned på de udspilede maver, og sætte en smallere talje i højsædet. Not really Ronnie's finest asset, now is it?

Men bevares han ville da slå mig anyday... :4flex:

Nu er Ronnie vist ikke den der har det største problem med udspilet mave.

Nej, det er han ikke, men vil du påstå at han er bedre i abs 'n' thighs end både Gustavo Badell og Dexter Jackson?!

[GoingBiG]

Det er lige før det er urimeligt at sammenligne med dexters mave den er så vild, dog er han ved at få gut nu, desværre...

[DonNiklas]

Ronnie's mave er slet ikke til at sammenligne med Dexter eller Gustavo og tror heller ikke han vinder igen i år, da de andre bliver meget skarpere

Hvad snakker i om. Hvis der er nogen der har en sindsyg roid-gut er det da Gustavo Baddel. gad vide om det blir en dreng eller pige
