WTF No individual posing routine for the bottom 5 competitors ????

The mr Olympia show just keep on gettin worse

I don't know if it was due to time constraints but Kris Dim, Craig Ridchardson and Federov didn't even get to do their routine individually!!!!

but even if they had to work within the time constraints they could have just gotten rid of the challenge round.

How would you feel if you worked your ass off and come the olympia you're treated like crap like those guys were???

I hear you there, I thought that was pretty disrespectfull to the athletes, for all that they put there bodies through... and to practice a individual routine and all that. Like you said, you would think they would get rid of the challenge round, or at least fine tune it and make sure who ever was running it knew what the hell they were doing... lots of long pauses, wrong votes, pose do-overs, etc...

I think the 2002 one had like 25 competetors or something and you got to see them all, and there routines seemed like they were as long as they wanted, the whole thing was just a train wreck this year... for all the hype they gave the Russian dude, you would at least think they would give the fans a little glipse of him... instead they just paraded them all out for like one minutes, played some music and said see ya

this is pathetic,who the hell came up with the challenge round? it means nothing to the sport... if they were gonna try something new try it at a smaller show so you can get it right and not fuck up big time like they did at the Olympia.. the biggest show in bodybuilding!

i bet all of the guys families/friends were ready to snap loads of pictures during their posing routines but then they get nothing. its just not on... every competitor that makes it to the Olympia stage has the same right as Ronnie Coleman does when it comes to showin off your physique in a posing routine.

i agree, 12+ weeks of dieting to not even get to pose for your friends, family, and fans is just flat out dissrespectfull.

EXACTLY, they all deserve the same treatment and oppertunities as
Ronnie or Jay, without question.

Families, friends and fans pay shitloads of money to fly out to las vegas,
get a hotel, and these guys dont even get individual posing routines, BULLSHIT as Gunter would say.

VERY DISRESPECTFUL! This is a PROFESSIONAL EVENT, treat it like one!

stepping on the stage like the olympia is enough to be proud of your self rather than winning the show it self
