2022 Mr. Olympia

The Olympia made a return to its traditional hosting venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, after spending two years in Orlando, Florida, due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Having overcome the challenges of previous years, the event returned to its pre-COVID size with many competitors and fans from across the world in attendance.^[2] As in recent years, the show continued to be streamed live to a global audience.^[3][4]

Hadi Choopan won the 58th edition of Mr. Olympia Men's Open competition in 2022, with a prize of $400,000. Derek Lunsford came in second with a prize of $150,000.^[5] Ten other winners from multiple divisions were crowned during the two days of division finals, including Chris Bumstead, who won the Classic Physique title for the fourth consecutive time, and Shaun Clarida, who managed to win back the 212 Division title after losing it in 2021.^[2]

The 2022 Olympia saw a changing of the guard of sorts as Hadi Choopan beat two-time champion Mamdouh "Big Ramy" Elssbiay to claim his first Olympia title. In addition, newcomers to the Men's Open, such as Derek Lunsford (formerly a 212 competitor) and Andrew Jacked, performed better than longtime stars like William Bonac and Iain Valliere. The competition also saw a much larger field than in the preceding two years thanks to a decline in COVID-19 cases and subsequent restrictions, with competitors hailing from nations as diverse as Ireland, Nigeria, Brazil, and Slovakia.^[6]
