True. But as it was explained to me there is no official Mr. Olympia title. It's just a part of the show and that's why they don't pay the athletes expenses.

Um, no it's not officially the 202 Mr. Olympia. It's still called Showdown and it's a shame all the other divisions are getting more recogntion than the 202 and they're sucking up the prize money for the 202 competitors who have been training and dieting for years and years. Bikini competitors can compete without any prep at age 18 and win prize money.

LOL...Just like bikini I guess. Bikini is for hot girls who dont want to take the time to build up the muscle and learn hard poses like Figure!! But it sure brings in the money!

Are you jealous of nicole nagrani's early success?

kinda disappointed about the Jr. USA...it was nice having it so close to us this year....but i can't blame them based on the turnout.

men's physique? ...seems like a difficult thing to determine a solid standard for, similarly to the confusion of what the figure division deals with.

**kingthibodeaux** · 10-16-2010, 04:06 PM

any idea if the Jr USA will revert back to it's May date or will it be later in the year again?

**~gymdiva~** · 10-16-2010, 04:07 PM

I think the timing of jr usa's hurt them more than location....but I loved having it in SC so I'll gladly welcome it back

I agree!! SC is only 8 hours away verses 14. My husband done JR USA twice and if I qualify in Feb, then I would love to do that one in May instead of Chicago in June
