Just got back from the Expo over at Mandalay Bay - gots me big Louies signed photo this time!

Kim Chezeveski is hot! Her photos don't do her justice - but she was also out of any competition shape and looked to have lost a few pounds.

Lenda Murray is HUGE! ... Garret Downing is in a wheel chair - not sure why... is the Olympia going to be broadcasted anywhere? Tickets to go in were $150-200. and I felt like saving it for next year and trying to catch it on TV.

**Warrior** · 10-19-2002, 07:42 PM

That link is busted. The show starts in like - 15 minutes. Anyone know how to get it on the tube?

***Shredz*** · 10-19-2002, 07:52 PM

you have to order payper view or have a dish I would assume

**Freakymuscle4u** · 10-19-2002, 07:56 PM

Not worth the 20-30 bucks, it sucks how none of them get any money they make off of the pay per view. What bs.....

**Warrior** · 10-19-2002, 08:05 PM

Worth it to me brah. I called the Cable company and they were still open and activated it for me - $24.95 and ring side. Better than $150 and in the waaaaay back.

I got my surround and sub on and watching it in full stereo - hasta luego

**Warrior** · 10-19-2002, 08:17 PM

Levrone looked pretty frickin' good...

**Freakymuscle4u** · 10-19-2002, 08:25 PM

Do you have to have a box, because my tv doesn't have a cable box..

Ah well what sucks is that 30 bucks u just paid goes intos weiders fat pocket and not the competitors, who if it was not for them there would no show...

**saboudian** · 10-19-2002, 08:47 PM

thats the real world

**Warrior** · 10-19-2002, 09:02 PM

Whatever - I am watching it... that's all. And yes, I have digital cable. I am recording it too and the tapes usually go for much more than $24.95.

But anyway, Kevin Levrone looks the best so far. Ronnie Coleman was impressive - maybe a little more cut than last year. Markus Ruhl is a monster! Lee Priest - well... he looks good for 5' 4". A new competitor from Spain forgot the Nolvadex in his precontest cycle

**Warrior** · 10-19-2002, 09:38 PM

**malahat** · 10-19-2002, 10:29 PM

James is tenth. Burke is ninth. Ruhl is eighth. Wheeler is seventh.
Priest is sixth. Schlierkamp is fifth. Jackson is fourth. Cormier is third.
Levrone is second. Coleman is the winner.

**Warrior** · 10-19-2002, 10:40 PM

The two big upsets:

Gunter Schleirkamp was getting a lot of positive feedback. He changed his nutrionist and trainer to the staff that works with many of the others. When he placed 5th their was a huge boo by the crowd. And before he walked off stage he got a standing ovation. Probably here a lot from Gunter in the next year.

Flex Wheeler dialed in at 220 and placed very low. He claimed to have trained all natrural last year with "papers to prove it." Flex placed a very low drop at 7th. Not even part of the final pose down...

Priest has a nice physique BUT... he can not compare with the others. Standing at 5'4" 200 lbs the others easily dwarf him. There were many times during the final posedown where it seemed people were pushing him away or posing right behind him as an overshadow. I do not think Priest could ever win a first place Olympia title.

**Champ** · 10-19-2002, 11:00 PM

Kamali, Titus, Atwood, Haidar. Thanks.

**Warrior** · 10-19-2002, 11:13 PM

I just looked at it again... and there was no mention below 10th place in the ceremony.

**Definst** · 10-20-2002, 12:19 AM

Yup I watched it on PPV also, was well worth it IMO, Gunther was awesome and very professional I agree I'll also keep an eye out for him he's got a bright future.

**Warrior** · 10-20-2002, 12:25 AM

The expo was some awesome shit... a whole cluster of big dudes and hot women. And BIG woman...

We were packed like canned tuna in the elevator going to the showroom and we were all thinking the same thing and one guy said it out loud, "Damn! Trying to pack all this mass in one little elevator is a pain in the ass."

**tt333** · 10-20-2002, 01:16 AM

Im glad King didnt get in the top 10, I get tired of him running his fucking mouth.

October 2002

Mr. Olympia Finals

The Mr. Olympia finals was a briskly run affair -- barely two-and-a-half-hours long. However, the fast pace was greatly appreciated since it made for a more entertaining event.

No surprise to anyone, Ronnie Coleman walked away with the title for the fifth time -- and he deserved it. I've seen Coleman win every year and in my estimation this was his best condition. However, what did surprise everyone was Gunter Schlierkamp stealing the spotlight, and the crowd, from Coleman. In the best shape of his life, the 300-pound Schlierkamp had the audience behind him like few other competitors I've seen. Like Jay Cutler did in 2001, this year Schlierkamp lept to the forefront of the bodybuilding world and from now on will be regarded as one of the world's best. Placed side-by-side to Coleman, Schlierkamp displayed astonishing size and density and even outmuscled him on many poses. When Schlierkamp's free-posing routine finished, the crowd roared louder than for any other competitor. When he was announced in fifth place, the crowd booed with disapproval -- some feeling he should place as high as top-3, others feeling he should outright displace Coleman for the title. So when Gunter received his trophy, he became the only competitor of the evening to receive a standing ovation -- his first of two! Quieting the crowd with a few words at the microphone, the crowd quickly stood again for the well-liked competitor. Ronnie Coleman won the Olympia title, but the night belonged to Gunter Schlierkamp.

The Olympia top-10 finishers were:

1.Ronnie Coleman
2.Kevin Levrone
3.Chris Cormier
4.Dexter Jackson
5.Gunter Schlierkamp
6.Lee Priest
7.Flex Wheeler
8.Markus Ruhl
9.Orville Burke
10.Dennis James
