Mr. Olympia is one of the most popular bodybuilding competitions that takes place every year. The championship began in 1965, with Larry Scott lifting the trophy for the first time. Since then, 57 successful editions have been conducted, and now the 58th is around the corner.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the most popular Mr. Olympia, while Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney won the title the most times. Mamdouh Elssbiay has held the title for the last two years and is now vying for his third victory.

Mr. Olympia 2022 will start on Friday, December 16, with the pre-judging round already completed on December 15. It will be a two-day championship in which 11 men's and women's tournaments are scheduled. On Sunday, December 18, the event will conclude with the Superstar Seminar.

It is important to note that this year, Mr. Olympia will be televised on Olympia TV for a prime subscription of $69.99.

The event will take place at the Zappos Theater of the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The purse for the championship increased from last year, and in 2022, $1.6 million will be distributed among the winners of the 11 events.
