Top Winners of the Mr. Olympia, The greatest male bodybuilder
Mr. Olympia is the title awarded to the winner of the professional men's bodybuilding contest at Joe Weider's Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend—an international bodybuilding competition that is held annually and is sanctioned by the IFBB Professional League. Joe Weider created the contest to enable the Mr. Universe winners to continue competing and to earn money. The first Mr. Olympia was held on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City, with Larry Scott winning his first of two straight titles.

The record number of wins is eight each by Lee Haney (1984–1991) and Ronnie Coleman (1998–2005).[3] Hadi Choopan currently holds the title.
Every year, those top bodybuilders we know have aspirations to travel to the Olympia stage, hoping to become the next winner. There is nothing more coveted than a Mr. Olympia win and ever since 1965 when Joe and Ben Weider brought this competition to life, it has stood the test of time as a way to uncover a true champion year in and year out.
The Weider's created Mr. Olympia to allow Mr. Universe winners the opportunity for more competition and the chance to win prize money. The first competition occurred on September 18, 1965, in New York City at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It was then that Larry Scott claimed the first-ever Mr. Olympia title, setting the stage for fellow Olympia champions that conquered the pinnacle of bodybuilding.
