I just got back from the Olympia.
Ronnie won. Period. I'd love to have seen Jay take it, but Ronnie was just plain better. Dex had by far the most aesthetically pleasing physique. He just doesn't have the size to compete with the big boys, which you need today. Dex was beyond ripped and dry.
At the meet & greet I think Günter (5th) had the longest line of fans, with Ronnie being second. Made me thing Günter might actually do better than he did. Günter actually had a pretty cool posing routein with the terminator thing. I talked with Johnny Jackson and he was really cool and laid back. Dennis James was kind of a dick, but I guess you can't blame him, he seemed really tired and spent.
This years posing routeins seemed to all be slow music to start, then breaking in to a rap song mid way.
WTF was up with Lee (15th out of 16)? He looked like he's a little too into Nascar with the mullet. At the final, his legs looked really smooth, almost no cuts. Like somebody else said, I think he had the wrong month marked on his calendar. He didn't deserve top 12. Less KFC, more cardio.
Kevin L. (6th) seemed satisfied with his placing. I guess that's what happens when you tear your tricept in the middle of contest prep.
Art was limping at the night show. Guess he's still hurting. Props to him for even competing.
Here's the complete listing:
WINNER: RONNIE COLEMAN (USA)
2) Jay Cutler (USA)
3) Dexter Jackson (USA)
4) Dennis James (USA)
5) Günter Schlierkamp (Germany)
6) Kevin Levrone (USA)
7) Darrem Charles (Trinidad and Tobago)
8) Troy Alves (USA)
9) Melvin Anthony (USA)
10) Ernie Taylor (England)
11) Johnnie Jackson (USA)
12) Rodney St. Cloud (USA)
13) Art Atwood (USA)
14) Claude Groulx (Canada)
15) Lee Priest (Australia)
16) Jonathon Davie (Australia)
Note: Top six qualify for 2004 Mr. Olympia contest.
