Olympia Contest Coverage Sponsored by BODYPRO Gym
When it was announced that the 2020 Olympia moved to Orlando Florida, many bodybuilding fans expected to see a scaled-down version of the annual Olympia event. Well, once the weekend’s action got underway, we quickly realized this was not the case. Jake Wood, Dan Solomon, and the rest of the Olympia production team brought us a true spectacle of a show. When we got that first look at the Olympia finals stage, our jaws dropped. Whether you were there in the audience or watching at home on pay-per-view, you knew this was going to be a bigger and better Olympia than we’ve seen in a long time.
Olympia Owner Jake Wood made it clear that one of the first goals he set after acquiring the Olympia, was to bring Women’s Bodybuilding back to the contest. It was a great showing by all the women who graced the stage this year . With so much excitement surrounding the return of these women to the big show, we expected to see 10-time Ms. Olympia Champion Iris Kyle to be the one walking away with the title once again. But when Friday’s prejudging round was completed, all the buzz was about why was Kyle not seen on stage? Shortly after the ladies were finished on stage, Iris Kyle announced that she was not competing due to an undisclosed illness.
Andrea Shaw Wins Ms.Olympia 2020
While the absence of Iris Kyle was disappointing, the excitement from the rest of the athletes who took to the stage kept us more than entertained. The competition between Helle Trevino and Andrea Shaw was a showdown beyond expectations. Fans could not be happier to see Andrew Shaw walk away as the New Ms. Olympia Champion. She has incredible shape, full muscle bellies, and sharp conditioning, while still maintaining a feminine look.
While Canadian IFBB Pro Nicki Chartrand did not place in the top 5, she really did leave a lasting impression on the audience. Nicki ended up placing 8th in her first Ms. Olympia competition. She brought a physique that was conditioned with great muscle definition. Chartrand really brought flavour and colour to her posing routine and in the final posedown at the end of the show which really hyped up the crowd and showed she was having a blast on stage.
Fellow Canadian Janeen Lankowski was impressive in her presentation and routine. Although she finished in 15th place, she should be very proud of the physique she brought to the stage. Janeen showed that she was comfortable on stage and a true performer. We don’t know if Janeen was still experiencing some of the back pain she was dealing with at the Rising Phoenix World Championships. If she was still having issues, she didn’t let it show on stage.
