The second day of the 2022 Olympia is underway.
Written by Robert Zeglinski
Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022, saw the approximate second half of the 2022 Olympia get kicked off. With division winners in the 212, Wellness, and Ms. Olympia already set, among others, Saturday’s pre-judging and callouts featured the Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Bikini, and Wheelchair categories.
Notably, the Wheelchair is all-inclusive, meaning final judgments on the competitors in this class will be judged at roughly the same time as initial callouts. The Finals for the three other divisions, as well as the Mr. Olympia, will begin at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Standard. time. Fans can watch the action unfold by purchasing a pay-per-view premium package for $69.99 at the Olympia website — www.olympiaproductions.com.
As each of the callout reports is finalized for every division on Saturday, Breaking Muscle will update this page accordingly with the results.
Classic Physique
Respective callouts for the Classic Physique division started the 2022 Olympia festivities on Saturday. Three-time defending champion Chris Bumstead entered as the favorite. Meanwhile, contenders like Breon Ansley and Terrence Ruffin were in it to try and topple the young dynamo before he made even more history.
As usual, whoever would be featured in the first and last callouts would be considered a favorite and top contender heading into the Finals. Naturally, Bumstead found himself in the final group. Meanwhile, an athlete and former two-time champ like Ansley (2017-2018) — who will transition to the 212 division in 2023 — enjoyed some of his last moments as a Classic Physique competitor.
