Hey fellow pro bb fans.. here's the latest scoop:

2002 Show of Strength Men's Bodybuilding
November 9, 2002 in New Orleans, Louisiana

1. Gunter S.
3. Ronnie Coleman
3. Chris Cormier
4. Lee Priest
5. Dennis James
6. Dexter Jackson
7. TIE--Craig Titus and Bob Cicherillo
9. Ahmad Haider
10. Johnnie Jackson
11. King Kamali
12. Art Atwood

This is amazing.. I personally don't like Ronnie.. but this must be the first time in a LONG time that the best in the world has been knocked down.. the next Olympia is going to be simply amazing!.. Heck.. the Arnold Classic should be something..

Pretty cool...I am not a big Ronnie fan either. I personally don't think he should have won the Olympia this time. Oh well, who knows about judges.

good for him, and its about time! he should have done better at the O, and thats why the crown was SO ticked. but, the show of strength wasnt a weider controled show like the others, and that helps. i dont see gunter (unfortunately) doing the same against coleman or cutler at any ifbb show in the near future. he's just not part of the storyline yet.

FINALLY, I don't really like Ronnie. That gut is waaaaaay too big for him to be that far at the top of bodybuilding. Plus I think his physique has definitely declined in the years. I saw what Gunter looked like at the Olympia, I think he's very deserving of winning this one.

Well I really hope that Gunter can keep this going.. but like rev says.. all upto the judges and how they are influenced. It's nice to see a handful of different winners this year through all the show however, gives more excitement to the sport since we can't really be sure who will wins what next!
