Olympia 2001 - thanks so much ft!

Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2001/10/29, 11:32 AM First off.. I would like to thank freetrainers.. especially George and Adrian for allowing me to be a part of this site and the ft points program. I was fortunate enough to win the grand prize - Mr.Olypia vip ticket! I must say that this even was amazing and I recommend it to anyone with any interest in Health and Fitness. There is something there for everybody! The actual Olympia was truly the bomb! wow.. biggest lineup in years.. 21 competitors.. so many top guys in shape.. here is the final top 10: 1) Ronnie Coleman 2) Jay Cutler 3) Kevin Levrone 4) Shawn Ray 5) Chris Cormier 6) Orville Burke 7) Dennis James 8) Dexter Jackson 9) Nasser El Sonbaty 10) King Kamali I agree with all except the final.. Cutler should have won. However as we know.. bodybuilding is full of politics.. some say the winner is chosen before the contest begins. The reason that Cutler did not win was because he was not extra-ordinarily better than Ronnie.. that is what is needed to de-thrown the current Olympia. It was very close.. I think 4 points or so. But yeah.. Kamali beat Titus which was a huge feud building up to the show and throughout the season. King may have a big mouth but he backed it up.. Well that is my small commentary of the mens show. Thans again ft! .o0 Arnold 0o.
