The 2023 Men’s Physique Olympia contest is already historic in a sense, because it is the first time that three past winners will be in the same contest. Defending champion Erin Banks is set for a rematch against three-time champion Brandon Hendrickson, who hopes to avenge his loss from last year and beat four-time winner Jeremy Buendia to tie his record for Olympia wins. Buendia is returning to the stage after a five-year absence. Top contender Kyron Holden also beat Banks in the Legion Sports Fest, and momentum is on his side.
Numerical comparisons for all 46 competitors were made, and each man was introduced on Saturday morning, Nov. 4, at the prejudging in the Olympia expo stage. Then, the fans got to see the individual comparisons play out when Steve Weinberger called out the following athletes.
