The 2021 Mr. Olympia is set to take place October 7th-10th, in Orlando, Florida. This is the current list of athletes who are qualified for the contest, as well as the point standings for those still hoping for an invite.
This year will mark the 57th Olympia to take place, with the athletes excited for a return to normalcy following a turbulent 2020. There have been a litany of IFBB Pro shows for athletes to use to qualify for the contest, with several invitations having already been handed out.
Each week the list of athletes who are qualified for the Olympia continues to grow. The winners of IFBB Pro events are qualified for the biggest show in the sport, and there have been a ton of contests as October draws closer.
The deadline to qualify is September 12th, and at that point the top three bodybuilders with the most points earned from various show placings will also get an invite to the Mr. O. The only exception to this deadline is the Arnold Classic, set to take place on September 25th, where just the Men’s Open winner will qualify for this year, with everyone else qualifying for 2022.
