The highly awaited 2023 Mr. Olympia Men’s Open competition concluded and it was a packed night of action with names like Dave Bautista and Shaquille O’Neal in the building. Derek Lunsford cemented himself as the new Mr. Olympia in Orlando, Florida after the finals, which took place Saturday, November 4 inside the Orange County Convention Center. This victory established Lunsford as the first-ever two-division Mr. Olympia champion.
This year’s Men’s Open lineup was hampered by a few withdrawals in the lead-up to the marquee show. Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, the former two-time titleholder, opted to rest his physique instead of attempting another show. Then, just three days before stepping on stage, Nick “The Mutant” Walker pulled out due to a severe hamstring tear.
That didn’t stop the world’s best. Hadi Choopan brought his signature conditioning, though he faced resistance from his teammate, former 212 Olympia Derek Lunsford, and contender Samson Dauda, whose stature, fullness, and balance carried him through the prejudging rounds. They took turns center stage, leaving fans unsure of who was ahead on the scorecards.
In the finals, Lunsford, Dauda, and Choopan took part in round two to determine who would take home the title. Ultimately, the hardness and detail of Derek Lunsford led to his 2023 Mr. Olympia title win! Hadi Choopan claimed second place, and Samson Dauda took third. Lunsford also earned the prestigious 2023 People’s Olympia Champ Award.
