2023 Mr. Olympia List of Qualified Athletes

Joe Weider’s 59th annual Olympia Fitness and Performance Weekend is set to take place later this year from Nov. 2-5 in Orlando, Florida, at the spacious Orange County Convention Center. Below, you can find a comprehensive list of athletes currently qualified for the sport’s most prestigious event of the year. 

At the top of the Men’s Open class is the reigning Mr. Olympia Hadi Choopan, who took the honor from former two-time titleholder Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay last December. Fans are overwhelmed with curiosity this year as many wonder if 212-turned-Open star Derek Lunsford, Nick ‘The Mutant’ Walker, or another contender will have what it takes to overthrow the champion. 

The world also awaits the return of the dominant four-time Classic Physique Olympia Chris Bumstead. He is aiming to secure his fifth title this year but will have to fend off some quality contenders like Urs Kalecinski and Brazil’s Ramon Ramon Queiroz.
