The 2023 Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend in Orlando, Florida, was more than just a showcase of the finest physiques; it was a battleground where old rivalries were reignited, and emerging stars staked their claim among the sport’s elite. As the premier bodybuilding event celebrated its 59th anniversary, competitors across 11 divisions fervently battled for supremacy and the chance to make history.
Below are the official scorecards that show how the athletes performed in the competition. They clearly indicate each athlete’s placing, with a lower score meaning a higher position in the bodybuilding contest.
2023 Olympia Scorecard Tables
Check out the top full results & scorecards in each division:
The precision in scoring at the 2023 Olympia is outlined by ifbbpro.com, where the essence of judging is based on the “total package” — an intricate balance of size, symmetry, and muscularity. In bodybuilding, a realm where the subjective can overshadow the objective, the IFBB Pro League’s average-based scoring system comes into play to ensure a level playing field. With seven judges at the helm, the scores cast for each athlete undergo a process of elimination, with the highest and lowest figures being removed to cultivate the fairest averages.
Aspirants in the revered Mr. Olympia category know the unique challenge well: they must aim for a score that defies conventional competition — the lower, the better. Ranked from one to fifteen, with anyone outside this elite circle collectively taking the sixteenth spot, athletes push their limits for the smallest score, a paradoxical yet prestigious goal that is synonymous with victory. This pursuit is where bodybuilding legends are crafted, and tales of triumph etched into the annals of the sport. For further insight into the nuances of this competitive world, explore the depths of bodybuilding divisions and the criteria for judging Men’s Open Bodybuilding competitions.
