Questions surrounding whether or not Kai Greene will compete at the 2019 Mr. Olympia have been answered. Kai Greene will NOT compete in Mr. Olympia or any other bodybuilding competition until further notice, due to a role in a movie.
It was uncertain whether we would see Greene again at the biggest bodybuilding competition. Despite the fact that he had not said he would, he is qualified for the event by receiving a special invite from the Chief Olympia Officer Dan Solomon. Additionally, with the removal of Shawn Rhoden from being able to compete, this leaves the door open for someone of his experience to step up.
However, our reliable sources in India and Generation Iron now confirms that Kai Greene will not be taking part in Olympia, or any bodybuilding competitions in the foreseeable future.
