This is the best Hadi has been and I have been a fan of his for the past few years. Curry doesn’t quite look like he has his Mr O best anymore.

My first thought seeing Brian Shaw on stage with the winners was Kindergarten Cop.

People are commenting on how it was strange they kept Ramy on the outside for that entire comparison. Normally they would have the top guy in the center, so either they had him as the clear winner and didn’t need to compare him, or he’s not going to win and were comparing Derek, Hadi, and Nick for the win?

Not my favourite but he did look really tight this year. Well done.

A quick scan of the score sheet:
I noticed that Choopan and Lunsford received all the firsts and seconds after dropping the highs and lows in both the Judging and the Finals.
And Walker received all the thirds in the Judging, but dropped one or two thirds in the Finals.
Scoring would tend to indicate that Choopan and Lunsford were separate from the field.
Really pleased to see Samson make top 6 in his first Olympia.
Quoting myself because it turned out the latter was true - Derek, Hadi, and Nick were the top 3!

anyone seen any comparison shots yet ?
I still think he looks like a photoshopped head on that body.
Surprised at how “off” Curry looked compares to the other top competitors.

hard yes, but still has that big blocky mid section which to me messes with his symmetry.
Yer not sure he should have got 4th.
Definitely thought Duda looked way better than Curry but Olympia has always shown favor to former Mr Os
