Congratulations to Jay Cutler, who last night made bodybuilding history by becoming the first man to lose the Mr. Olympia title, then come back and win it again.

Cutler beat out a phenomenally tight and elite field, possibly the best ever assembled at Olympia, and corrected the shortcomings that saw the title momentarily slip out of his hands last year and pass to this year’s third-place finisher, Dexter Jackson.

This year’s placings:

1. Jay Cutler
2. Branch Warren
3. Dexter Jackson
4. Kai Greene
5. Phil Heath
6. Victor Martinez
7. Ronny Rockel
8. Toney Freeman
9. Hidetada Yamagishi
10. Moe Elmoussawi
11. Melvin Anthony
11. Silvio Samuel
13. Gustavo Badell
14. Dennis James
15. Markus Ruhl

Notably, Kai Greene finished 4th in his first ever appearance at the Olympia, an impressive feat, while Toney Freeman continues to impress and compete with the best at age 43.

Congratulations also to the other champions!

Kevin English – Under-202 pounds Mr. Olympia
Iris Kyle – Women’s champion
Nicole Wilkins-Lee – Figure champion
Adela Garcia – Fitness champion
