The review includes photos, videos, the final tournament table, prize money amounts, and links to results in other divisions of the 2022 Olympia. Let's start summarizing the tournament with a review of the Top 6 Men's Physique leaders.
At the bottom of the page, there is a video comparing the Top 3 leaders of the Men's Physique division.
Kyron Holden 6th place
Closing the Top 6 best athletes in Men's Physique is Kyron Holden. This year, the athlete failed to improve or even demonstrate last year's result.
The emergence of new promising athletes creates tougher competition—resulting in Kyron dropping two positions and taking 6th place at the 2022 Olympia.
Edvan Palmeira 5th place
Debutant Edvan Ferreira Palmeira surpasses Kyron Holden. In his first Olympia, the athlete immediately becomes fifth and receives $4000 as an encouraging prize.
Charjo Grant 4th place
Charjo Grant significantly improved his result compared to the 2021 Olympia. The athlete rises from twelfth position to fourth and takes home $6000. Excellent work, and this year can be confidently called very productive for Charjo.
Top 3 Olympia 2022 Men's Physique
Diogo Montenegro 3rd place
Diogo probably has much larger ambitions beyond the top 3 of Olympia, and it's quite possible that in the future he will still be able to improve and surprise the audience with his physique. However, at the moment, the judges deemed the athlete's efforts worthy of only third place.
Diogo Montenegro couldn't rise higher and occupies the same position in the final tournament table as last year. The athlete earns another bronze medal and takes home $10,000 as a consolation prize.
Brandon Hendrickson 2nd place
This year, Brandon Hendrickson failed to win and become a four-time holder of the "Mr. Olympia" title in the Men's Physique category.
It's difficult to formulate any constructive criticisms regarding Brandon's physique. He was good, came on stage in excellent condition, and was as charismatic as ever.
However, in the final tally, Hendrickson conceded a whopping 5 points to the new leader. Well, in the history of the Olympia, there has already been a case where Brandon lost the championship title, then returned and won again.
Erin Banks Winner of Olympia 2022 Men's Physique
It is Erin Banks who becomes the winner in the Men's Physique category. This athlete achieves a monumental success, as it is only his second appearance on the Olympia stage.
Just a reminder, in his debut Olympia last year, Erin Banks took second place. A year later, the athlete becomes the holder of the title of the most prestigious fitness tournament.
Let's see how events unfold further. Will Brandon Hendrickson take revenge or, on the contrary, will the new champion only strengthen his leadership position — the next Olympia will show.
