Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding Event
The first Mr. Olympia contest was held in 1965 and it has been an annual event ever since, with the winner receiving a coveted prize named after themselves: "Olympia." The competition attracted many notable winners such as Larry Scott who took home both his titles before going on to win two more from 1968-70 [1].
The Professional Bodybuilding Championships were created by Joe Weider [2] because he felt there should be room for pros alongside amateurs shows.
The film Pumping Iron is most recognized for featuring the buildup to one of bodybuilding's biggest events, Mr. Olympia located in Pretoria- it helped launch Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career and set him on course towards international stardom!
The movie has been said that without this motion picture pumping iron we may never have seen such giants as Lou Ferrigno become famous, because no other films had really showcasing what happened behind closed doors during preparation time before big body building shows.
