FLORIDA (DT) – Derek Lunsford clinched the title of 2023 Mr. Olympia on Saturday. The event took place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Hosted by the International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation (IFBB), the annual competition returns to Orlando for just the fourth time.
Mr. Olympia pre-judging will be held Friday evening, which will also feature the Ms. Olympia finals. The competition’s most well-known event, Mr. Olympia, which began in 1965, will finish up Saturday evening. Arnold Schwarzenegger is perhaps the most famous winner, taking home seven titles in 10 years. However, he’s just short of the record for most wins; that goes to Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney, who have eight victories each.

Let’s talk about the 2023 Bikini Olympia winner
Canadian Bodybuilder Jennifer Dorie Wins 2023 Bikini Olympia. Almost 50 athletes were in the prejudging round of the 2023 Bikini Olympia. That field was reduced to just the top 10 by the evening finals at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The two athletes many fans were talking about were defending champion Maureen Blanquisco and three-time champion Ashley Kaltwasser, who appeared to be in the running for a fourth Olympia win a decade after her first.
The stage was set, and the top 10 walked on that stage on Saturday night, Nov. 4, 2023, to pose for a shot at becoming an Olympia champion. Jennifer Dorie ascended the throne again to become a two-time Bikini Olympia champion in her sixth Olympia appearance.
2021 Bikini Olympia champion Dorie and defending champion Blanquisco were the center of the final callout. After the Men’s Physique and Classic Physique finals, the top 10 Bikini competitors came back for individual posing routines before the award ceremony, which featured all four previous champions in the top five.
