The crowned winner of the Olympia bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas this weekend will reign over the sport for the next year.
Known as the premiere bodybuilding event in the world, the event gained notoriety with title-holders like Arnold Schwarzenegger making it into a Hollywood showcase.
But since the heydey of the Arnold, the sport has gotten bigger -- and so have its competitors.
Out of the 200 or so competitors, about 20 will compete for the coveted Mr. Olympia title.
Notably absent from this year's competition, however, is the Ms. Olympia portion of the event. That's not to say women can't compete, as the Olympia event retained some of the women's categories such as physique and bikini. But the pinnacle Ms. Olympia was dissolved in 2014.
The move probably didn't shock anyone more so than Las Vegas resident Iris Kyle. She is the 10-time winner of the Ms. Olympia title -- that's more than Arnold had at seven -- and is regarded as the most successful bodybuilder of all time.
I am experiencing a void right now," Kyle said. "I no longer have the opportunity to continue my career, something that I chose."
According to Kyle, Olympia organizers didn't give a reason for closing that portion of the event.
