Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Since its inception in 1965, how many men have held the coveted title of Mr. Olympia?

Answer: 10

In all that time, only ten men have won the title and carried home the coveted Sandow Trophy. This is due to multiple repeat winners and dynasties in the sport of bodybuilding. The winners have been Larry Scott (1965-67), Sergio Oliva(1968,'69), Arnold Schwarzenegger(1970-75,1980), Franco Columbu(1976,1981), Frank Zane(1977-79), Chris Dickerson(1982), Samir Bannout(1983), Lee Haney(1984-91), Dorian Yates(1992-1997)and Ronnie Coleman(1998-2005).

2. What year did Arnold Schwarzenegger win his first Mr. Olympia title?

Answer: 1970

Arnold won his first Sandow trophy on his second appearance on the Olympia stage. He defeated Sergio Oliva.

3. Which of the following men has won the most Mr. Olympia titles?

Answer: Lee Haney

Haney holds the overall record with an impressive eight consecutive wins (1984-1991). Columbu won the Sandow twice, in 1976 and 1981. Dorian Yates ruled the 1990s with six consecutive wins from 1992-1997. Arnold won seven times, with six wins from 1970-1975, and a controversial "out of retirement" victory in 1980. Before Haney's seventh victory, it was widely rumored that Ben and Joe Weider, the founders and organizers of the competition, would not allow anyone to beat Arnold's record of 6 wins. Lee proved everyone wrong, as he entered the contest in perfect condition.
