Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay Will Not Compete at the 2024 Olympia

Olympia President Dan Solomon confirmed the news.

The 2024 Olympia contest is scheduled for Oct. 11-13, 2024, in Las Vegas, NV. As usual, the main event is the Mr. Olympia competition, where one Man’s Open bodybuilder will achieve the historic victory and raise the Sandow trophy at the 60th edition of the contest.

Of the elite athletes currently qualified who could achieve that feat, two-time Mr. Olympia champion Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay will not be among them. In an interview with , Olympia President Dan Solomon said Big Ramy will not compete in the 2024 Mr. Olympia contest.

After achieving back-to-back wins at the Mr. Olympia contest in 2020 and 2021, Big Ramy fell to fifth place at the 2022 Olympia. Despite remaining amongst the world’s best Men’s Open competitors, Big Ramy did not compete at the 2023 Olympia and will repeat his absence in 2024.

As a former Mr. Olympia, Big Ramy holds a lifetime invite to compete on the Olympia stage in the Men’s Open division. However, there is a caveat that if he is absent for five years, he would need permission to exercise his lifetime qualification.
