2019 Media Info

Welcome to the Olympia!

 

It’s always our great privilege to welcome the worldwide media to Vegas each year.  Your support is a big reason why Olympia Weekend is regarded around the world as the super bowl of the fitness industry. This year marks the 55th edition of the Olympia and we hope you’ll experience all that the weekend has to offer – From the Las Vegas Convention Center to the Orleans Arena. We are pleased to report that increases in overall prize money have made the 2019 Olympia the most lucrative bodybuilding & fitness competition of all time. 

 

Our expanded Fitness & Performance Expo includes a series of new events, including the world famous Spartan Race, the new Olympia Fit Fashion Event, the Pro Skateboarding Showdown, along with several returning attractions including the popular OG Pole Fitness Championship, the Wheelchair Olympia Bodybuilding Championships and of course the pre-judging of the IFBB Professional League’s Olympia Divisions on the main expo stage.

 

This year’s Expo also includes several celebrity appearances.  Keep an eye out for Mark Wahlberg on Friday, Mario Lopez on Saturday along with confirmed appearances all weekend long by Anderson Silva, Goldberg, George St. Pierre, and several of the world’s most popular fitness influencers.  This year’s “Amateur Olympia” is our largest yet with more than 600 amateur athletes from around the world competing here in Las Vegas for opportunities to earn IFBB Professional Status.  With several of the fitness industry’s most coveted titles up for grabs, the 2019 Olympia will be a history-making weekend.

 

Please also join us in welcoming TRIFECTA as our new title sponsor along with Wings of Strength, our new Presenting Sponsor.
