Blessing Awodibu<\/a> entered the 2022 Mr. Olympia with high hopes. A certifiable dark horse contender<\/a>, some believed Awodibu would enjoy one of the better performances of his career on the Las Vegas, NV, stage. Instead, Awodibu finished outside the top 15 while watching Hadi Choopan get his long-awaited moment of glory<\/a> as the champion who successfully beat Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay<\/a>. In the wake of such a humbling performance, it seems Awodibu would prefer to recalibrate first. <\/p>\n

On Jan. 10, 2023, Awodibu used his Instagram to announce that he would be declining a formal invitation to the 2023 Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Huge thanks to the [Arnold Sports Festival] for the invite, one of my all-time favourite shows, but, unfortunately, I will not be doing the Arnold [Classic] this year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
