If he brings anything like he did at the 2017 San Marino, 2019 Vancouver or even manages to improve on that (stops shooting delts with gear) and say Ramy doesn’t nail it again...then yes, it’s possible.

I agree , but he needs to add a tad more tricep and delt thickness. THAT and repeat the same conditioning of the 2020 Olympia.
I'd also urge him to perfect his basic comparison poses and stances .
If Ramy's a tad off, all these small differences can add allow Hadi to eek out a win.
Fair or not, Ramy just has the OMG factor when he hits the stage in condition.

On a personal note, I think Hadi looks more muscular with better head/toe separation in his back poses compared to Ramy.
I can see why Ramy won the 2020 Olympia and see no judging politics or conspiracy. Ramy's a beast and he was conditioned.
The Olympia judges have been consistent on size and wow factor as the winning ticket for many years now.

However, based on my criteria , I'd have picked Hadi 1st in 2020.

Not everyone knows that on Saturday night, the judges scored him second - meaning he beat Curry and Heath! Had he looked that good Friday night, he would have been runner-up to Ramy in the end.

Thanks for the reminder and I give deference to an experienced man who was there watching it live.
Like most others, I was watching from the virtual "cheap seats."

well lets hope the Olympia is wide open and we get a new winner
FLEX

[Griff11]

I can see that happening honestly. Ramy, Hadi, Curry and Flex all mix. It's going to be good

Also Phil was second after pre-judging.

Also Phil was second after pre-judging.

Ron was pointing out that at the sat night finals , Hadi was 2nd on that score.

You're right that at the friday judging, it went : Ramy 1st , Phil 2nd, Brandon 3rd, *Hadi 4th.

The sat. finals were : Ramy 1st, *Hadi 2nd , Brandon 3rd , Phil 4th

Hadis was screwed on Friday

Hadis was screwed on Friday

Not really he was off holding some water and not really separated it was a big improvement on Saturday night.

I'll make it interesting new Mr O next year Roelly

Am I the only one that thinks Hadi was soft from the back in this last Olympia?

Still great but not that granite, dry, 2019 Vancouver look.

I'll make it interesting new Mr O next year Roelly

I’ll never give up on Roelly. That 2018 Olympia look, Saturday finals was dynamite.

Ramy would be in trouble if Roelly could improve even slightly on that.
