Mr. Olympia will be celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and each athlete is excited to be on the Olympia stage. To celebrate the anniversary, Mr. Olympia Brazil has plans that will encourage more people toward the sport. They made a pretty big announcement just a few hours ago. Let's find what they hold for athletes to encourage them.

He announced that they are inviting Mr. Olympia's competitors to Brazil. The federation will be paying for the hotels and airfare expenses. Along with that, they will be paying for a two-day trip to Rio de Janeiro.

We want to continue the 60th celebration of the Mr. Olympia here in Brazil by inviting 50 Olympia athletes to come and compete at the Olympia Brazil, one week after the Mr. Olympia," stated Tamer El Gunidy.
