kai greene is peoples champ

[nonamewut]

This.

Ramy was the foreign guy whose obviously a little intimidated by his first Olympia. Hesitates to get in the group photo...and BOOM comes Kai with a big smile and gets him in the picture. Feels. Many feels.

best part of the olympia

deserved win but i think phil might be the most unpopular mr. olympia ever (fan wise)

It's not that he's unpopular, it's just that he's currently ahead of the likes of Wolf, Branch(lol), Cutler, Kai etc. and all of these guys have been around for a bit longer than Phil and are massive fan favourites.
Hard to be popular when the bbers below you have huge followings. Especially Kai. Heck, as much as I acknowledge Phil's achievements, I just find it much easier to support Kai.

i think it has to do with his "like-ability" Evan is newer to the pros than phil and he has a larger following

[Messier_Object]

It's been said before, but you can't just edge out the reigning champ. It's not right, but it is what it is. The only thing Phil had him on was slightly better conditioning. Looks like Kai needed about 2 more weeks and he would've had that down.

[armaniac]

No where near close to winning, LMAO. You sir are the delusional one. Kai DWARFED phil. Conditioning about the same. Phil maybe a SLIGHT edge and thats being generous. Look at some pics buddy.

Did you tell him to look at some pics? He was THERE in attendance.

[Brahlbert]

Yes, he really is .

[Flek]

Made Phill look like a 2nd tier bodybuilder. Sad times we live on...

lol, what a great forum this has turned into over the years.

Evan might be newer to the pros, but he's been known for a while. I remember first hearing about Phil from his Flex 2005 cover. Evan had an MD cover in 2006.

But I agree, Evan is more likable to me. When someone refers to himself as "The Gift" to bodybuilding and that someone's name isn't Sergio Oliva or Ronnie Coleman, I have to lol.

[FlabbyAndSick]

Thanks for the video man, so many feels... Poor Ramy felt awkward being a foreign guy who barely speaks English and not joining them and then Kai comes with a hearty smile and puts him into the photo. Great guy.

Agreed. Kai is a genuine dude. Wow, that was nice of him.

[djdougcollins]

Well this is getting hateful :-). Phil won, no matter what anyone's opinion of either man is. Calm down.

[Rambo26]

fukin love Kai!

[mattryken]

Kai is pll's champ but those ppl are delusional. I don't know what the ppl were watching cuts it was clear as day that Kai was nowhere close to winning, just going based off physiques here.

ITT stealth knows the most about womens classes but couldn't see the difference in Phil & Kai.. Kai's muscularity in the finals was years beyond Phils and the conditioning was just edged out by Phil. Think you are overreacting when saying 'Kai was nowhere close to winning'

YES GOOD MAN KAI.


someone imbed

[pharmamarketer]

After seeing the way he dominated phil tonight theres clearly no way he can win olympia due to politics.

kai is the peoples champ

Politics? If you ran a company you would want him representing it? Not me. Not even a little. I wouldn't give him a supp contract. He is a weirdo. Great physique but a fuking weirdo from Mars

[FlabbyAndSick]

Heart of Gold. Love Kai. Had to watch that clip over and over. Think a tear came out. Kai's a good dude.

Your a complete ******* for shunning someone cause they are different then you. Kai is an extremely good person and very intellectual hed be great for a company

try basic economics then. kai is immensely popular (hence the people's choice awards) how would it possibly seem bad business to have him representing a company in this field? in mainstream u have a point, but in bodybuilding he easily pulls the most numbers.

Kai was noticeably softer than Phil. Deal with it or get some prescription eyeglasses. Kai was placing lower in years past at the Olympia where he was bigger than Phil but not as hard. What would make you, him, or anyone else think that going backwards would put him ahead of Phil this year?

I love Kai, but it wasn't even close this year. It was SUPER close last year, and even though I felt Phil deserved the win last year, I wouldn't have had a problem with Kai winning it. This year was a totally different story. Phil was winning since prejudging and held on to that top spot the whole way through. In fact, Wolf was pushing Kai, and I had Wolf in 2nd at prejudging with Kai edging him out for 2nd by the end of the finals.

[Problematique91]

I reckon Kai was closer to winning in 2012 than this year.

[DarrylKensley]

I know one thing.

Kai would not agree with all this bitching.

How is it, that top tier pro athletes in Bodybuilding can avoid all this negativity but a lot of us here cannot? As far as Im concerned thats the secret sauce as to why they are where they are.

[Problematique91]

People get far too emotional over this (and many other sports) in my opinion.

I used to get far too emotional watching MMA years ago but I realised it was crazy, actually loosing sleep over how mad I was that my favourite guy had lost to a guy I hated.

Ridiculous.

[peteyyytran]

Kai wasn't even that "close" I would say. phil scored 1s by all 5 judges lol

[Unbiasedfan]

Like last year, where it was close.
