The first Mr Olympia was held in 1965 and there are other body building competitions available of which this is the most prestigious. It is not a new sport and this is certainly not the first winner.

In addition to that, other bodybuilders have won the Mr. Olympia title many times since its beginning in 1965.
Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney have won the Mr. Olympia title for 8 good times, each. Phil Heath and Arnold Schwarzenegger have won the Mr. Olympia title a good 7 times.
However, this was just Samson Dauda's first time winning the Mr. Olympia title. Let's see whether he can do the same by next year with his astonished bodybuilding physique.
