Well…time is winding down as the Olympia is drawing nearer and nearer each second. So I’ve made some predictions on how the female side of the Olympia could go down in a matter of weeks. Instead of outright picking a winner for each category, this year, I did something a little bit different. For Figure and Ms. Olympia, I picked out the five women who I think will give the current champions a run for their money, as well as highlight the current champions, and pick a wildcard competitor who could shake up the event. For Fitness Olympia, I chose the six women who I think could win the Fitness Olympia title due to Adela’s injury, as well as a wildcard that could pull off an upset.

Sad news to report. Reigning champ, Adela Garcia has suffered an injury and will require knee surgery sometime next week. The 3x Champ is disappointed that she will not be back to defend her title but tells me she will be back and expects a full recovery. Read more about it on HARDBODY.com.

Phil is into his Olympia prep and is ready to show people that he means business. The local CBS station recently profiled Phil and his current FLEX cover. Check out how Phil can still play the piano and sink a few shots on the basketball court.

The 2008 Olympia Weekend is rapidly approaching and Bodybuilding.com will be covering the event like no other site.

Here are a few of the things that are planned.  Check out some of the things we have going on this year:

In speaking with Jay Cutler last weekend at the 2008 NPC Junior California contest in Pasadena, where he was guest posing, Jay told me that he already started with contest diet, and he will not disappoint his fans. Wearing his Muscletech tank top, Jay said he will complete and win, becoming a three time Mr. Olympian!

Also in the audience and lobby was Silvio Samuel, another competitor who will compete in the Olympia. Silvio looked great, and in one week, at the 2008 Houston Pro on the 4th of July Weekend, it looks like he will win that show, gaining some serious momentum for the Mr. Olympia, which will be his next contest appearance.

As for myself, I will be there for the whole weekend, starting on Thursday with the annual Press Conference, for what is my 12th year going to the big show. I will be shooting pictures for bodybuilding.com, as well as videos, and stories, along with Isaac Hinds, and others.

I hear Bob Cicherillo is going to host the Mr. Olympia again, and there will also be a 202 and Under IFBB show too, as well as a Flex Bikini Model search, which will end up with the winner getting money and a sponsorship contract.

Oh, and soon, I will be giving you some Olympia trivia questions, to see if you really know you stuff.
