"The Battle for the Olympia" is the most well-known series of DVDs after the Mr. Olympia series. This is DVD #1 from 1996. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a brief summary of the 1996 Mr. Olympia: The winner Dorian Yates was as incredible as ever such that no one could touch him. However, Nasser looked awesome and massive, with his back much bigger, wider and better than last year. Many people thought Nasser should of been crowned #1. However it all ended in disaster for poor Nasser. Probably the biggest surprise of the night was Shawn Ray's second place finish, over Nasser! Shawn looked incredible and the top five place finishers all looked great, and almost everyone said that this was the best Mr. Olympia ever. Judging by how close the results were, it was almost a case of anyone in the top 3 placings. Only later on did we learn that Nasser failed the diuretics drug test, and was disqualified (he was announced in 3rd place that evening). A surprise in 9th place was the sensational Charles Clairmonte who was completely overlooked. 1996 Mr. Olympia Results: September 21, 1996 in Chicago, Illinois. 1 Dorian Yates England 2 Shawn Ray USA 3 Kevin Levrone USA 4 Flex Wheeler USA 5 Paul Dillett Canada 6 Ronnie Coleman USA 7 Chris Cormier USA 8 Jean Pierre Fux Switzerland 9 Charles Clairmonte Barbados 10 Mike Francois USA 11 Aaron Baker USA 12 Roland Cziurlok Germany 13 Mike Matarazzo USA Disqualified: Nasser El Sonbaty Yugoslavia Running Time: 125 mins * Available in NTSC DVD Only (Region Free) * THIS DVD WILL PLAY ON ANY DUAL SYSTEM NTSC / PAL DVD PLAYER AND TV.
