The IFBB Professional League, along with Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend, is pleased to announce the 2022 Olympia Qualification System (“OQS”).
The 2022 OQS qualifies athletes for the 2022 Olympia. The qualification period starts on September 13, 2021 and ends on November 20, 2022.
The OQS awards points to competitors placing 2nd to 5th. The top 3 athletes with the highest point totals at the end of the qualification period qualify to compete at the Olympia. Ties are broken in favor of the athlete with the better placings (the tier levels are also taken into consideration). Athletes are not moved up if a position becomes vacated.
As of September 13, 2021, only the division winner at the Europa Pro Championships and only the winner at each Wellness contest qualifies for the 2022 Olympia.
Athletes who qualified for the 2021 Olympia but who could not compete due to COVID-related visa restrictions will receive 5 points towards the 2022 Olympia.
WHO QUALIFIES?
- Top 5 from the 2021 Mr. Olympia
- Top 3 from all other 2021 Olympia divisions
