International Egyptian champion Mohamed Elsbiaei, known as "Big Ramy," has successfully claimed the "Mr. Olympia 2021" title, marking his second consecutive win after securing the title in 2020. The competition concluded early Sunday, Cairo time, and took place in Orlando, Florida. Three Egyptian competitors participated, with "Big Ramy" leading the group. This is the first time in history that an African Arab athlete has won the "Mr. Olympia" title twice.
The Egyptian champion competed against American Hunter Labrada, Iranian Hadi Choopan, Englishman Nick Walker, Ghanaian William Bonac, and American Brandon Curry. Egyptian and Arab Twitter users celebrated "Big Ramy's" victory, keeping up with the event despite the time difference between the Arab nations and the United States, due to the significant popularity the Egyptian champion gained after his first title win last year. Additionally, several celebrities expressed their support for Big Ramy on social media, including Egyptian comedian Mohamed Henedy, who tweeted multiple times in support of Ramy and the other Egyptians participating in the global championship.
