МИСТЕР ОЛИМПИЯ 1989
The 1989 Mr. Olympia was the 25th professional bodybuilding competition held under the IFBB, taking place on September 8–9, 1989, at the Sala Dei Congressi in Rimini, Italy. It was the only Mr. Olympia event held in Italy and the first time the contest spanned two days, with prejudging on Friday evening and finals on Saturday evening — a format which later became standard. The total prize money was $170,000.
Of the 21 competitors, only six advanced to the final posedown. Lee Haney from the USA won his sixth consecutive Mr. Olympia title, tying Arnold Schwarzenegger’s record for consecutive wins; this year he weighed 256 pounds, heavier than usual but with less muscular definition. Lee Labrada (USA) placed second, while Vince Taylor (USA), competing in his Olympia debut and only his second professional contest, took third place. Rich Gaspari (USA), the 1989 Arnold Classic winner, surprisingly finished fourth. Fifth place went to Mohammed Benaziza from Algeria, who was noted for having the best back and abdominal conditioning of the event.
The rest of the standings included Mike Christian (6th), Mike Quinn (7th), Brian Buchanan of the UK (8th), Samir Bannout of Lebanon (9th), Ron Love (10th), Bertil Fox of the UK (11th), Francis Benfatto of France (12th), Austrian pro debut Andreas Münzer (13th), Bob Paris (14th) and Albert Beckles of Barbados (15th). Six other competitors did not place. Notably absent was Gary Strydom, and rookies Nimrod King and Renel Janvier withdrew due to a shoulder injury and illness, respectively.
