The 2009 Mr Olympia was one of the best competitions in recent years as history was made with the former Mr Olympia winner Jay Cutler, presenting his best ever Olympia physique and regaining his title after having been dethroned by Dexter Jackson, finishing in 2nd place in 2008. When Jay reclaimed the Mr Olympia title in 2009, he accomplished a feat that has never been done by any prior Mr Olympia. Not even the great Ronnie Coleman, arguably one of the best Mr Olympias ever, could succeed at ascending back to the Mr Olympia throne after losing the title to Jay Cutler in 2006. Jay Cutler is the first ever Mr Olympia winner to have lost and then reclaim a Mr Olympia title.

The 2010 Mr Olympia competition promises to be no less exciting than 2009 as Jay Cutler attempts to win a fourth Sandow and reign as Mr Olympia for another year. The 2010 Olympia line up is one of the strongest in recent years, which means that even the slightest slip up in conditioning can be the difference between a top five finish or not even placing. The 2010 Mr Olympia competitors are listed below along with a number signifying if the competitor placed in the top ten and in what position in the 2009 Mr Olympia.
