The 2008 Olympia Weekend schedule is set for September 25-28, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Orleans Arena and Las Vegas Convention Center.

Below, is a list of  IFBB pro bodybuilders that are elgible to compete in the 2008 MR Olympia contest. Of course we should not expect to see a few bodybuilders such as Victor Martinez-due to knee injury, Branch Warren-triceps tear, Kia Greene, and probably Ronnie Coleman as well. Jay Cutler, Dennis Wolf, Dexter Jackson, Phil Heath, and Melvin Anthony are the favorites for a top five finish. Top ten predictions also have Silvio Samuel, Toney Freeman, and Gustavo Badell included. *This list is not final and may be updated. Current as of 9/04/08.
