The people of Shiraz welcomed Hadi Choopan at the airport

El Guindy even offered some insight to the third-place finisher, Nick Walker, who beat both previous Mr. Olympia winners in this contest – Big Ramy and Brandon Curry.

“He’s an unstoppable force. He’s massive, he’s conditioned, and he’s getting better and better and better. It feels like that Nick Walker will at some point in the future win the Mr. Olympia…What Nick has to do is pose better, make his physique look more aesthetically pleasing to beat guys like Derek and Hadi.”
