Nick Walker took home the top honor in bodybuilding on Saturday night, winning the 2026 Mr. Olympia.
Walker was able to emerge victorious from an accomplished field that included Derek Lunsford, who was previously Mr. Olympia in 2023 and 2025. Samson Dauda, who won Mr. Olympia in 2024, was also among Saturday’s finalists.
Here are the top five finishers as well as their earnings.
Walker earned plenty of hardware during the event, as he also won the people’s champ award.
Walker previously finished sixth at last year’s Mr. Olympia, but immediately showed improvement in 2026 before the final result was announced.
He was part of the four-man group in the final callout of Friday’s prejudging alongside Lunsford, Dauda and Andrew Jacked.
Walker previously won the Arnold Classic in 2021 and can now add Mr. Olympia to his résumé.
