Let\u2019s take a look back at who placed #1 in each Olympia weekend division.<\/h2>\n

With the 2014 Olympia<\/span><\/a> weekend only a week away, we decided to take a look back at the results from last year \u2013 just to freshen everyone up. Will the results be similar to last year or will a new face rise above to shake things up? Let\u2019s recap to get a better look<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s 212: James Flex Lewis<\/h2>\n

\"Generation\"Generation<\/a><\/p>\n

Simply put, Flex Lewis<\/span><\/a> is the king of the 212 competition and in our eyes it seems like that title will remain the same this year. While some may be put off with Lewis baring the same name as the great Flex Wheeler \u2013 we personally think he deserves that title. He carried the nickname since he was a kid and it followed him all the way into being a champion.

Women\u2019s Physique: Dana Linn Bailey<\/h2>\n

\"Generation\"Generation<\/a><\/p>\n

Dana Linn Bailey<\/span> wasn\u2019t always a Physique competitor. Before the division existed, she competed for years as a figure athlete with mediocre results. But when women\u2019s physique finally opened up she jumped at the shot. Her bigger size and sculpted muscles fit well in that division \u2013 awarding her to be the first ever woman to receive a physique pro card. And now last year she was able to land first place at Olympia. Will her amazing rise to power continue this year? We hope so!

Men\u2019s Physique: Mark Anthony Wingson<\/h2>\n

\"Generation\"Generation<\/a><\/p>\n

This one was a bit of a controversial one. A lot of people felt that Wingson didn\u2019t deserve to win the #1 spot last year. Some people dare say that it\u2019s surprising he could even get top 5. But in the end you can\u2019t argue with the facts. Wingson grabbed the first spot \u2013 whether or not he deserved it? Well, let\u2019s see if he can grab it again this year before the comments fly.

Women\u2019s Bodybuilding: Iris Kyle<\/h2>\n

\"Generation\"Generation<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re getting to the heavy hitters. And with Iris Kyle \u2013 you don\u2019t get much better than this. Currently, she holds nine overall Ms. Olympia wins along with seven Ms. International wins. Long story short, she\u2019s a well decorated athlete. Could this be the year that Iris is dethroned? It seems pretty tough when you\u2019ve been constantly ranked as the best female bodybuilder of the time.

Men\u2019s Bodybuilding: Phil Heath<\/h2>\n

\"Generation\"Generation<\/a><\/p>\n

This one doesn\u2019t need an introduction. Phil Heath<\/span><\/a>, The Gift and soon to be legend. A man who seems destined to maintain #1 status and fall into history as one of the greats. Every competition for the past three years Phil Heath has dominated \u2013 only to be given a run for his money by constant runner up Kai Greene. As with every year, the question has to be asked: Will Kai dethrone Phil? We\u2019ll soon find out in a week.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s the 2013 recap for Mr. Olympia. Now it\u2019s your guys turn. Let us know who you think will place first in each of these divisions. Just sound off in the comments below. Or you can share your thoughts on our official Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> pages.<\/p>\n
