Every Natural Olympia champion to win the biggest natural bodybuilding event!\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

The Natural Mr. Olympia<\/strong> contest is the most significant natural bodybuilding event in the sport of natural bodybuilding, it is akin to the <\/span>Mr. Olympia<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro league. What separates Natural Olympia from Mr. Olympia is that every athlete is screened by the best drug testing standards for professional athletes \u2013 World Anti-Doping Agency<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, to make sure they are not using PEDs such as SARMs<\/a><\/strong> or anabolic steroids<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>. In the IFBB, athletes are not screened, and it is not necessarily a secret that a lot of bodybuilders are using performance enhancing drugs to further their progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the <\/span>International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA)\/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA)<\/span><\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the most significant natural bodybuilding federation \u2013 is the event\u2019s host. Our team at Generation Iron<\/a> will cover and list every Natural Olympia winners throughout the years.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1988 Denny Kakos co-founded American Bodybuilding Association (ABA) \u2013 a drug-free bodybuilding organization. He wanted a bodybuilding league that would serve natural athletes and gives out quality awards. In 1990, Kakos later founded the PNBA, an opportunity for natural athletes to compete in professional competitions that qualified to turn pro. The PNBA further expanded to the INBA in 1994 to unite countries and standardize natural bodybuilding globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Competitors from over 60 countries compete in the INBA PNBA league. And at the <\/span>2022 Natural Olympia<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, there were champions in bodybuilding categories from multiple countries. Natural Olympia gives out the most considerable cash and <\/span>prizes for natural bodybuilders<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
