“Big Ramy” Elssbiay scripted history for Egypt, became the Mr. Olympia 2020 for the first time

Mamdouh Elssbiay, known as "Big Ramy", was crowned the 2020 Mr. Olympia World Bodybuilding Competition title and awarded a check for $400,000 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. 

It is Big Ramy's first victory in the competition. He won the 2nd place in the same competition three years ago.

However, Big Ramy was nearly about not to compete on this season as he was infected with the Coronavirus on October 9, losing the opportunity to qualify for Mr. Olympia officially.

But he received a special invitation on October 22 to participate in the competition, before taking first place in the early hours of Sunday.

After six shots on goal, he finally claimed his maiden ultimate title on December 19.

Here’s the complete of top five in the competition:

1st Place — Mamdouh Elssbiay
2nd Place — Brandon Curry
3rd Place — Phil Heath
4th Place — Hadi Choopan
5th Place — William Bonac
