It’s a big news in the bodybuilding industry. Phil Heath has just confirmed that he will be competing at the upcoming Mr Olympia 2020. He will be going to make a comeback and win his 8th Mr Olympia title. Phil heath did not compete at the Mr Olympia 2019 which was a big disappointment for all his fans who were waiting for his 8th Mr Olympia title. He has won all the Mr Olympia title from 2011 to 2017, that is 7 in a row. In 2018 he lost the title to Shawn Rhoden which may say was due to his harneia surgery.
After than Phil did not compete in the year 2019. Which left the stage wide open for a new Mr Olympia. Brandon Curry won the Mr Olympia 2019 title in a fierce fight with Roelly Winklar and William Bonac. Even after that event it was not sure that Phil would make a comeback. Although all his fans were eagerly waiting for hime to share some new on his plans. There were also some new of his other surgery and his health conditions that casted more doubts about his readiness to compete at the 2020 championship. Hence the fans were not sure wether he will compete this year or not.
No doubt this announcement now has made all the fans happy. It also makes the line for the competition very very interesting. Phil will try to win it this year and make it his 8th Mr Olympia title. He is tied with Arnold Schwarzenegger with 7 Mr Olympia wins. So far only Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney have won 8 Mr Olympia title. If Phil heath can make it this year, he would join this elite group of 8 Mr O titles.
