The 2026 Mr. Olympia is done — and it has a new champion. 🏆
The 62nd Olympia ran September 24–27, 2026, in Las Vegas, with the finals at the Orleans Arena. Twelve divisions crowned champions across Friday and Saturday night.
Nick Walker won his first Sandow Trophy on Saturday night, beating 2024 champion Samson Dauda and two-time champion Derek Lunsford. Walker also took the fans’ vote as the 2026 People’s Champ. 👑
The shocks came on Friday. Niall Darwen — fifth in 2025 — beat defending champion Ramon Dino and two-time runner-up Mike Sommerfeld to win Classic Physique. In the 212, Keone Pearson made it four titles in a row. And Ryan Terry made it four in a row in Men’s Physique. 💪
Andrea Shaw won her seventh straight Ms. Olympia title. And the weekend made history in a new division — Shealynn Burnett became the first-ever Fit Model Olympia champion. ✨
Hadi Choopan, the 2022 champion and 2025 runner-up, withdrew from the show in August, so he did not compete. Andrew Jacked arrived in Las Vegas unbeaten in 2026, with wins at the Romania Pro, the Arnold Classic and the Arnold Classic UK — and finished fourth.

Men’s Open Results
Nick Walker is the 2026 Mr. Olympia — his first Sandow Trophy, and the $600,000 first prize. 🏆
It was closer than the final score shows. Dauda actually won the finals round, 5 points to Walker’s 10 — but Walker’s prejudging lead (8 to Dauda’s 15) gave him the title, 18 points to 20.
Dauda, the 2024 champion, finished second. Lunsford, the champion in 2023 and 2025, finished third. Andrew Jacked (Chinedu Andrew Obiekea) finished fourth, and Tonio Burton fifth.
Walker came into the show off a Tampa Pro win, after placing sixth at the 2025 Olympia. The win completes one of the great comebacks in the sport — a year ago, many doubted he would even make it back to the Olympia stage.
Prize note: one record lists Dauda’s second-place prize as $250,000. Generation Iron and Fitness Volt both list $200,000, and that is the figure printed here.

Classic Physique Results
Niall Darwen is the new Classic Physique Olympia champion — the biggest shock of the weekend. 😮
Darwen finished fifth at the 2025 Olympia. This year he beat them all: two-time runner-up Mike Sommerfeld in second, and defending champion Ramon Dino in third.
The scoring was tight at the top. Darwen won with 7 points, Sommerfeld had 10, and Dino 14. Wesley Vissers and Terrence Ruffin completed the top five.
Dino won the title in 2025, the year after Chris Bumstead retired as six-time champion. He could not defend it — and Darwen now owns the division’s crown.
