Samson Dauda’s combination of size, symmetry, and conditioning allowed him to stand out on stage, making him a deserving winner of this prestigious title.
A Fierce Competition
While Samson Dauda claimed victory, the competition was nothing short of intense. The 2024 Olympia showcased some of the most formidable competitors the sport has ever seen.
In 2023, Derek Lunsford made history by defeating Hadi Choopan and Samson Dauda to become the first two-division Mr. Olympia, having also won the 212 title earlier in his career.
However, this year, Derek Lunsford was unable to reclaim his crown, finishing in third place.
Hadi Choopan, the 2022 Mr. Olympia champion, fought valiantly and secured second place in the 2024 contest.
Hadi Choopan’s remarkable density and muscle detail made him a force to be reckoned with, but it wasn’t enough to overtake the new champion.
Fans were eager to see Choopan and Lunsford battle it out again, but this year, the title went to Samson Dauda.
