With the 2010 Mr. Olympia, the biggest bodybuilding spectacular on the planet, speeding toward us at warped speed, "The Worldwide Leader in Sports" has taken notice.
On Wednesday at 4 p.m. EST, ESPN2's SportsNation will showcase the IFBB Pro League's elite – Phil Heath, Dexter Jackson, Kai Greene, Hidetada Yamagishi and Dennis Wolf – as they discuss NFL football and, of course, the 2010 Mr. Olympia on September 24-25. It's an incredible opportunity for the sport of bodybuilding to reach a broader audience while offering a handful of the finest pros in the game a well-deserved spotlight on national TV.
Said Heath, "I have a chance to be recognized as a top bodybuilder by ESPN, and it's definitely a moment I'll never forget. I'm very excited to represent the IFBB Pro League and its fans in something that hasn't been done in more than a decade. I'd like to thank FLEX, Muscle & Fitness and ESPN for making this Big Kid's dream come true!"
Added Jackson, "It's awesome, man. I can't even tell you how cool this feels. I'm a sports fanatic, so anything we talk about, I'm down. I'm ready to rock!"
