Samson Dauda etched his name in history by clinching his first-ever Mr. Olympia title on a thrilling Saturday night at Resorts World in Las Vegas. His triumph came at the end of an intense contest, with the judges meticulously analyzing several callouts before declaring a new champion. In addition to being crowned Mr. Olympia, Dauda won over the fans, earning the People’s Champion title, for which he received a championship belt and trophy.
Dauda’s journey to bodybuilding glory has been a relentless and arduous one, culminating in a remarkable win that saw him outshine two former champions—Hadi Choopan and Derek Lunsford. As soon as his name was called, an overwhelmed Dauda fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face, before rising to claim the most prestigious title in the sport.
His victory was significant for more than just personal achievement. It marked the first time the Mr. Olympia title returned to the United Kingdom since Dorian Yates’ iconic six-year reign, which ended in 1997. Saturday’s results also signaled a shakeup in the sport’s hierarchy. For the second consecutive year, 2022 champion Choopan had to settle for second place, while 2023’s titleholder, Lunsford, dropped to third.
