When in 1969, Arnold made his debut at the Mr. Olympia stage, he failed to secure the title. Standing next to 3x winner Sergio Oliva, the young lad had his eyes fixed on the following year’s title. Thus, when he returned in 1970, he ensured to claim his title. He secured his first Mr. Olympia title and became the youngest contender to win the competition at 23. A record that remains unbroken to date.
