Slovakian bodybuilding sensation Michal Krizo was among the hottest prospects in last year’s Mr. Olympia contest. However, Krizo didn’t crack the top ten in his first Mr. Olympia. Almost a month has passed since the most prestigious annual bodybuilding contest, and Krizo has voiced his opinion. Earlier, the bodybuilding beast uploaded a video on his YouTube channel where he spoke about the 2022 Mr. Olympia results. In a statement that could surprise many bodybuilding fans, Krizo said Brandon Curry deserved higher than a fourth place at last year’s Mr. Olympia.

Many fans and experts thought the 2022 Mr. Olympia was the contest’s most competitive and exciting edition in recent memory. Last year, newcomers like Andrew Jacked, Samson Dauda, and Derek Lunsford did well. They even beat many bodybuilding veterans. However, Krizo explained why he thought former Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry should’ve placed higher.
