2022 Olympia Callout Reports
Fitness
Respective callouts for the Fitness Olympia portion of the contest began the day. With defending champion Whitney Jones withdrawing at the last minute, the division saw extra attention with a new victor assured. The 2020 Fitness Olympia champion and 2021 runner-up Missy Truscott appeared poised to regain her title with the opening selection.
The callouts for the Fitness division were based on the athletes’ physique. That will comprise one-third of their overall score. Olympia commentator Bob Cicherillo noted that four-time Fitness Olympia winner Oksana Grishina withdrew due to an injury that occurred during her competition prep.
Whoever was first and last amongst the callouts would be frontrunners after the round concluded, making this portion particularly important. Judges get a better look at the athletes by shifting them around during callouts.
Here are the results of the callouts for the 20 Fitness Olympia competitors:

This portion of the contest featured 28 different athletes competing for the 212 title, such as former victors Shaun Clarida (2020) and Kamal Elgargni (2019).
With formal introductions behind them, the largest field in the 212 Olympia’s history had to be evaluated by the judges. As usual, the first and last callouts would get a pole position. Clarida was the only athlete who did not move from the first callout.
