FLEX Magazine: Mike Matarazzos Olympia Journal: Report One:

"Over the next two days, I’ll be stopping in to see some of the guys in their rooms, and I’ll also be hanging out at the Expo and Weider Muscle Beach here, so I’ll have the inside scoop on how some of the competitors are looking, among other things.

So far, I’ve seen only a physique shot of Dennis James. Below is a sneak peek at DJ, and I believe he’s going to make some noise at the contest, and do better than he expects to do."

Mike Matarazzos Olympia Journal: Report Two:

"I have to admit that as the Mr. Olympia approaches, I feel a lingering sadness about not competing. This is the first time in five years that I’m not doing it, and now that it’s here, it’s hard to adjust. It just makes me that much hungrier to get back to the stage. And getting the feedback and support from so many fans really gets me stimulated to throw myself back into the game."

Mike Matarazzos Olympia Journal: Report Three:

"With the Ms. Olympia, this is the first year there was a separation with weight classes. I personally believe it was a great idea. I think it gave a more level playing field for some of the smaller women. It gives more variety, but they should still have an overall Ms. Olympia, especially with lightweight champ Andrulla Blanchette, as incredible as she looked."

Mike Matarazzos Olympia Journal: Final Report:

"Ronnie is just incredibly tough to beat. He had a lot of meat on him, and he made everyone else look small. He deserved to win, but I was also very impressed with Kevin."

"Here are a few short clips of Frank Zane and Sergio Oliva speaking and signing autographs saturday at the olympia:
