Nick Walker went from 6th place at the 2025 Mr. Olympia to the 2026 champion… but Samson Dauda actually scored better on finals night. How did the judges still give Walker the title by just 2 points?

In this video I break down the 3 decisive factors that decided the 2026 Mr. Olympia:

→ The mid-section & top-down symmetry change after switching coaches  
→ Why Friday pre-judging mattered more than Saturday posing  
→ The peak timing mistake most fans completely missed  

Was this the right call? Or should Samson Dauda have taken the Sandow?

Drop your opinion in the comments – Nick Walker or Samson Dauda? I’ll pin the best ones.
