On this day, October 4, 1980, Arnold Schwarzenegger won his 7th and final Mr. Olympia title! After taking a break from the competition for five years, Arnold returned to claim the crown, adding to the six consecutive victories he earned from 1970 to 1975.

Did You Know?
After the 1980 judging, many audience members booed, believing Schwarzenegger’s victory was based on his popularity rather than his physique, which was seen as lacking his usual size and definition.

Who remembers this controversial win?
