1978 Mr Olympia Dramatics

Frank Zane captures his second Mr Olympia crown.  Robby Robinson would finish 2nd and Roy Callendar 3rd.   

A disappointed and angered Kalman Szkalak, the 5th place finisher, expressed his disappointment with the now infamous “Nailed to the Cross!” pose.  No doubt about it he felt that he was maliciously crucified.

This 17 page contest report is loaded with some magnificent photos of the event. A must read!
