Many bodybuilders have played an important role in the history of the Olympiad, and many people remember the names of bodybuilders mostly because they have won titles in the Olympiad arena, like eight-time Olympiad champion Ronnie Kuhlman, seven-time Schwarzenegger, and Jay Carter, Lee Haney, Phil Sis, and so on. But those second and third place bodybuilders are rarely mentioned, but they are not without championship strength, but sometimes affected by a variety of factors make them miss the opportunity to win the championship.
The following five bodybuilders have a genetic base, but they have not won the Olympic championship, but are remembered by everyone.

In 1986, he again placed second at the NPC Nationals before falling ill again, after which he really recovered. But after a long time he wanted to participate again is not so strong, after all, bodybuilding once a long time without training will be a big gap in addition to age, it is difficult to have a place.
-Kevin Levrone-
Kevin Levrone, who won 23 IFBB professional championships, was later surpassed by Ronnie Kuhlman. Four times he placed second in the Mr. Olympia competition, but it's hard to imagine that he never won an Olympia title, seeing his well-developed muscles and superb muscle tone, but the Olympia scene owes him a title.
-Flax Wheeler-
Flex Wheeler, who just recently had his right leg amputated, has won the Arnold Classic four times, finished second at the Olympia three times, and was described by Arnold Schwarzenegger (Arnold Schwarzenegger) as one of the greatest bodybuilders he has ever seen. Ronnie Coleman says Wheeler is the best bodybuilder he has ever competed against.
-Kai Greene-
Kai Greene is one of the greatest bodybuilders of the 20th century, he finished second in the Olympia three times, but he hasn't competed since 2014 because of an unpleasant incident with the Olympia programmers. It has to be said that he has the genes and his showdown with Fircius has been watched by everyone, the most knowledgeable artist in bodybuilding who not only knows how to dance, but is also a painter.
-Tom Platts-
