The 1969 Mr. Olympia was held in New York City and was the fifth edition of the competition. It was won by American bodybuilder Sergio Oliva, who also won the previous year's competition. Oliva became the first person to win the Mr. Olympia title two years in a row.
The competition included a total of nine competitors from various countries such as the USA, Brazil, Germany, and England. Some notable competitors were Dave Draper, who placed second, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who placed fourth. Schwarzenegger, who was largely unknown at the time, went on to win the Mr. Olympia title seven times in the future.
The 1969 Mr. Olympia also marked the first time that the competition was held outside of New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music. It was held at the Manhattan Opera House instead.
Overall, the 1969 Mr. Olympia was a significant event in the history of bodybuilding, as it solidified Oliva's position as one of the sport's all-time greats.
