The 1976 Mr. Olympia contest was an IFBB professional bodybuilding competition held in September, 1976 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, Ohio.

The total prize money awarded was $5,000.


The 1981 Mr. Olympia contest was an IFBB professional bodybuilding competition held on October 10, 1981, at the 

Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, Ohio. Following the 1980 Mr. Olympia political controversy, a number of 

favored bodybuilders boycotted the event, including Frank Zane, Mike Mentzer, and Boyer Coe. Franco Columbu, 

who had not competed since winning the 1976 Olympia due to a career threatening knee injury suffered at the 1977 

World's Strongest Man competition, returned and won his second title, officially retiring after the event.
