The first night of the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest wraps up after a pair of exciting rounds. On Friday, Dec. 16, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV, competitors in six separate divisions proceeded through the pre-judging round.
The evening saw competitors return to the stage to whittle down the crowd until only the champion remained.
