Sergio Oliva and Frank Zane in GMV BODYBUILDING




This long and exciting Sergio Oliva story started a long time ago. Back in 1966 when Sergio entered his first Mr. Olympia contest, he placed 4th behind eventual winner LARRY SCOTT. I was aware (thanks to Iron Man magazine) of this great new physique called Sergio Oliva.   I really became aware of Sergio’s amazing physique when I saw photos of him being surprisingly beaten by Bob Gajda for the AAU Mr. America title. Sergio then went on to win the 1967, 1968 and 1969 Mr. Olympia titles in convincing style. Then in 1970 Sergio lost his crown to the fast rising star from Austria, Arnold Schwarzenegger.   On September 17th, 1971, I attended and filmed the 1971 NABBA Mr. Universe in London. In the Pro Class it was an incredible lineup with Sergio competing against Bill Pearl in what was to be his last contest, Frank Zane the Overall 1970 Amateur Mr. Universe winner and Reg Park, a 3 time Mr. Universe winner. It was all set to be one hell of a contest.
