Results
This Mr. Olympia contest introduced a new Challenge Round to determine the final standings for the top six. Each bodybuilder in the top six challenge each other top-sixer to one of the eight compulsory poses, trying to highlight his strengths and/or expose his opponents weaknesses. Only 21 points carried over for those six from the first three rounds (6 for 1st place, 5 for 2nd place, 4 for 3rd place, 3 for 2nd place, 1 for 6th place). Then, each pose challenge was worth two points to the winner for a total of 50 points.https://thebarbell.com/2004-mr-olympia/
