Day In The Life | 1 Day Out | Mr. Olympia 2023

[@mmm-rf5ce]

Dear Derek, I congratulate you on the championship, I am Iranian, but we respect your championship, because your character and the work you do is at the level of a championship. Only some of us are sad and angry because of Hadi's loss. I have nothing to do with the judges' decision. Undoubtedly, Both of you brought amazing bodies to the stage. Your progress compared to last year showed that you deserve the championship.

[@Godsslave777]

I wanted Hadi to win but Derek deserved it he looked 3% better than Hadi imo it was close but Derek definitely deserved it. It was no robbery

[@primalconcretesledge3137]

Maybe tell your dethroned Iranian ex-champ to take a clinic in sportsmanship and decorum. The way he ran off the stage was such a petulant immature move.

[@mobarez13]

As an Iranian fan and Hadi's fan I express my congratulations for your win and enjoy the moment. Sport is the only thing we have in this world that can unite us all. You worked hard and it's time for celebration

Derek is 💯…His response to Phil… is exactly what I thought he would say before he even said it. Phil really exposed himself With that question… and so did Derek with his response… And New Mr.Olympia 2023 .. DEREK LUNSFORD‼️

[@Avatarkyd]

I was pulling for Samson but 100% Derek is going to be a LEGEND with that different physique, attitude and mindset than past champs like Phil. Great answer Derek aka 2023 CHAMP. I'm now excited for the future of the OPEN since we don't have anymore belly-hanging athletes (Thanks to Derek, Samson, Hadi, Andrew Jacked.....THE FUTURE)

[@weszillich5050]

Phil is so cringe man, how he talks is very annoying

Well said on your reply to Phil Heath's talk. Everyone is different. I'm not anywhere close to your level of spirituality and belief but appreciate being a good person. The respect you have for others including competitors and your approach is uniquely yours. You own that very well and you definitely have the killer attitude and work ethic to take that title.

I didn't like Phil's final comment. Where is the class? Like I said in a previous video.i like the way Derek carries himself.he isn't always saying f this f that.did we ever hear Lee Haney speak like that? No we didn't, have some class!

[@neomerevol]

For decades, the Mister Olympia champions have always shown that in order to become champions they have had to trample on others no matter what. In a current world, full of violence, wars, without hope and with a dark future... when someone says that their inspiration comes from a positive place and with respect for faith, it seriously brings a LIGHT OF HOPE that there is. others path, positive paths, to achieve greatness. Thank you Derek for preaching with what there is currently the least... FAITH AND LOVE. Best of luck, from Mexico, to be our new Mr. Olympia 2023.

[@jamescorcino3695]

I’m glad you answer to Phil was put on your channel for everyone to hear. To walk like Jesus is to share love , compassion, and patience even if approached in an aggressive manner. You preach it and do it. The Lord is with you 🙏🏼 And if you get the chance, put your hands on Nick Walker and pray for him during his unfortunate time and that all involved heal him.

[@Abstract-Art-Yohannan]

[@Disciplined.Disciple]

[@1armeddrummerinaprisonrock244]

@@Gladiator1972 If its a sin to do bodybuilding, God would tell it to you at some point in your life, you would feel wrong doing shows or train. If you become christian youre not a perfect person , you have to realize many things youre doing are bad, but it needs time. its the reason why youre doing something and if you put it above God or not. I personally thing, the reason why youre bodybuilding is important , if you only train and make shows to get attention,fame, that people admireyou, money - everything for your ego and for this world, not for God - then its sin.

Derek youll be a champion like no other. One that Phil always wanted to be but could never be. He really was trying to make you like him because he chose to be like that. On a personal level you meeting your mom for that brief moment spoke volumes. Her face said it all. She with one stare and in 3 seconds she was on camera said how much she loved you, how much you make her proud and how utterly elated she feels about what you've accomplished with the Lord and in your own life. I could see right through her eyes. There is no stopping you Derek. Not as long as you make things possible, all things possible, through Christ.
