🏆Translation of Hady Choopan talks🏆 He said: This year Hady Choopan is like a desert. Everyone who wants to be in this desert has to step in very dry and get used to dryness or else WILL BE BERNT UP! No one would think that [ Translator translated the Qs wrongly! he translated : Last year you thought that you should have won ]. In the stage of master Olympia your body needs to be 3D. I came with my best body like always and I wouldn't have thought that I would get that result, but this year I came with a body that NO ONE CAN GET CLOSE TO ME. Shawn, you have many championships yourself and know when someone loses his championship has what kind of vibe and feeling. Especially at the moment that you have no sugar, no water, no salt, in your body its control is very difficult. Last year I got that weird feeling, I hugged and congratulated Derek and after that I could not control myself to stay on the stage anymore.

Bro the translater caught lacking

[@karoshiman]

Thanks buddy. This poor translator gets on my nerves.

[@FershteGholami]

​@@Yujiro945That's exactly what he said.

[@jasonblahblahfatness]

Bro, it's been a year. People need to move on. No one made a fuss about Phil taking off his medal and walking off the stage. Leave the guy alone. I feel like its almost a deliberate distraction tactic for Shawn to ask him that. Hadi handled it well.

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

At least now it's totally in the past, I feel it was legit of Shawn to ask.

[@aliposhtpazan2625]

Excellent question. I was always waited for that question and the answer from Hadi. Many thanks for your channel

[@abdullahalbesher3279]

Hadi : said I couldn’t control my feelings that’s why I walked away . The translator cover up what hadi said 😁

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

A few Farsi speakers have pointed this out

[@kevinhenry1316]

This is why I like Shawn . I come from that era where accountability matters. So many flakes/phony ppl today and guaranteed Hadi will flip if he loses lol .

[@krisbrag87]

In reality you show here really clearly given your comment that you come from a era of imature and tragic individuals with no character "flakes/ phony people😅🤷🏼 😅

[@kevinhenry1316]

@@krisbrag87 your comment makes no sense .. Shawn called him out and I am saying that’s a good thing . Wish it happened more . This social media era of bodybuilding is terrible. No one ever looks like their pictures online for example. Everyone and everything is faked to much. So explain what is phony? Hadi looked so pissed off and he clearly knew he did a dick move .

[@patriotir]

He didnt lose he was robbed. not once but twice so has all the right to flip

[@henry-bo3np]

(1) I wish Hadi would say "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I wont do it again." (2) If wonder if the Mr. Olympia has a code of conduct by which competitors can be penalized for poor sportsmanship?

[@francescoporcari8597]

As much as I remember that's not the case.

[@muzafarsultan6327]

He was robbed.it was one side competition

[@jmorale7798]

He still didn’t even answer how he would react if he didn’t win again. He doesn’t even wanna tell his fans to calm tf down and idk maybe not send death threats this time???

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

To be fair, it's impossible to say for certain how he will react until he gets to that moment

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

Also, important to note that Hadi never threatened anyone. Those were his fans doing that, which is inexcusable

[@jmorale7798]

@@RonHarrisMuscle right. I just think he should be more outspoken to protect his fellow competitors and show he’s extremely against such deplorable behavior. Cuz oh boy if Hadi doesn’t win again. A storm is coming for the winner no matter what. Hadi better be prepared to tell the pack to stand down 🐺

[@yashara2283]

The translator didn’t ask him if he’d do it again. He didn’t ask him the first time either why he walked off stage

I wish I had been there and asked that question!

[@Darin451]

Oh I guess I could have read the comments lol

[@spoilerman8975]

​​@@RonHarrisMuscleHe did not walk off stage Ron.He turned around and came back. Many competitors have felt like they won the event and felt like walking off stage. At least he didn't stay on stage and stand there and sulk in front of the whole audience like many other second place Olympia winners have. And if i'm not mistaken I believe sean ray may have been one of them. It's damn wrong to put him on the spotlight like that. But if you're okay with being put on the spot from now on I will do it to you on your videos. It's damn wrong the way he did it to him the second time!!

I get some people may not agree with Shawn a lot but what I will say is he's willing to say and touch on things that most people are probably thinking but afraid to say. He holds people accountable and ask the tough questions. Just because he hasn't won a Mr O show doesn't mean he don't know bodybuilding.

I promise no one else up there would have asked Hadi that.

[@marcvolpe8252]

The reason he left the stage is because his translator was awful he was so frustrated that his translator was not doing his job

[@jagarlamudichowdary]

Shawn is the reason, i like you so much Ron 💖. he has no sense of morals, ethics and boundaries. Even a kid would know, he(hadi) lots his temper, even then he left the stage respectfully. Nonetheless it's point less to ask it now, other than bugging his mind, and to remind the fans he is not a proper representative of our sport. People are calling him(shawn ray) as straight shooter, i called him as proper representative/role model of unofficial journalism/journalists. A journalist should always keep the interview going in a entertaining way while keeping it real, by asking questions using his knowledge. Other than rubbing his thoughts to the world. You're an actual representation of proper journalist. He is the other side of the coin.

[@jagarlamudichowdary]

Unofficial I mean by un-ethical, If i can put it mildly of what he is saying.

[@paulcox2447]

You're just a hadi nutrider because of your religion and where you're from. If Andrew Jacked was from the middle east you'd be supporting him too. Shawn IS a straight shooter and people have been talking about Hadi walking off all year. It's only unethical because it's happening to "your guy". God forbid someone hold Hadi accountable for his actions and make him talk about it.

I am rooting 💪 for them to win, as a tall guy, but the history of Mr.O proves otherwise! Any educated journalist will agree on the same on what I have said it is called social skills and saying the news in a mellow manner so the viewers won't get overly sensitive. I am over your limit to comprehend what I am saying , nothing serious!!
