For those of you who were ecstatic for Athleticon this year, you’re going to requirement to wait one more year. In a step lots of of us are not shocked with, Dwayne Johnson as well as Dany Garcia pushed back the inaugural online event to October 2021. With whatever going on, I feel it’s the very best thing to do as well as agree with their decision to push back the event up until the complying with year.
I got a press release that likewise drew me over to their web site as well as social network pages to verify as well, that Athleticon will step to October 9-10, 2021 in Atlanta, GA. Per the press release Camiseta Cruz Azul as well as the actual Athleticon web site Dany as well as Dwayne said:
“Greatness begins Now
Today, we reveal the brand’s calculated development as well as revolutionary introduce of a complimentary interactive, multi-platform digital community, which will feature accessible as well as exclusive content to ignite enthusiasm as well as stimulate curiosity with the power of the brand’s athletics, wellness as well as enjoyment pillars. The inaugural online event experience will now take location on Saturday, October 9th and Sunday, October 10th, 2021.
We created Athleticon to influence the next step in your health and wellness as well as wellness journey – as well as that won’t stop in 2020. tune in to Athleticon.com and our social channels for new wellness material from us. expect to laugh, sweat, as well as stay inspired with the year.
Athleticon’s robust slate will function continuously-evolving, free material within the areas of high-performance physical fitness, yoga as well as dance, mental health and wellness as well as relationships, enjoyment as well as physical fitness competitions, food as well as nutrition, as well as tech as well as gaming.

We hope you as well as your liked ones are staying healthy as well as safe. We can’t wait to see you in Atlanta next year.”
Attendance would Be Low
While people are stating to open up the economic climate as well as enable everybody to roam freely (I’m one of those people), let’s sit back as well as just believe about Athleticon for a minute. Atlanta is a significant city as well as with as much buzz going around that surrounds Athleticon, I’m not so sure the exact same people who were ecstatic about going to Athleticon in early Camiseta Olympique Marseille 2020 are still that excited.
Moving around your hometown as well as going back to your everyday life is one thing however surrounding yourself with countless people all in a confined area with the Rona still spreading most likely isn’t the very best idea. Sure, we don’t understand what the world will look like later on in 2020 however the last thing Dany as well as Dwayne want to do is get whatever set, spend all that money as well as get whatever lined up just to cancel the show somewhat last minute (think about the chaos that occurred at the Arnold).
The safer play is to just push the event back to 2021, regroup, refocus, as well as continue planning. It likewise provides them a lot more time to pull out all the stops to make Athleticon as huge of an event as what they have been hyping it as much as be (or at least what us blog writers as Camiseta FC Utrecht well as media peeps have been hyping it as much as be).
Some people have been complaining that they waited as well long as well as have kept people in the dark about what was going on, however I don’t see their silence as a negative. I’m sure they were doing their due diligence to figure out what all was going on, if they were able to safe the place for 2021, as well as the logistics included before putting out a press release with the announcement.
More Time to Rethink Their very first Impression
They state you only get one chance to make a great very first perception as well as Athleticon is no different. Dany as well as Dwayne want to make a sprinkle with this event – there’s no question about it. Pushing the event back for one more year enables them even a lot more time to get athletes as well as stars lined up. a lot more time to improve as well as enhance the production value. as well as perhaps even the time they requirement to safe a cord network to cover the event like an actual sport (ESPN, do you hear me? A spelling bee as well as poker is NOT a sport nor takes any type of athletic capability whatsoever).
I can’t see Dwayne as well as Dany sitting back for a year with their feet up not working on improving Athleticon. I see them doubling down to actually make it theshow of 2021 as well as leave people anxious for the complying with year’s event. It’s still as well early for me to say, however I may try to make my method to Athleticon in 2021 just to do some protection as well as produce some material (but that’s all up in the air at the moment – hi Dwayne, feel like putting me up in a great hotel? LOL).
What Does This indicate For the 2020 Mr. Olympia?
I’m sure this is going to piss off a great deal of promoters however at this point, nobody other than the competitors truly cares about shows outside the Olympia for 2020. Dan Solomon, Jake Wood, as well as their team have done a excellent task moving the Olympia to December, put it in a new as well as remarkable location that makes much a lot more sense, as well as I feel is going to put on one of the very best productions we have ever seen in the sport of bodybuilding.
That being said, for all of those who have been wondering if Phil was going to avoid the Olympia as well as hold out for Athleticon have just had a monkey wrench thrown into the mix. If that were true, Phil would requirement to wait yet one more year, after sitting out the previous, to return to the stage. I just don’t see it happening.
Phil isn’t getting any type of younger as well as with Phil checking out making history, I believe he’ll be back in 2020 to try as well as take back his crown. If he were to avoid the 2020 Olympia, I don’t believe we’ll see Phil back on a stage ever once again as well as he’ll officially retire. After all, he’s got nothing delegated verify to anyone.
But with a lot more time to plan Athleticon, 2021 might be the year The rock breaks the internet.
