For those outside the community, bodybuilding competitions are a curious endeavor. The goal is to have the most perfectly sculpted version of the human body possible, assisted by incessant weightlifting, insane dieting, chemical supplements and an incomprehensible amount of tanning oil, but judging who accomplished that the best seems incredibly difficult. Bless those judges for trying, because you can’t please everyone … especially Giannis Magos, who responded to a second-place finish with a hissy fit unbecoming of such a physical specimen.
Though Magos won his weight group at the IFBB Diamond Cup, he finished second overall and lost his damn mind, slapping a judge so hard he sent him to the floor and generally carrying on and yelling at everyone who tries to placate him. Bizarrely, after the slap, he’s allowed to just roam around the stage and exit of his own accord.

One would think that such a violent action would come with immediate consequences, but it seems like we’ll just have to wait around to see if criminal charges or, at the very least sanctions from the IFBB, arise from this incident. It may not make him feel any better, but as a consolation prize, Magos will have to settle for already having really big muscles.
