Egypt’s Mamdouh Elssbiay won the Super Heavyweight and Overall titles at the 2012 IFBB Amateur Olympia in Kuwaiit on Saturday, earning his IFBB Pro card in the process. Elssbiay becomes the second competitor to win an Amateur Olympia. Sami Alhaddad won the Overall at last year’s Amateur Olympia, then went on to notch three runner-up finishes in the 212 division in his first full year as an IFBB Pro.
