1ST SET ASK THE CHAMP BY FLEX LEWIS, SIX-TIME 212 OLYMPIA WINNER SETTING RECORDS ADDING TO THE WIN COLUMN. WINNING TRIVIA With victories at the 2017 212 Olympia and the Asia Grand Prix 212, Flex Lewis extended his winning streak to 16 consecutive victories, a record in pro body building. His sixth consecutive win in Vegas is an achievement matched across all IFBB divisions by only a small group of the sport’s all-time top pro competitors. Add in Lewis’ early victories— the titles he took before the winning streak that has characterised his domination of the 212 field—and he has amassed 19 pro victories, a record surpassed only by Dexter Jackson (28), Ronnie Coleman (26), Vince Taylor (22), and Kevin Levrone (20). Says Lewis, “Oh, man— I would love to be top three. That would be crazy. Top five is unreal.” 19 2008 Europa Super Show 202 2009 Atlantic City Pro 202 2011 British Grand Prix 202 2012 British Grand Prix 212 2012–2014 Prague Pro 212 2012–2017 212 Olympia 2014 San Marino Pro 212 2014 Arnold Classic 212 2014–2017 Korean Grand Prix 212 MARCH 2018 | FLEX 139
