(MENAFN- GetNews) Vegas is set to see sports drama unfold and this fitness expo filled with big name athletes.
The renowned Mr. Olympia Expo will showcase 30+ sports in addition to its worldwide bodybuilding competition and including the new, coed sport, United Grid League.
From Local Beginnings to Broad Appeal
The Grid League began as a small, local event and has grown an international audience over the last 8 years. Mr. Olympia marks the first time the United Grid League will be played outside of the state of Florida and marks yet another milestone in an eventful 2024 Season.
Upgrades in the 2024 Season
In January, the United Grid League rebranded from the Florida Grid League as a reflection of its broad audience and national player involvement. So far there is one team outside of Florida, the Atlanta Wild and the League announced a 2 team expansion plan for 2025.
Grid League also debuted new uniforms, specialty designed by Peachy Athletic and featuring a softer, more flexible fabric, more vibrant colors, and a variety of bottoms to ensure comfort across all body types and preferences.
Additionally, Olipop, a $500M 'better for you soda' brand, signed on as the 2024 Jersey sponsor of the League signifying another area of growth for the sport.
What to Expect at Mr. Olympia
All 8 teams in the UGL will be playing twice at Mr. Olympia in the Regular Season Finale which will determine the teams advancing to the playoffs. Each match holds significant weight and is sure to be intense, sports drama. Stars from the CrossFit world including Alec Smith (playing on the Daytona Venom) and his brother, Ben Smith, Griffin Roelle (playing on the Atlanta Wild), Justin Cotler (coach of well known training camp Underdogs Athletics) and Allison Scudds will be in attendance throughout the weekend.
Grid League partners will also be in attendance including Peachy Athletic, Olipop, goodr sunglasses, JerkFit accessories, and more.
