Brisbois is right! Thanks, bro. A quick Google search shows that he competed on the Olympia stage in '87 and '92, just missing the top ten in the latter show. His best showing was probably when he finished 5th at the Arnold in 1990. (Wasn't that the year that Nimrod King got DQ'd for testing positive for Winstrol or some such?)

I looked it up: Yes, it was!

Also, King did compete at the 1991 Olympia, finishing in 15th place. I met him once, he totally came across as a good guy, very friendly, outgoing, and patient with the young kid with a million questions. He was into high reps and high carbs, which surprised me.

So... if Pakulski and Abiad both compete at the Olympia (in a couple of years...) would that mark the first time that there have been two Canadians contending for the top prize at the same time?
