2013?

Even at 61, Robby Robinson displays the kind of muscularity that brought him within a hairsbreadth of bodybuilding’s most coveted title.
With the (temporary) retirement of Arnold Schwarzenegger and, a year later, his successor, Columbu, the 1977 Olympia marked the dawn of a new era, and with his thoroughly modern peaks and valleys, the 1976 Mr. International and Mr. Universe seemed just the man to carry bodybuilding forward. Then Robinson slammed up against the Frank Zane era of streamlined aesthetics. The Black Prince won the "O"’s heavyweight class in ‘77, but Zane took the overall – in essence, an apples-or-oranges result.
Coming into the 1978 contest fresh off high-profile pro victories, Robinson was the early "O" favorite, but Zane took body detailing to a new level while Robinson, who again won the heavies, was not at his best.

Robinson entered the Olympia five additional times, but never bested his two initial placings. He did, however, win the inaugural Masters Mr. Olympia in 1994 and competed until 2001
