Roelly Winklaar

Egberton Rulove “Roelly” Etienne-Winklaar first came to national prominence in the US with his overall win at the 2009 NPC Arnold Amateur Championships, displaying a rare combination of massive size and shredded conditioning that heralded big things to come. After earning his pro card Roelly returned for the 2010 IFBB Arnold Classic and turned plenty of heads with an eye-popping physique that earned him a strong seventh place finish in a deep field in his IFBB debut. After placing third at the 2010 IFBB Australia Pro Grand Prix, Roelly shocked the bodybuilding world by winning the 2010 IFBB New York Pro. Seemingly out of nowhere a new star was born.

Another remarkable success was when he was crowned the people's champion at the 2018 Mr. Olympia with the debut of the fan vote.

Roelly is a father of three children (Nygel Winklaar, Daniyah Rijsenburg, Quianah Winklaar). He has one brother Quincy Winklaar and two sisters Etienne Winklaar, Edcharda Winklaar.

Funny fact is that Roelly‘s nickname in the Caribbean means Samurai.
