The Chōjin Olympics (超人オリンピック), or Chojin Crown in the dub, is a fictional tournament from Yudetamago's manga and anime series Kinnikuman and its sequel Kinnikuman Nisei.
About[]
The Chōjin Olympics is a tournament arranged and held by the Intergalactic Chojin Committee (宇宙超人委員会, Uchū Chōjin Iinkai) in order to decide who is the top Chojin in the world. Currently 22 tournaments have been held, but only 20th, 21st, and 22nd Tournaments have taken place in the story. For some reason, the main battles are always held in Japan.
In Kinnikuman Nisei it is established that the Chōjin Olympics originated on Earth in Greece.
