LAS VEGAS - Former University of Denver men's basketball player Phil Heath won his third-straight Mr. Olympia contest during the 2013 Olympia Fitness and Performance Weekend on Sept. 26-29.

Nicknamed "The Gift," Heath became just the seventh man to win the title three or more times, and he is one of only 13 Mr. Olympia winner since the contest started in 1965, joining the likes of Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the world champion in bodybuilding.

Heath was a member of the Pioneers from 1998-2002, playing 65 games as a point guard and shooting guard, before beginning his professional career in bodybuilding.
