Uribe cited an undisclosed downside as the explanation for his withdrawal.
Within the 12 months 2021, Worldwide Federation of Bodybuilding and Health (IFBB) Professional League member Darwin Uribe burst onto the scene when he received the 2021 Chicago Professional within the Traditional Physique division. With an earned qualification to the 2021 Mr. Olympia, Uribe ended up forgoing the celebrated contest. The athlete would return the next 12 months to win the 2022 Houston Event of Champions however determined to not compete within the Olympia once more. With one other aggressive season now in full swing in 2023, the bodybuilder has made one other robust resolution.
On Feb. 21, 2023, Uribe revealed in an Instagram put up that he could be withdrawing his place as a presumed Traditional Physique competitor within the 2023 Arnold Traditional (AC). Slightly than compete within the Mar. 2-5, 2023 contest in Columbus, OH, Uribe intends to first work by means of some undisclosed issues first.
Whereas Uribe didn’t make clear precisely what compelled him to withdraw from the 2023 AC (and, by extension, the 2022 Olympia beforehand), he maintained it was one thing he couldn’t simply gloss over and that it was partly out of his management.
” … I’m grateful for get invited for the second time in my sixth Professional present in my quick profession as an expert,” Uribe wrote. “Sadly that is one thing that I received’t be capable of end … sadly I can’t push by means of this now and end as a result of there are at all times extra pink flags, and pink flags point out to you it’s time to cease.”

“This time I’m prioritizing myself, searching for myself, taking in my very own selections greater than expectations or what individuals assume or need from me as an athlete.”
To this point, as a comparatively newer Professional League member, Uribe has by no means competed within the Olympia. In the one AC look of his profession in 2022, the athlete completed in eighth place within the Traditional Physique Division. Two-time Traditional Physique Olympia runner-up Terrence Ruffin received his second consecutive Traditional Physique AC title at that version of the competitors.
It’s unclear what the long run holds for Uribe as a bodybuilder.
