It is the second biggest event of the year right behind the Olympia, and the Arnold Classic which takes place every year in Columbus, Ohio will showcase several top-level competitors from each division in March (which means it’s not far away). And we have some really exciting news as the lineups for each division have recently been announced in a press release by the Arnold Sports Festival of which we have the details.
The 2020 Arnold Classic Sports Festival will take place March 5-8.
But the Fitness International, Figure International, and Women’s Physique International will take place Friday, March 6, while the Arnold Classic, Arnold Classic Physique, Arnold Men’s Physique, and Bikini International will take place on Saturday, March 7. Pre-judging and finals will be at the Battelle Grand.
There will be several new champions crowned as many from last year will not be returning to defend their titles. And you can get more information about the former champions who will not compete at the 2020 Arnold Classic here.
Here’s the lineup from each division for the 2020 Arnold Classic…
