Fans were buzzing in the audience at the 2024 Arnold Classic, which welcomed competitors from the Fitness category for prejudging on Friday, March 1 inside the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. After a few call-outs, Tamara Vahn, Ariel Khadr, Jodi Boam, and Michelle Freuda-Mensah are leading the prejudging rounds!
Fitness talent always brings dynamic and exciting posing routines to the table, making the division one of the most entertaining of the IFBB Pro League. Competitors are required not only to possess athletic prowess but also to pose like those in all other divisions. With returning 2022/2023 champion Ariel Khadr in the running for gold alongside Fitness threat Jaclyn Baker, judges were faced with a challenging job.
Fans were overjoyed to welcome the first division of Friday morning. Fitness talent wasted no time in asserting their presence on stage for prejudging. After some intense call-outs, Tamara Vahn, Ariel Khadr, Jodi Boam, and Michelle Freuda-Mensah look to be ahead with tight waists and tapers. With Khadr, Boam, Vahn, and Freuda-Mensah showing off aesthetics and conditioning, it’s anyone’s title.
As for the the second callout, it was evident the completeness and balance of Abby Bolton, Nikolett Szabo, Anna Fomina, Minna Pajulahti, Danielle Chikeles, and Tiffany Chandler impressed the judges quickly. Perhaps they could find themselves pushing back into title contention later tonight. It’s been an exciting affair thus far at the 2024 Arnold Classic Weekend! Fans look forward to the finals!
