2026 Arnold Classic Bikini International Prejudging Report Final

The 2026 Arnold Classic Bikini International prejudging took place on March 7 at the Arnold Expo Stage in the Columbus Convention Center. Competitors gathered at 11 AM EST. After a handful of callouts, Lauralie Chapados, Aimee Delgado, and Ashlyn Little are fighting for first place. 

In 2025, Vania Auguste cemented herself as the Arnold Classic Bikini champ. However, she opted not to compete at the event this year, leaving the door open for a new titleholder. This year’s lineup was absolutely stacked with world-class athletes. Lauralie Chapados made her return, having won the Arnold Classic three times (2022, 2023, 2024). 

Meanwhile, second-place Olympia finisher Ashlyn Little was on the hunt for gold. She was within arm’s reach last year, too, having scored bronze at the 2025 Arnold Classic. Judges didn’t count out Aimee Delgado or three-time Bikini Olympia legend Ashley Kaltwasser either. The final callout saw Lauralie Chapados, Aimee Delgado, and Ashlyn Little battling it out ahead of the finals this evening. 

Our devoted Fitness Volt team is bringing you a play-by-play, detailed analysis of the entire bodybuilding weekend. Join us for the historic gathering. Check the callout reports below:
