2026 Arnold Classic Wellness International Prejudging Report

Wellness athletes squared off on the Expo Stage at the Greater Columbus Convention Center for 2026 Arnold Classic prejudging. This competition started on Friday, March 6, at 12:30 PM EST. By the end of prejudging, Elisa Alcantara and Rayane Fogal were fighting for the crown.

Eduarda Bezerra laid claim to gold at the Arnold Classic and Olympia last year, but decided to sit out. That leaves room for a new titleholder to emerge, and plenty of contenders stand out.

During prejudging rounds, Elisa Alcantara was in the mix. Her consistency wasn’t by accident; the glute detail, tie-ins, and top-down aesthetics always result in strong performances. She looked confident on the Ohio stage. However, Rayane Fogal brought a stellar package, with a tight waist and a proportionate upper body.

Prejudging is only half the battle; fans look forward to seeing who will become the next Arnold Classic Wellness queen.
