Few bodybuilding shows match the prestige of the Arnold Classic. Co-founded in 1989 by Jim Lorimer and seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger, the competition has expanded from a single bodybuilding show to include seven different divisions.
The 2024 Arnold Classic is where the contest’s same home for 35 years: Columbus, OH. The action occurs at the Arnold Sports Festival, an uber-expo for fitness fanatics that includes powerlifting, weightlifting, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions, an expo featuring hundreds of vendors, and the iconic Arnold Strongman & Strongwoman Classic.

2024 Arnold Classic Results
Here are the results from this year’s Arnold Classic contest. We’ll update this page after the full results for each division are announced.
2024 Fitness International Results
After the physique round, the 2024 Fitness International appeared to be Jaclyn Baker’s time to step into the limelight. Fitness contests are notoriously judged across two rounds: physique and routine.
The physique round only counts for one-third of each athlete’s overall score. The routine round determines the remaining two-thirds. This favored the two-time defending champion Ariel Khadr, who made up the gap from the physique round to win her third consecutive Fitness International title.

2024 Wellness International Results
The Wellness International was an expected head-to-head clash between the top two athletes in the division for the past two years. Francielle Mattos is the reigning three-time Wellness Olympia champion, the only division’s Olympia winner since the division’s inception.
Mattos sought to dethrone the defending Wellness International champion Isabelle Pereira Nunes, who came within one point of claiming the Olympia crown from Mattos in 2023. After two relatively fast callouts in the final on March 1, 2024, Mattos was awarded the title with Nunes in the runner-up spot.

2024 Arnold Classic Physique Results
In the biggest upset of the Arnold Classic contest thus far, Wesley Vissers entered the pantheon of Arnold Classic Physique champions. Vissers, who had not scored a podium position at the Olympia nor Arnold, jolted toward the division’s top.
Vissers dethroned defending Arnold Classic Physique champion Ramon Rocha Querioz, who has ranked as the runner-up to five-time Classic Physique Olympia champion Chris Bumstead for the past two years. This arguable upset sets the stage for the 2024 Classic Physique Olympia where the number of contenders to Bumstead’s throne has objectively increased.
