Ramon Rocha Querioz was the favorite to defend his crown at the 2024 Arnold Classic Physique contest in Columbus, OH. The fans expected Urs Kalecinski to rise to the occasion as Querioz’s top contender.
While Kalecinski was in the mix at the top during pre-judging, Wesley Vissers surprised the fans with the size of his physique and the quality of his conditioning.
Drama was abundant leading into the finals in the Battelle Grand Ballroom. The competitors were introduced for their individual routines before the judges put them through more comparisons.
When every pose was hit again and again and again for the judges, the top prize ultimately went to Wesley Vissers.
