The Arnold Classic is the premiere event in men’s professional bodybuilding presenting the world’s leading IFBB professional athletes
The Arnold Classic, renamed Arnold Sports Festival, is an annual multidisciplinary sports convention named after Arnold Schwarzenegger, focusing mainly on bodybuilding and fitness and figure competition. It takes place in late February or early March in Columbus, Ohio, United States.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – One of the most famous movie stars, body builders and politicians of all time is back in Columbus this weekend.
Arnold Schwarzenegger greeted the crowds at the Greater Columbus Convention Center for the Arnold Sports Festival on Saturday.
More than 18,000 athletes are competing in 50 sporting events over the weekend, from bodybuilding to table tennis, arm wrestling to gymnastics.
Arnold’s main message to the crowd is that there’s no shortcut to success.
“It’s gymnastics we really love the most, because this is a fantastic sport, for children and grownups, about discipline and hard work and it gives kids the message that the harder they work, the better they get,” Schwarzenegger said.
The Arnold Sports Festivals runs through Sunday at a number of different locations in downtown Columbus.
GS3 Photography was BEYOND fantastic! Our party planner introduced us to Georgio, Yoshito and Amanda, and it was the best connection ever! We are already using him again on an upcoming event. We have showed friends and family our wedding pictures and everyone is blown away by the quality of the pictures, the colors and the shots they got… we asked him for candid ones and he did exactly that! He made our wedding party laugh, which can be a tough act for such a large wedding party! I would say I would use these guys again, but we already are!!!
