Highlights from the 2023 Arnold Classic Bikini International prejudging.
The 2023 Arnold Classic prejudging continued with Bikini International on Saturday morning and it played out how we expected coming in. There is a clear group at the top and it will make for an exciting battle come Saturday night’s final round.
Maureen Blanquisco entered the event as the reigning Olympia champion while Lauralie Chapados was back on stage to defend her Arnold title from 2022. Of course, Jennifer Dorie swept both events in 2021 while Ashley Kaltwasser is a former multi-time champion.
These four competitors made up the first callout on Saturday while the remaining five were brought out for comparisons after.
The judges brought out the four from the first callout once again in the third. After taking it easy on them in the first, judges decided to get a better look this time around. This will likely be the top four come the final and it will be interesting if any competitor can stand out above others.
The prejudging has now been complete and judges got a chance to see the competitors next to each other. Below, check out a full breakdown of the prejudging round of Bikini.
