Arnold Classic 2020 Results and Winners

One of the biggest bodybuilding events of the year, the Arnold Classic 2020, has come to a close. The 2020 Arnold Classic this year took place on the weekend of March 6th-7th, 2020 at the Columbus Convention Center. It was one of the most challenging in over 30 years due to the epidemic of covid-19. The promoters were forced to cancel the Arnold Fitness Expo at the Columbus Convention Center. Despite the cancellation of the expo events, the promoters were still allowed to hold the Arnold Classic Bodybuilding events and Strongman events.

The line up was an incredibly exciting one across all divisions that allowed for no easy win upon any of the top competitors. Some of the best pro bodybuilders in the world competed this weekend in Men’s Open, Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Bikini International, Pro Wheelchair, Figure International, Strongman, Fitness International, and Women’s Physique.

We now have the official results in. Check out the full list of results and winners for the Arnold Classic 2020 below. Brought to you by New Millen and Generation Iron Plus.

Official score card below:

“Big Ramy” (Kuwait) and William Bonac (The Netherlands) were certainly the ones to watch heading into the competition this year. They went head-to-head with other legends of the sport, including Nathan De Asha (UK), Lionel Beyeke (France), Cedric McMillan (USA), and Dexter Jackson (USA). Brandon Curry, who won in 2019, will not be competing this year. William Bonac and Cedric McMillan won the previous two years at The Arnold Classic.

Earlier in the prejudging round, the judges narrowed the competition down to four leading bodybuilders. Steve Kuclo, Dexter Jackson, Big Ramy, and William Bonac stood tall in the top 4. Bonac and Jackson were initially placed in the center but in a dramatic turn of events, Jackson was swapped out with Ramy. This seemed to show the judges torn on who should land in second, Ramy or Jackson. Bonac stood consistent as a frontrunner to win the whole show.

This is arguably one of the greatest line ups in Arnold Classic history. Despite the absence of 2019’s winner Brandon Curry (and now Mr. Olympia champion as well), this year’s list of competitors truly brought an action packed show. Certainly suitable for one of the biggest bodybuilding events of the year.
