The pre-judging round for the Men’s Physique division at the 2024 Arnold Classic was held on the morning of Saturday, March 2, 2024 at the Arnold Expo stage in Columbus, OH. Diogo Montenegro, Vitor Chaves, Vinicius Mateus Vieira Lima, and Kyron Holden were considered the top contenders for the title due to their appearance in the final pre-judging callout.
If any of them were crowned champion, it would be their first Arnold Classic title. That tone set the stage for the finals in the Battelle Grand Ballroom of the Greater Columbus Convention Center on the night of March 2.
Each athlete faced the judges and fans individually before the comparisons followed, culminating in Diogo Montenegro being crowned champion.
