Arnold Classic 2022 Pro Wheelchair Results
Gabriele Andriulli wins Pro Wheelchair at the Arnold Classic 2022!
The Pro Wheelchair division in bodybuilding continues to grow each year and it has become staples at the two biggest bodybuilding shows of the season over the years. The Olympia and Arnold Classic have featured Pro Wheelchair and this has helped grow popularity in the division. After missing out on the action in 2021, the division returned this time around and saw Gabriele Andriulli pull off an upset over Harold Kelley.
This is the sixth year that Pro Wheelchair has been featured in the Arnold Classic and Kelley has won the first five competitions. Kelly has also dominated the Olympia but Andriulli has been creeping closer and closer each competition. He was finally able to reach the pinnacle.
Andruilli has victories on multiple occasions at the Toronto Pro SuperShow. This was his third Arnold Classic competition. He finished third in 2016 and 2018 with a second place finish sandwiched between in 2017. Andriuilli has also finished as the runner-up to Kelley in the Olympia in 2019 and 2021.

Arnold Classic 2022 Wellness International Prejudging Report & Analysis
Highlights from the Arnold Classic 2022 Wellness International prejudging.
The Arnold Classic 2022 Wellness prejudging has come to an end. This gave a clear picture on who will be leading the way going into the finals. This is the first time this division will be featured at the Arnold Classic. It made its debut at the Olympia in 2021 with Francielle Mattos taking home the title.
While Mattos might not be competing, the competitors who finished in the next five spots at the Olympia were present during prejudging. Angela Borges and Isabella Nunes entered as favorites to take home the title while Yarisha Ayala also has a chance to finish near the top. Sunny Andrews and Julia Chittara are considered dark-horse athletes who could make some noise.
This ended up being the group in a large first callout, along with Kassandra Gillis. It is clear that the judges wanted to get a good look at a close group in order to make decisions for the final callouts. Borges and Nunes spent time in the middle during a fast callout. This could mean the judges have an idea in their head and might break it down further as it goes on. The second callout featured the four competitors who did not appear in the first.
Ayala and Gillis were brought back out in the third callout, along with Borges and Ragusa who seemed to work their way up. This seemed to be a battle for fifth and on as the final callout featured Nunes, Borges, Andrews, and Chitarra. When looking at comparisons, Borges stood out and will be one of the major favorites heading into the finals on Saturday night.
This division might very well come down to the wire during the finals. Make sure to keep a close eye on comparisons and the rest of the results leading into the night portion of the event. Stay tuned to Generation Iron Fitness Network as we continue to provide coverage.

Arnold Classic 2022 Bikini International Prejudging Report & Analysis
Highlights from the Arnold Classic 2022 Bikini International prejudging.
The Arnold Classic 2022 Bikini International prejudging has come to an end. This gave a clear picture on who will be leading the way going into the finals. With Jennifer Dorie out of the competition, this means there will be a new champion and some previous winners took the stage once again.
Elisa Pecini won the competition in 2020 before finishing as the runner-up to Dorie in September. Ashley Kaltwasser won the Arnold Classic Bikini International in 2014 and 2015. She is still performing at a high level. Bikini International has turned into an extremely deep division over the years. Lauralie Chapados has taken huge strides in recent years and will look to add an Arnold Classic victory to her resume after finishing as the runner-up in the Olympia.
Chapados emerged as one of the favorites early in the callouts. The Bikini division is extremely deep and it is because all competitors keep improving. Kaltwasser and Pecini were also featured in the first callout, along with Maureen Blanquisco. It is not surprising that this group has emerged as frontrunners. It is full of former champions and the judges gave all four plenty of time in centerstage to get a look.
The second callout featured the next six competitors. Jourdanne Lee and Alessia Facchin spent time in the center. Lee impressed in the second callout and has a chance to rise come the finals on Saturday night. The final callout featured the same group from the first. This is likely to be the top four competitors heading into the final round. It is bound to be a close finish when Bikini competitors take the stage once again.
This division might very well come down to the wire during the finals. Make sure to keep a close eye on comparisons and the rest of the results leading into the night portion of the event. Stay tuned to Generation Iron Fitness Network as we continue to provide coverage.

Arnold Classic 2022 Men’s Physique Prejudging Report & Analysis
Highlights from the Arnold Classic 2022 Men’s Physique prejudging.
The Men’s Physique division made its return to the Arnold Classic and the prejudging has not been completed. There is now a clear sense of what might happen during the finals moving forward.
This division has been dominated by Brandon Hendrickson, who is the reigning three-time Men’s Physique Olympia champion. Despite his recent dominance, Hendrickson has been challenged by some other elite competitors. This includes Erin Banks and Diogo Montenegro. Both Banks and Montenegro entered the Arnold coming off second and third place finishes, respectively, during the Olympia in October.
As the callouts began, Banks and Montenegro stood out immediately. Banks possesses that incredible size, especially with his lats, that stands out right away. Emmanuel Hunter also impressed with a small waist and great size. Antoine Weatherspoon was also featured in the first callout. The judges gave all four competitors a chance in each position on the stage. Toward the end, it was Banks and Montenegro who finished centerstage.
After four competitors in the first callout, the judges brought out the other five in the second. Choi Bong-Seok spent the callout in the middle and his physique popped. In the final callout, the judges brought out the same four from the first. As callouts went on, Weatherspoon continued to impress and caught some eyes. The overall presence of Banks is hard to ignore and this is why he was the runner-up at the Olympia in October.
After a look at the callouts, there are many competitors who could come out on top come Saturday night. It will be interesting to see how it plays out on stage.
This division might very well come down to the wire during the finals. Make sure to keep a close eye on comparisons and the rest of the results leading into the night portion of the event. Stay tuned to Generation Iron Fitness Network as we continue to provide coverage.

2022 Arnold Classic Analysis: An Epic Face-Off Between Brandon Curry & William Bonac
2022 Arnold Classic: William Bonac and Brandon Curry stand tall as they were shuffled in with impressive looking Justin Rodriguez and Steve Kuclo
Friday night held the Men’s Open pre-judging event, giving the fans a first look at the top competitors with their full stage-ready physiques. Despite this year’s lineup suffering from many drop-outs, there were still some powerful athletes on the stage. Most notable were Brandon Curry and William Bonac – two former Arnold Classic champions who have had a friendly rivalry throughout most of their career. After a bit of a shuffling by the judges during the final callout – it appears that Brandon Curry and William Bonac are the ones battling for first place going into the 2022 Arnold Classic finals tonight.
Last night we witness the finals for the Fitness International, Figure International, and Classic Physique divisions. We also saw the Men’s Open pre-judging – which is a bit of a different schedule than the typical Arnold Classic. Usually, the Men’s Open pre-judging and finals both take place on the same day. This change, while seemingly insignificant, can have a huge impact. The competitors now have a full 24 hours to adjust their physiques based on the pre-judging results.
Going into the show, Brandon Curry and William Bonac were favorites to win the show. Both have been Arnold Classic champions before. Not only that, but Brandon Curry is a former Mr. Olympia champion – and landed second place at the Mr. Olympia less than a year ago. Bonac, on the other hand, landed sixth place at the Mr. Olympia – so it was clear he had some shaping up to do leading into the show.
Many fans also had their eye on newcomer Brett Wilkin, who was showing truly impressive physique updates on social media leading into the show. Fans also hyped Steve Kuclo, who has been consistently improving over the past two years, and Justin Rodriguez, who has been a worthy top competitor in recent years as well. Both did not disappoint – tho Wilkin seems to still have some dues to pay as he rises up in the sport.
Regan Grimes was also heavily hyped heading into the show due to his announcement last year that he was training with Milos Sarcev. Though he ultimately did not make it into the final top 4 callout by the judges. It seems that there might still be some tweaking he has to do as he continues into the 2022 bodybuilding season.
The 2022 Arnold Classic originally had 14 contestants set for the Men’s Open division. But there were many drop outs due to a variety of reasons. Cedric McMillan, Akim Williams, Mohamed Shaaban, Rafael Brandao, and Nathan De Asha all eventually dropped out of the competition. In addition to this, defending champion Nick Walker did not decide to do the Arnold Classic this year – leaving the doors open for a new champion this year.
Breaking down the 2022 Arnold Classic Men’s Open pre-judging
The first callout started strong with most fan favorites making it into the lineup. Usually, the first callout is the judges first impression picks for the top spots. But now they need to see these athletes side by side – which can significantly change the scores and decisions of the judges.
The first callout included Brandon Curry, William Bonac, Brett Wilkin, Steve Kuclo, Justin Rodriguez, and Samson Dauda. True to form, head judge Steve Weinberger had some fun shuffling these guys around during the callout. Making it initially hard for the audiences and the athletes themselves to know who was being favored. Weinberger seems to enjoy this tactic to keep the athletes on their toes – and to bring some excitement and tension for the fans watching.
Notably, Regan Grimes did not make his way into the first callout. This may be a disappointment to fans who were running high after his previous pro win and his impressive updates on social media with his coach Milos Sarcev.
By the time we got to the final callout – showcasing what is likely the top four placings for the Men’s Open division, we had cut the fat down to Brandon Curry, Steve Kuclo, William Bonac, and Justin Rodriguez.
Despite both Samson Dauda and Brett Wilkin looking strong – they seem to be falling closer to the fifth and sixth positions. During a later callout, both Dauda and Wilkin were put side by side in a callout featuring only the two of them. This seemed to be the judges deciding who would be the best pick for fifth and sixth place.
Again, during the final callout, Steve Weinberger shuffled each and every one of the top 4 into the center position. But by the end of the callout, we saw William Bonac and Brandon Curry square center. Over all of their callouts across the pre-judging, both Bonac and Curry seemed to be in the center the most – signaling their dominance.
Beyond their actual placement in the callouts, it was clear that Brandon Curry and William Bonac were bringing stellar physiques worthy of the top spots. Bonac, in particular, improved immensely since we last saw him at the Mr. Olympia 2021. Curry maintained his usual consistency that earned him a previous Mr. Olympia win and constant top placings.

Arnold Classic 2022 Men’s Open Prejudging Report & Analysis
Highlights from the Arnold Classic 2022 Men’s Open prejudging.
The prejudging for the Men’s Open division has been completed at the Arnold Classic 2022. Despite many competitors pulling out of the competition in recent weeks, this division still highlights the event and will bring plenty of excitement during the finals on Saturday night. Rafael Brandao was the first to withdraw from the competition before Nathan De Asha and Mohamed Shaaban suffered injuries. Akim Williams and Cedric McMillan also pulled their names out over the last three weeks.
With Nick Walker not appearing in Columbus, a new competitor was ready to take over as champion. Brandon Curry and William Bonac were the only previous Arnold Classic winners to compete and entered as two of the favorites. Steve Kuclo finished third last year and has a chance to finish in the top three once again. Regan Grimes and Brett Wilkin are dark-horse contenders to make a run at the title as well.
The first callout featured six competitors but the judges seemed to focus on Curry, Samson Dauda, and Justin Rodriguez. They shuffled athletes in and out to get a good look next to one another. Kuclo was also moved into the center late as he showed up with great conditioning. Bonac and Wilkin were also featured in the first callout.
With nine competitors, the final three were featured in the second callout, along with Dauda and Wilkin. This means that the early top four has been set. We have seen in the past that this can change as the competition goes on, especially with the finals being the next day.
The judges made sure to get a look at Curry and Bonac next to each other in the center. Kuclo and Rodriguez were placed on the outside in the third callout. In the fourth callout, Dauda and Wilkin were brought back out, which could be the battle for fifth place. The final callout featured the top four from the third as the judges continued to mix the positioning.
Despite the recent withdrawals, this division might very well come down to the wire during the finals and it still destined to bring plenty of energy. Make sure to keep a close eye on comparisons and the rest of the results leading into the night portion of the event. Stay tuned to Generation Iron Fitness Network as we continue to provide coverage.
