2023 Arnold Classic South America Results — Behrooz Tabani Wins
This year’s 2023 Arnold Classic South America kicked off April 14-16 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This competition served as a Mr. Olympia qualifier for the Men’s Open and Men’s Wheelchair divisions.
The bodybuilding calendar is currently underway as athletes aim to earn their respective invitations to the 2023 Mr. Olympia competition. This year’s Olympia takes place from November 2-5, in Orlando, Florida inside the Orange County Convention Center.
Athletes from the Men’s Open division must win a pro show to guarantee their passage to the prestigious Mr. Olympia event. The point system has been removed and there are fewer months to qualify in 2023 compared to last year.
A few names got the attention of fans, who expect a very exciting show in Brazil. Vitor Hugo Boff is a leading threat this weekend. Boff was the 2022 Musclecontest Brazil Pro champ and made his debut on the Olympia stage last December.
Additionally, Emir Omeragic, who placed sixth at last year’s New York Pro was eager to prove naysayers wrong with a commanding performance. And perhaps the biggest frontrunner of the show, Behrooz Tabani, trained by Milos Sarcev, intends to do some damage. His lone pro show came at the 2021 Romania Muscle Fest Pro where he placed third behind Samson Dauda.

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.

Olympia 2021 Pro Wheelchair Results
The Olympia 2021 Pro Wheelchair winner is…
The Pro Wheelchair division in bodybuilding has seen exponential growth year after year. What started as a fledgling division eventually made it onto the main stage of both the Arnold Classic and the Mr. Olympia.
At its core, Pro Wheelchair is further proof of the main message behind bodybuilding. Hard work and dedication towards your goals can lead towards transformation. Not only that – but push the limits of what we think is possible in this world. This is never made more clear than at the Olympia 2021 – bringing the greatest pro wheelchair competitors together from across the world.
In addition to the typical posing routines and comparison rounds – a unique element to the Pro Wheelchair division is the announcement of each athlete’s injuries. Depending on the nature of the injury, the bodybuilder will have different mobility. This directly affects what can and cannot be trained.
Typically, the Pro Wheelchair division is judged from the waist up. But the nature of the injury is detailed before each routine to bring context to what they can and cannot train as effectively. This plays into the judges decisions to some degree.
