Arnold Classic 2022 Bikini International Results
Lauralie Chapados wins Bikini International at the Arnold Classic 2022.
The Bikini International division is one that has been growing year to year. It was part of the Arnold Classic last year and has become extremely popular at the biggest events of the season. During this year’s competition, it was Lauralie Chapados who impressed during prejudging and was able to turn that into a victory during the finals.
The prejudging round saw Chapados take control, along with Maureen Blanquisco and Ashley Kaltwasser. Blanquisco was able to gain an extra advantage and finish as the runner-up. This was not an easy division to judge heading into the finals on Saturday night. It came down to the final action on stage and that is when Chapados was able to pull ahead in the standings. Former Arnold Classic champion Elisa Pecini rounded out the top four.
With Jennifer Dorie preparing for the Olympia, there was a new champion crowned and there could be some more fireworks come December. This is especially true since Chapados was the runner-up at the event in 2021.

Arnold Pro Strongwoman 2022 Results
A complete breakdown of the Arnold Pro Strongwoman 2022 results
In what was an exciting two-day event, the Arnold Pro Strongwoman 2022 has wrapped with Victoria Long winning the entire event. Taking place at the Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, ten strongwomen converged on the arena in hopes of being crowned the ultimate champion. With grueling events, plenty of drama, and a fantastic showing by all the athletes, we now have a winner and are already looking ahead to next year.
Looking back to our love of Strongman, and now with Strongwomen events as well, what we find so fascinating is the ability the human body has to lift almost immovable objects. A test of the body and mind, these competitors are keen on proving just how good they are by lifting massive amounts of weight.
The Arnold Pro Strongwoman 2022 was just another event highlighting why the sport is so fun and entertaining to watch and to the credit of all these competitors, they put on quite a show for fans far and wide. The event sponsors of Strongman Corporation and Rogue worked hard to give this event the attention it deserved and continue to promote this wonderful sport.

2022 Arnold Classic Slap Fighting Championship Results
2022 Arnold Classic Slap Fighting Championships: Complete Breakdown And Results
Just weeks before the 2022 Arnold Classic, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Logan Paul surprised the world by announcing that the Slap Fight Championships would be held at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio. A somewhat controversial and instantly viral sport, its placement at the festival provides a deeper sense of legitimacy for the fledgeling competition series. Now the championships have come to a close – continue reading for the official 2022 Arnold Classic Slap Fighting Championship results.
There were a total of five fights during this year’s 2022 Arnold Classic Slap Fighting Championship. One battle in the women’s division, three light heavyweight division fights, and the headliner super heavyweight division fight. The headliner featured 3x Slap Fighting champion Dawid “Zales” Zalewski vs Koa Viernez. Both competitors were undefeated going into the fight, though Zalewski held considerably more overall wins with 16 victories compared to Viernez’s 9.
Ultimately, Dawid Zalewski earned yet another victory via a TKO against Koa Viernez during the third round. The battle had some controversy in the earlier rounds as Viernez accused Zalewski of an illegal head tilt and was also unhappy that there were no judges from the United States present.
Slap Fight Championship Fight Breakdown & Results
Adrianna Śledź vs Julia Kruzer (Women’s Slap Fight)
The first match of the afternoon was Adrianna Śledź vs Julia Kruzer in the only women’s match of the night. Adrianna was the more experienced fighter as this was Julia’s first ever fight. And it showed – as she landed two separate fouls in the first two rounds. Adrianna, on the other hand, landed sharp and powerful hits on Julia with every round of the match.
After all was said and done, Adrianna Śledź won the battle by decision.
Maksymilian “Mad Max” Leśniak vs Nikolas “Predator” Toth (Light Heavyweight)
The second battle moved us into the Light Heavyweight division and showcased two very powerful competitors facing off. The battle between Maksymilian Leśniak and Nikolas Toth was a clean one. However it ended up being short and sweet.
Maksymilian Leśniak landed a TKO against Nikolas Toth. Though Toth was able to get back up and desired to continue fighting, the judges determined that he should be removed from the match as a TKO.
Mateusz “Kazek” Kaźmierczak vs Michał “Kucik” Kuciński (Light Heavyweight)
In the second Light Heavyweight match of the afternoon, Mateusz “Kazek” Kaźmierczak battled against Michał “Kucik” Kuciński. Both competitors had strong wills as neither would go down. Though there was one slight complication in the first round, as Kaźmierczak earned a foul for lifting his shoulder to brace a hit.
In the end, Mateusz Kaźmierczak won by decision after the three rounds.
Pater “Aligator” Truchlik vs Karol “Pikolo” Wyłupek (Light Heavyweight)
In the final Light Heavyweight battle of the afternoon, we had what was probably the closest fight of the championship. Both Pater “Aligator” Truchlik and Karol “Pikolo” Wyłupek took each slap without faltering. They even playfully taunted each other after each round. Most notably, Pater would pull out his comb and fix his beard after he received each slap.
Both competitors made it through all three rounds. Pater Truchlik won by decision.
Dawid “Zaleś” Zalewski vs Koa “Da Crazy Hawaiian” Viernes (Super Heavyweight)
The headliner event of the night was the only Super Heavyweight match. And true to the size of these competitors, this was the most intense battle of the night. The fight not only contained the most powerful slaps but also some controversy.
Koa Viernes brought up concerns during the first round. First that Dawid Zalewski was pulling his chin down too low (this is an illegal tactic to brace a slap in the sport). After the first round was completed, Viernes also took the mic to complain that none of the judges were from the United States – a thinly veiled accusation about the fairness of the fight.
Ultimately, none of this mattered. The headliner match was set to be five rounds (as opposed to the three rounds for each of the other fights). The competitors didn’t even have to go past three.
Dawid “Zaleś” Zalewski won by TKO against Koa “Da Crazy Hawaiian” Viernes. With Viernes falling directly headfirst into the table after the slap. He quickly regained consciousness but, for health concerns, had to be taken out of the match.
2022 Arnold Classic Slap Fighting Championship History
The Arnold Sports Festival is most known in the bodybuilding world for its highlight event – the Arnold Classic pro bodybuilding competition. While this takes the center stage, the festival also holds over 60 other athletic events including MMA, powerlifting, the Arnold Strongman Classic, and more. So it may be a pleasant surprise for fans that slap fighting is now official part of that list.
The 2022 Arnold Classic Slap Fighting Championship not only was held at the Arnold Sports Festival, it was also presented on their official Fanmio PPV live stream. In addition to this, Logan Paul also streamed the championship event on his official YouTube channel.

Logan Paul’s involvement is not unexpected. His connection to slap fighting goes way back to 2019, when he claimed that he would be preparing to fight in the championship himself. Ultimately after a few videos of him training, and a controversial claim that his slap videos were staged, he cancelled his plans to compete.
Notable Slap Fighting Championship Athletes
Vasilii Kamotskii, better known as Dumpling, is one of the most viral athletes who, arguably, first brought the sport to international attention. He is consider the first true legend in the early life of the sport. Though he has participated in many fights, his most notable might be the PunchDown 4 fight against Dawid Zales. Dumpling won by judge decision – but many believed that the fight should have went to Zales in the end.
Dawid “Zales” Zalewski is the current 3x PunchDown champion – having won PunchDown 2, 3, and 5. Zales did not compete in PunchDown 4 – leaving the championship open for Neippokonany Kostrzes to win the title that year. As of the time of this writing, Dawid Zales has yet to lose any professional slap fight.
Though Dumpling was absent from the 2022 Arnold Classic Slap Fight Championship, Dawid “Zales” Zalewski ultimately maintained his win streak as the headliner event of the afternoon.

Evgeny Markov — 9 points
Luke Stoltman — 8 points
Tom Stoltman — 7 points
Trey Mitchell — 5.5 points
Top Competitors Coming In
With an impressive field of dedicated and accomplished strongmen, there were a few to note coming into this event. Tom Stoltman is the current holder of the World’s Strongest Man title and came in as a real force. Martins Licis just had an impressive win at the first ever Rogue Invitational and also came into the event as a top competitor.
But with guys like Oleksii Novikov, the 2020 World’s Strongest Man winner, this event was wide open for the taking. Bobby Thompson stepped in at the last minute to replace Mateusz Kieliszkowski, who withdrew his name with an injury.
Currently Rob Kearney is leading the pack after two intense lifting events. He is followed closely by Oleksii Novikov in second – who also has been open about representing Ukraine during this very catastrophic time for the country. Currently only two events have been completed, the Max Squat and the Monster Dumbbell Press. The Max Squat in particular contained strategy as well as strength – as the athletes could decide which weight to enter into the competition and have a max of three attempts to earn the heaviest lift.
In an interesting turn of events – Rob Kearney is in first place despite not nabbing a number one spot in either of the two events. But due to a solid second place victory in both events and two different winners across the two as well, he statistically lands in the number one spot overall in the leaderboard in Day 1.
Event Breakdown
For the Arnold Strongman Classic 2022, there were 5 events that competitors trained for and studied in efforts to be as prepared as possible. These events have been seen before, but with this cast of strongmen, the battle for first was fierce and one you didn’t want to miss.
Spread out over two days, two events were held on Friday and three events on Saturday, so both strength and conditioning were imperative for the success of each athlete.
Event #1: Max Squat
Each competitor had three attempts to hit their max weight. This was a new event for the Arnold Strongman Classic and a very entertaining one to watch.
This event came right down to the wire between J.F. Caron, Rob Kearney, and Martins Licis. The bar was set close to 1,000 pounds and it was Caron who took home first place. After Licis squatted 956 pounds, Kearney raised him five pounds. This is when Caron decided to take it up even higher and completed a 966-pound squat on the final attempt of the event.
First Place: J.F. Caron – 966 lbs
Second Place: Rob Kearney – 961 lbs
Third Place: Martins Licis – 956 lbs

Event #2: Monster Dumbbell Press
This event was performed for reps at 275 lbs. Athletes were required to take the dumbbell off the ground and lift overhead as many reps as possible in a time frame of 90 seconds.
In a difficult event, Novikov made it look easy. The Ukrainian strongman stepped up to the 275-pound dumbbell and dominated with seven reps. This was more than enough to clinch first place in the event. Kearney was able to claim the second spot by himself with a late rep to get to four, besting three other competitors.
First Place: Oleksii Novikov – 7 reps
Second Place: Rob Kearney – 4 reps
T-Third Place: Luke Stoltman – 3 reps
