Arnold Classic sports festival returns to United Kingdom for the second edition.
Birmingham’s NEC will welcome the second edition of the Arnold Sports Festival UK event from 23-25 ​​September, with the IFBB Pro league as one of the main events. Organizers originally intended to have seven categories this year, namely open bodybuilding, bodybuilding under 212 pounds, classic physique, men’s physique, figure, bikini and fitness. Shortly after announcing categories for this year Arnold Classic UK show, 2 Bros Pro Events decided to also include category that has been little bit neglected by Ifbb Pro League promoters due lesser interest, the women’s physique. But this wasn’t the end as on 11th of august time organizers added Pro Wheelchair as well, I believe that huge part in this is thanks to Nick Hewiit who has been campaigning toward bringing wheelchair category to the 2 Bros/NPC.
Below you can find full list of invited athletes along with comments if they confirmed attendance.
Whole event will start on Friday 23rd of September and will last till Sunday 25th. On Friday we will have Arnold amateur male categories therefore above pro line ups will also include overall winners from amateur show. Saturday will host female categories plus wheelchair division, to my knowledge we should expect around fourteen athletes in that category of which winner will become a fifth pro on Sunday.
For those fans who would like to meet and greet the Pro`s will have a chance to do so at Hilton Birmingham Metropole, next to the NEC on 6pm September 24th (this event will be free thanks to TrainedbyJP brand.
