List of competitors in Arnold Classic 2023 Men's Open Category and guest appearances
The Classic, the second-most prominent bodybuilding tournament in the world, has always been a spectacular sight. This year won't be any different because a number of highly well-known athletes are on the open division roster.
The Arnold Classic 2023 started with only six competitors since Charles Griffen and Blessing Awodibu withdrew soon after the list was made public.
Yet, several well-known bodybuilders entered the Open division after Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that the victor would get $300,000 in prize money.
William Bonac, a two-time Classic champion, is one of the competitors to keep an eye on. Former Mr Olympia Big Ramy, who lost his title in November last year, will appear with him on stage.
Here is the full list of competitors:
- William Bonac
- Shaun Clarida
- Samson Dauda
- Kamal Elgargni
- Mamdouh "Big Ramy" Elssbiay
- Chinedu Andrew Obiekea
- Patrick Moore
- Justin Rodriguez
- Nick Walker
- Akim Williams
The most notable competitors in the Men's Classic Physique are the German Urs Kalecinski and the Brazilian Ramon 'Dino'. Behind Chris Bumstead, they came second and third, respectively, in the 2022 Olympia. CBum will be present at the Classic as a guest rather than as a participant.
Legendary bodybuilders like Phil Heath, Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, and Flex Wheeler will also be present at the exhibition as guests, in addition to CBum.
