2020 Arnold Amateur Open Figure Championships (Columbus, Ohio - March 5-7, 2020) One of the most prestigious IFBB Pro Qualifiers in the world is the Arnold Amateur. As part of the Arnold Sports Festival, it attracts visitors from all over the world. In a last minute move to err on the side of caution regarding health threats and public safety (ie. coronavirus), it was decided to not allow the general public audience into any of the amateur events. The trade show/expo had been cancelled as well. So that's how this reporter's first Arnold Classic experience played out. With the size of these divisions/classes, thought we'd just dedicate an entire report page to just the one Figure Open category. We covered the amateur events for Muscle Insider Magazine and there is much content there including individual photos. The links to those galleries are below. This page is more meant to encapsulate the competition with all the key results presented in a simple way! To the actual competition...It was evident the moment she walked out on stage that Class 'C' winner Anita Davis was something special. Perfect 'X' Frame proportionality rivaling many Pros, she seemed destined to take the Overall title. Placing 2nd in that overall battle was 'A' Class winner Militsa Rivera, beautiful shape and size but Anita's more detailed physique was unbeatable here. In an effort to support the sponsors and exhibitors of the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival and canceled Arnold Fitness EXPO, the Arnold Virtual EXPO was created so you can still connect and have access to all the amazing products, services and offers you would have seen at the Arnold Sports Festival! More will be added to this page as time permits. A huge thanks to Muscle Insider for having us shoot the Arnold Amateur's for them...our main role here. Their detailed coverage of the Pro show, in particular of individual presentation round photos are available at muscleinsider.com Thanks of course to the organizers, and in particular Media Relations director Matt Lorz for all their hospitality and hard work in making this event a success!.
