2022 Arnold Amateur
Open Figure Championships
(Columbus, Ohio - March 3, 2022)
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 and competitors from all over the world.
Like Bikini, the category lived up to expectations in that although the class sizes were relatively small,
it definitely boasted quality physiques...all after that IFBB Pro Card! A couple classes stood out for this
reporter, in particular 'G' which featured three outstanding looking representatives of the category, different
body types shape and an interesting job for the judges (haven't seen scoredards as of this writing). Lu Faustin
won the class and eventually Overall AND a Pro Card which goes along with it.

Lu has a solid structure to build upon, good size! Proportionality and muscle detail were where 2nd placer Caroline Zawadzki excelled. Great from all angles,
this was certainly a controversial result as Caroline (also being a Masters competitor) would make an excellent Pro and the sooner she gets there, the better
to showcase her talents. We've added a few photos from Finals comparisons for 'G' Class below.
Caroline DID go on to win Overall Masters, no Pro Cards here in that division though. And not to be outdone, third placer Kiira Poux looked incredible as well!
All three deserving of a spot in the 'header' portion of this page.

Now...onto the rest of the Classes. 'H' featured two outstanding competitors representing
Vancouver Island, Canada extremely well, Brooke Pighin and Mikayla Custance. Some really proportionately shapely for this division physiques in other classes,
such as Chloe Davis who also competed in Fitness.
More will be added to this page as time permits. A huge thanks to the Promoters for having us be able to shoot the Arnold's.
