2020 IFBB Women's Physique International
(Columbus, Ohio - March 6, 2020)
Arguably on a par with the Ms. Olympia, this invitational only IFBB Pro Event featured the very best in the WPD Division. 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 limit the general public audience to just the Finals.
The trade show/expo had been cancelled as well. So that's how this reporter's first Arnold Classic experience played out. Back to the
competition, it did NOT disappoint! One of the favorites coming in to this show was Natalia Abraham Coelho and she HAD to be good to
beat this field. Hot at her heels was a much improved Anne-Lorraine Mohn from the Olympia, quite the stage presence given her height
and size in comparison to others! Very impressive and well deserved placing. Speaking of impressive, Claudia Diaz, who did well at the 2019 IFBB Vancouver Pro Show
continues to improve...a 6th Place here. Also in the top 6 mix was a resurgent Jennifer Taylor, never count her out. Throw in mounds of
muscle with Margita Zamolova, Desunka Dawson plus Valentina Mishina in 7th Place and you've got quite the show!
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!
