Arnold Classic Predictions 2022 Classic Physique

Outside of Canada’s own Classic Physique Olympia Champion Chris Bumstead, the best of the best in Classic Physique will be vying for the 2022 Classic Physique title at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio. The nine athletes that will face the judges are listed below.

Breon Ansley (USA)


Michael Daboul (United Kingdom)


Urs Kalecinski (Germany)


Peter Molnar (Hungary)

Terrence Ruffin (USA)


Ramon Rocha Queiroz (Brasil)


Darwin Uribe (Colombia)


Lenny Wicks (USA)


Divine Wilson (USA)

The main showdown that fans are waiting to see are 2021 Arnold winner Terrence Ruffin and 2018 champion Breon Ansley. Ruffin placed second ahead of Ansley for the second time in a row at the Olympia. But, the two-time Olympia winner feels that his best is yet to come, and he’s placed extra focus on his lower body training with hopes of making his legs match his symmetrical upper body.

Then there’s the “Miracle Bear”, Urs Kalecinski of Germany. He placed fourth at the Olympia and is considered by some as a future contender to Bumstead. These three men will likely be the last three standing. The former champions will likely be the top two here, with Kalecinski taking third place. It could be a coin flip on game day, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Ruffin repeats in Columbus.
