Arnold Classic Predictions 2022 Bikini International
The Bikini International has become one of the most popular contests at the Arnold Classic weekend in Columbus, Ohio. The 12th edition of this contest will be held on the weekend of Mar. 4-5 in the Battelle Grand Ballroom in the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Whoever wins this show will be considered Jennifer Dorie’s number one contender for the 2022 Olympia title. The list of contenders are below.
Maureen Blanquisco (USA)
Lauralie Chapados (Canada)
Lauren Dannenmiller (USA)
Alessia Facchin (Italy)
Phoebe Hagan (United Kingdom)
Ashley Kaltwasser (USA)
Jourdanne Lee (USA)
Lucia Malavaze (USA)
Elisa Pecini (Brasil)
Allison Testu (France)
Two former Olympia and Arnold champions are in this show. Ashley Kaltwasser is the winningest athlete in IFBB Pro League history with 31 victories. Elisa Pecini is the 2019 Olympia champion and 2020 winner of the Bikini International. Under normal circumstances, they would be the favorites. However, Lauralie Chapados is in this lineup. She was the runner-up to Dorie at the Olympia last year, and she’s been knocking on the door of winning a major title in recent years. If she were to win, it would set up an amazing Olympia lineup for this December in Las Vegas, Nevada. If there was a year that she could do it, 2022 would be it. So, watch for her to be the last woman standing at the end of the show.
1st – Lauralie Chapados
2nd – Ashley Kaltwasser
3rd – Elisa Pecini
