The ten women competing in the 2022 Wellness International have a unique opportunity to make history. Very few people know what it’s like to be the inaugural champion of a contest at the Arnold Classic. The winner of this contest will be referenced every year going forward because she was the first. She will also be considered a favorite for the 2022 Wellness Olympia, when Francielle Mattos will defend her title. Mattos isn’t in the lineup, but here are the ten women who will be in Columbus.

Angela Borges was the runner-up at the Olympia, and she is the favorite going into this contest. She was the Pittsburgh Pro winner last year. So, she knows how to win these contests. Yarishna Ayala finished fourth at the Olympia, but she was the New York Pro winner in 2021. Then there’s Isabelle Nunes, who took third at the Olympia. She has two wins from 2021, and starting 2022 by winning here would be a big feather in her cap. Those will likely be the top three, and it would please many fans if they saw Nunes take the title.
