Arnold Classic 2022 Bikini International Prejudging Report & Analysis

Highlights from the Arnold Classic 2022 Bikini International prejudging.

The Arnold Classic 2022 Bikini International prejudging has come to an end. This gave a clear picture on who will be leading the way going into the finals. With Jennifer Dorie out of the competition, this means there will be a new champion and some previous winners took the stage once again.

Elisa Pecini won the competition in 2020 before finishing as the runner-up to Dorie in September. Ashley Kaltwasser won the Arnold Classic Bikini International in 2014 and 2015. She is still performing at a high level. Bikini International has turned into an extremely deep division over the years. Lauralie Chapados has taken huge strides in recent years and will look to add an Arnold Classic victory to her resume after finishing as the runner-up in the Olympia.

Chapados emerged as one of the favorites early in the callouts. The Bikini division is extremely deep and it is because all competitors keep improving. Kaltwasser and Pecini were also featured in the first callout, along with Maureen Blanquisco. It is not surprising that this group has emerged as frontrunners. It is full of former champions and the judges gave all four plenty of time in centerstage to get a look.

The second callout featured the next six competitors. Jourdanne Lee and Alessia Facchin spent time in the center. Lee impressed in the second callout and has a chance to rise come the finals on Saturday night. The final callout featured the same group from the first. This is likely to be the top four competitors heading into the final round. It is bound to be a close finish when Bikini competitors take the stage once again.

This division might very well come down to the wire during the finals. Make sure to keep a close eye on comparisons and the rest of the results leading into the night portion of the event. Stay tuned to Generation Iron Fitness Network as we continue to provide coverage.
