I love Brandon curry's form this year. William Bonac was very close. Happy to see a positive rivalry between competitors pushing each other hard. Sure with all these talents competing for each other at Mr. Olympia stage would step up the sport to new heights.2022 Arnold Classic Festival and Expo

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two-time Arnold Classic champion William "The Conqueror" Bonac and 2019 winner Brandon "The Prodigy" Curry will renew their rivalry at the 2022 Arnold Classic in March in Columbus, Ohio.
Bonac and Curry are among 83 athletes from eight divisions invited to compete in the 2022 Arnold Classic and related IFBB Pro League events at the 2022 Arnold Sports Festival set for March 3-6, 2022.
This year's event will feature Arnold Classic Men's Open Bodybuilding Prejudging as part of the Friday Night Finals and the highly-anticipated inaugural Wellness International.
Bonac won the Arnold Classic in 2018 and 2020 while finishing second in 2019 when Curry took home the Arnold Classic champion's trophy. Bonac was also runner-up when Curry won the Mr. Olympia in 2019. Also in the 34th Annual Arnold Classic field is 2017 champion Cedric McMillan and 2021 top five finishers Steve Kuclo (3rd), Justin Rodriguez (4th) and Akim Williams (5th).

The past two champions of the Figure International return to Columbus in search of a second title. Natalia Soltero won the Figure International title in 2020 and Cydney Gillon took home top spot in 2019. Jessica Reyes Padilla and Larhannah Robinson, among others, are expected to challenge.

Everyone keeps asking “why aren’t you doing the Arnold?”
I remember when I did the Chicago pro 6 weeks after I just turned pro. I took 4 place, 3 top guys in the sport beat me. Was I mad I didn’t win? I mean I think that should be anyones initial reaction when the goal is always to win. But I also knew I just got 4th behind some of the best.
I remember the next morning I looked myself in the mirror and I said “they will never beat me again”
Fast forward some, I won New York, I won the Arnold, I got 5th place at my first olympia. Those guys have not beaten me again.
With the guys that beat me at the olympia, it just doesn’t make sense to continue to compete without making the improvements needed to beat those guys at the olympia. I need the off-season to make big improvements for the olympia 2022.
Speak it into existence- olympia 2022, im coming for it all.
