Complete Results from the 2024 Arnold Classic UK!
The 2024 Arnold Classic UK has commenced, showcasing the world’s premier athletes as they strive to secure their spot for the 2024 Mr. Olympia. This prestigious event unfolds from March 15-17 at the NEC in Birmingham, England, mere weeks after the 2024 Arnold Classic in Ohio.
Dominating the spotlight all weekend, the Men’s Open category takes center stage. The Friday night will see the preliminary judging, followed by the finals on Saturday. Current Arnold Classic champion, Hadi Choopan, returns to compete against Samson Dauda, who aims to captivate the audience in his hometown. The Men’s Open division promises a stellar roster, with victors earning their entry to the 2024 Olympia in Las Vegas, NV, from Oct 10-13, 2024.
The Arnold Classic UK features seven total categories, four of which include champions of the recent Arnold Classic returning to compete. Besides Choopan, Classic Physique champion Wesley Vissers seeks his second consecutive win. Also contending are Diogo Montenegro (Men’s Physique) and Ariel Khadr (Fitness).

The Ultimate Arnold Classic Men’s Open Showdown
The clash between Hadi Choopan and Samson Dauda emerged as an unexpected twist, with both athletes’ entries uncertain shortly after the 2024 Arnold Classic. Hadi Choopan’s participation hinged on a last-minute visa approval (granted 24 hours before the UK event), while Samson Dauda contended with health concerns, later declared fit just weeks prior to the Arnold Classic UK.
This sets the stage for a tantalizing rematch between the top two contenders from the recent Arnold Classic. Will we witness a repeat performance, or will Samson seize the victory? Such outcomes could significantly impact their standings leading up to the 2024 Mr. Olympia later this year.
