Athletes performed Fiji rounds at the Expo Stage in Columbus, Ohio.
Last updated: March 1, 2024
Two-time Fitness International Champion Ariel Cadre will be among the athletes competing in the 2024 edition of the competition to be held on Friday, March 1, 2024 in Columbus, Ohio, with a shot at third place for the Arnold title. I started my quest. This invitation-only competition will see 11 of fitness’s best athletes join Kadru on stage at the Arnold Expo.
The opening round of the show was the Fiji Round. This round accounts for his third of the overall score. It certainly doesn’t hurt even if an athlete didn’t need to aim for and score high in the Fiji round to win the all-around contest. Announcer Bob Cicerillo introduced all 12 contestants to the crowd and viewers who were watching live on the livestream.

Mr. Khadr and Jaclyn Baker seemed to have the support of the majority of the crowd. But the first callout had Tamara Vann and Jody Bohm in the middle. Michel Fredure-Mensah was also compared in his first call-up. At the final convocation, Mr. Khadr, Mr. Vern, Mr. Baker and Mr. Fredua Mensah appeared in order.
The second round of this contest will be the routine round. This is not only the most fun part of the contest for many fans, but also accounts for two-thirds of his overall score. Winning is still difficult for everyone.
