Figure International

Reigning Olympia champion Cydney Gillon badly wanted to win her second Figure International title, and she was the clear favorite going into the contest. This is Gillon’s second Figure International title.

Still, Gillon had to get through the likes of Natalya Soltero and Jessica Reyes-Padilla, both of who were favorites to upset the champ and derail her domination of the Figure division.

  3. Lola Montez
  4. Nicole Zenobia Graham
  5. Natalia Soltero

Fitness International

The returning champ Missy Truscott came out donning boxing garb — a clear message that she was hellbent on defending her title after losing the Fitness Olympia title in October to new champion Whitney Jones. However, Ariel Khadr stood in her way.

Khadr’s routine paid tribute to the contest’s namesake as she wore a Terminator-like outfit and performed her routine to music from the movie’s soundtrack.

This is Khadr’s first ever Arnold title.

  2. Missy Truscott
  3. Jaclyn Baker
  4. Kate Errington
  5. Tamara Vahn

Classic physique

The Classic Physique was considered a three-man race. Defending champion Terrence Ruffin looked to repeat by beating former Olympic champion Breon Ansley as well as the newest rising star of the division, Urs Kalecinski.

And he did it. Ruffin won his second Arnold Classic title and became the first man to win back-to-back Arnold Classic Classic Physique titles.
