Ten bodybuilders to compete at the 2022 Arnold Classic after four pull out.
The 2022 Arnold Classic’s lineup of the best bodybuilders in the world, has been cut down to 10 athletes after four pulled due to injuries and other factors.
Akim Williams is the latest bodybuilder to confirm that he will not be competing at the Arnold Classic.
According to various sources, Akim’s contest prep was disrupted after he took some time off to recover from Covid-19.
Akim was predicted to be one of the front runners to possibly win the event.
Akim is the fourth top competitor to pull out from the Arnold Classic the last few weeks.
Just a few weeks ago, Nathan DeAsha also was forced to skip the event after he partially tore his bicep. Nathan has already repaired his bicep, but he needs the time to recover.
Mohamed Shaaban also withdrew from the competition due to neck and spinal cord injuries. It is a great disappointment that we cannot see Mohamed on the Arnold Classic stage.
Finally, the first competitor to pull out of the competition is Rafael Brandao. Rafael did not give any explanation on why he decided to skip this competition.
