With no real surprises in the results, except for the late withdrawal of Betty Pariso due to the flu, the Arnold Classic showcased the best of the best.
Iris Kyle, as expected, dominated the bodybuilding lineup leaving no doubt from the beginning of prejudging she would claim her fourth Arnold title. Jen Hendershott collected her second Arnold title and $25,000 prize money, an anticipated win with Kim Klein retired and Adela Garcia out with an injury. Providing a slight surprise, Zivile Raudoniene won her first major title through besting defending champ Gina Aliotti for the Figure title.
