The Arnold Classic championship is an event put together worldwide on each continent to celebrate bodybuilding great Arnold Schwarzenegger each year. It is the biggest bodybuilding event on the Africa continent<\/p>\n

After registration and the competition on the 21st of November, 2 Ghanaians; James Atsu and Michael Otu who were registered in the men\u2019s Bodybuilding Up To 80kg placed 2nd and 4th respectively. In the men\u2019s Bodybuilding Up To 90kg, Godwin Frimpong, Evans Amwagsi and Abraham Mawutor placed 1st, 2nd and 4th respectively.

In all Ghana won two gold medals, two silver medals and two 4th placed medals<\/p>\n

The president of the GBFA said \u201cGhana always perform very well, flying high the flag of Ghana anytime we travel out to represent the country in international events and Ghana bodybuilding is now given the needed respect when it comes to competing internationally. We\u2019ve done some good job with bodybuilding in this country over the years with our own fundings and I think it\u2019s high time the authorities above give bodybuilding the needed financial support to continue the development of the sport in Ghana \u201c<\/p>\n

Next year will be a busy year for bodybuilding in Ghana and bodybuilding seriously need the support of the NSA and the Sports ministry\u201d<\/p>\n
