2024 Arnold Classic - The Arnold Live Stream - Finals tonight..?

[Taffin]

Stream starts in under an hour and I'm wondering about something

Website says the order is: Classic Bikini, Men’s Physique, Men’s Open Finals

But the stream says: Men's Open, Bikini, Men's Physique

I wonder which way round it will be - usually the Open is the last event, but didn't they switch things up at some event last year?  It can't be first, can it..   Does anyone know for sure (can't be bothered to Google)

No way open would be first.They always leave them last in every single show otherwise everyone would get up and leave after the open ,except maybe family members of MPD and bikini .
Once I’ve attended NYPro in Tribeca where men’s  open went first in the pre-judge after it was over along with 212 literally 70% got up end left.
Open is still biggest draw IMO.

So the winner is...

  Antoine Vaillant looked pretty good and got shafted  IMO.He was in the first callout and looked to be 4-5th.

I think after prejudging Antoine was 6th and Akim was 7th.  Akim was definitely better tonight and they got flipped.  When I say better, I mean much improved.  I'm not sure I thought he was better than Antoine tonight.  He definitely wasn't last night.  Still, a good showing for Antoine.  If Antoine can keep that level of condition and be about 5-6 pounds fuller he'll be alright.  I noticed that his lower pecs really are kind of deflated.  Reminds me of Titus.

If Samson ever nails his conditioning he will be impossible to beat. Congrats to Hadi.

Has a great build,,big guy for his height not sure if he weighs what he claims cause if he is 275 off season and comes in 230 tom240:at 5 10

Hadi is still only 36. Probably has a few good years left in him.
Could dominate for a few years. He beat Lunsford IMO, but looked much better here.
IF he shows up like this for the "O", all over for Lunsford. Freak shape and size, but he looked softer.
And those horrible lat-bubbles should have been marked down...
