CHINEDU ANDREW OBIEKA:- Nigerian wins Body Building Championship in US
Nigeria’s Chinedu Andrew Obieka popularly known as Andrew Jacked on Saturday night won the 2026 Arnold Classic body building championship in the United States.
Competing in the Men’s Open division Andrew Jacked clinched his first Arnold title, earning the biggest win of his career to this point.
The event began on Friday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio and the Men’s Open division was once again the headliner of the weekend.
For his effort, Jacked went home with the record prize money of $750,000.
The 41-year-old has been working toward the top of the Men’s Open division for years now. He finished third at the Olympia in October, which was the best of his career.
Since winning his first show in 2021, Jacked has become a star in the division. This victory solidifies Jacked’s position in Men’s Open moving forward — especially when looking at the rest of the field.
He had to deal with former Olympia champion Hadi Choopan and Nick Walker, who has an Arnold win under his belt.
Jacked finished behind Choopan during the Olympia, but was able to jump him on Saturday night.
The Arnold Classic was established in 1989 and is named after legendary actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It is considered the second-most-prestigious event in professional men’s bodybuilding, physique, figure and bikini after Olympia.
