The 2023 Arnold Classic is done and dusted. The second most prestigious competition after Mr. Olympia was held between March 2 and 5 in Columbus, Ohio, as Ramon Dino was crowned the classic physique champion at the 2023 Arnold Classic.

Samson Dauda won the title in the men's open division. Apart from the classic physique and open division, Erin Banks won the title in the men's physique division. Ramon was awarded a prize money of $60,000 as a result of winning the classic physique title.

Following the conclusion of the 2023 Arnold Classic, the seven-time Mr. Olympia title winner Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a photo on Instagram along with the top six bodybuilders of the open division at the Arnold Classic. Along with the photo, he wrote the following caption:

"Congrats to all of these true champions, one of our greatest @arnoldsports lineups I can remember. I’m so proud that bodybuilding is in such good hands. Congrats to @samson__dauda for taking the title."

In the photo, we can see Samson Dauda, Nick Walker, Andrew Jacked, Big Ramy, Shaun Clarida and Akim Williams. But reacting to the photo, an Instagram user posted a comment asking where Ramon Dino was:

"wheres ramon dino?"

Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to have posted a group photo along with the open division competitors, but several fans and followers asked about Ramon, as he had won the classic physique title.

Classic Physique Division at the 2023 Arnold Classic

Most of the talk was about the roster of the open division before the start of the 2023 Arnold Classic, but the classic physique division had an equally tough and competitive line-up.

Last year's champion in the classic physique division at the 2022 Arnold Classic, Terrence Ruffin, didn't compete. So there was sure to be a new champion. Ramon Dino claimed the title at the 2023 Arnold Classic while Urs Kalecinski finished in second place.

Alex Cambronero finished in third place. Mike Sommerfeld and Courage Opara claimed fourth and fifth positions. The top five of the classic physique division at the 2023 Arnold Classic are listed below:

  1. Ramon Dino
  2. Urs Kalecinski
  3. Alex Cambronero
  4. Mike Sommerfeld
  5. Courage Opara

These top five bodybuilders at the Arnold Classic will be looking forward to competing for the classic physique title at the 2023 Mr. Olympia, which has been won by Chris Bumstead for the past four years.
