The Men’s Pro Wheelchair division is eagerly anticipated each year, showcasing not only impressive physiques but also the competitive spirit of the sport. Prior to the contest, there was consensus within the bodybuilding community that Harold Kelley would be difficult to beat for another title. However, former Arnold champion Gabriele Andriulli was considered a strong contender to challenge him.
The 2024 Arnold Classic Day 2 witnessed an exciting battle among several contenders on the AC Wheelchair stage. Notably, Gabriele Andriulli showcased impressive pecs and defined biceps, vying for the title. Despite Andriulli’s efforts, he faced stiff competition from the dense and conditioned physique of Rajesh John, ultimately securing the victory.
