William Bonac puts 2023 season on hold, aims to come back stronger at 2024 Arnold Classic
Following an unsatisfactory performance, Bonac is taking a break
William Bonac is a bodybuilder who belongs to the elite group of athletes in the sport. With his impressive physique and achievements, he has become one of its biggest stars. However, fans won’t be able to witness his performances on stage for a while. In a post on his Instagram account on March 6, 2023, Bonac shared his reflections on his likely disappointing seventh-place finish at the 2023 Arnold Classic. He had entered the competition aiming for his third career title, something that only four other bodybuilders had accomplished in the event’s 34-year history. But instead of a victory, Bonac revealed that he won’t compete for the rest of 2023.
After a recent competition that did not meet his expectations, William Bonac has decided to take a break from the sport. Bonac is a two-time Arnold Classic champion, having won the prestigious bodybuilding event in 2018 and 2020. However, this year’s edition did not go as he had hoped, and he finished in seventh place. In an Instagram post on March 6, 2023, Bonac shared his disappointment about his performance and revealed his decision to skip all competitions for the rest of the year.
