COLUMBUS, Ohio USA – The Arnold Sports Festival will complete its global
expansion when the first-annual Arnold Classic Asia is held in Hong Kong
in August 2016, creating the largest series of multi-sport festivals in the

Arnold Classic Asia will be held Aug. 19-21, 2016 and includes the Arnold
Classic Asia men’s professional bodybuilding contest, an amateur bodybuilding

“The Arnold Sports Festival is proud to continue its world-wide growth with the
presentation of Arnold Classic Asia in Hong Kong in 2016,” said Jim Lorimer, who
co-founded the Arnold Classic with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Columbus, Ohio
USA in 1989. “The addition of Arnold Classic Asia will put the Arnold Classic on
six continents in 2016 and will be the latest step in Arnold’s world-wide
fitness crusade.”
The Arnold Classic Asia is a partnership between Classic Productions,
Inc., Tony Doherty, promoter of Arnold Classic Australia, and Hong Kong
businessman Richard Petty.
The first Arnold Classic was held in Columbus, Ohio in 1989 and featured
professional men’s and women’s bodybuilding. That event, now known as the Arnold
Sports Festival, now features more than 18,000 athletes competing in 55 sports
and events and draws 185,000 attendees from more than 80 nations.
The Arnold Classic first expanded in 2011 with the creation of Arnold Classic
