2024 Arnold Classic Wellness International Pre-Judging Report

A new champion is guaranteed in the Wellness division.

Written by Roger Lockridge
Last updated on March 4th, 2024

The 2024 Wellness International competition is buzzing as the pre-judging portion of the show just wrapped up at the 2024 Arnold Classic, occurring in the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, OH, from March 1-2.

With the 2023 champion, Kassandra Gillis, out of this year’s contents, a new Wellness International champion is guaranteed, and the line-up is stacked with two legends: Three-time Wellness Olympia champion Francielle Mattos and 2022 Arnold champion Isabelle Pereira Nunes. After multiple rounds of scrutiny from the IFBB Pro League judges, the two Wellness elites appear to be the front runners.

All the athletes were introduced to the crowd individually in the following order:

2024 Wellness International Roster

  • Sandra Colorado Acal
  • Amanda Burnett
  • Johanna Calcano
  • Lili Dong
  • Anne-Marie Gobeil
  • Andrea Hrenko
  • Hye Yoon Kim
  • Francielle Mattos
  • Isabelle Pereira Nunes
  • Bruna Seredich
  • Courtney Starr

After the competitors greeted the Expo crowd, watching from seats and standing in the aisles, head judge Sandy Williamson had the athletes return for comparisons.

The first and last callouts are the most important as they determine who is in the running for the title. Here’s who reached which callout:

Callout One

  • Lili Dong
  • Sandra Colorado Acal
  • Isabelle Pereira Nunes
  • Francielle Mattos
  • Bruna Seredich
  • Anna-Meria Gobeil

Callout Two

  • Andrea Hrenko
  • Courtney Starr
  • Hye Yoon Kim
  • Amanda Burnett
  • Johanna Calcano

Callout Three

  • Sandra Colorado Acal
  • Isabelle Pereira Nunes
  • Francielle Mattos
  • Bruna Seredich

Mattos’ fans came out in full force to show their support. As expected, she and Nunes were in the center of the first call-out. The judges made Nunes and Mattos perform two complete rounds of posing before they returned to the back of the stage.

The final call-out included Mattos, Nunes, Sandra Colorado Acal, and Brian Seredich. They will be the front runners going into the finals, which will be held later in the evening at the Battelle Grand Ballroom, where the 2024 champion will be crowned. 

BarBend will provide coverage of the final round of the 2024 Wellness International contest and the other six events of the 2024 Arnold Classic weekend. Fans not in Columbus can watch the action live for free on the Arnold Sports Festival livestream.
