This year, Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘s fitness expo venue was completely ghosted due to growing coronavirus concerns. The 32nd annual Arnold Sports Festival in Ohio was shutdown two days ago. But despite government action – which forced the venue to close to it’s spectator – the former professional bodybuilder, 72, decided to continue with the expo as planned.
He was left very much alone as the 750,000 square-foot hall was eerily empty amid the virus spreading.
However, that didn’t stop some of the best bodybuilders and powerlifters in the world from showing up and giving it all they had.
