The 2026 Arnold Classic Bikini International finals took place at the Battelle Grand in the Greater Columbus Convention Center on March 7. Competitors gathered for the finals at 7 PM EST, and after a handful of comparisons, Aimee Delgado secured the title!
The Bikini division is among the most competitive in the IFBB Pro League. Meeting the category’s criteria is a balancing act: competitors need enough muscle, but too much and they risk the lean aesthetic look judges are after.
In 2025, Vania Auguste won the Bikini International title, but she chose not to compete at this year’s event. That left room for a new champion to emerge, and this lineup proved to be strong. Bikini contenders like Lauralie Chapados, Aimee Delgado, and Ashlyn Little went to war. Check out who thrived in the finals below:
